This research shows the process to design a qualitative indicator system to assess the quality of Curricular Management in schools that are members of the Jesuit School Association of Colombia (ACODESI - Spanish acronyms), certified under ISO 9000:2000. The qualitative curriculum management was evaluated from a qualitative perspective, based on five parameters that are paramount in assessing curricular management (relevance, impact, transcendence, systematization, and degree of satisfaction) and seven curricular components (principles, criteria, study plan, programs and projects, methodologies, management and guidance). The following stages were followed to design the indicator system: preparing the conceptual framework, collecting documentary information through surveys and interviews, analyzing information, constructing an indicator system, and approval by expert judges. The study concludes that applying this new system offers a way to assess the quality of the education offered at the member schools of the Association; however, the system also requires a comprehensive look as it is a qualitative instrument that opposes the general trend to quantify results in schools.
