Spanish school
Our Spanish school in Bogota is one of the most visited language schools in Colombia due to the high quality of its Spanish courses and teaching methods. The teachers have very good training and experience in teaching Spanish as a foreign language. You will soon share their Colombian joy of life and learning will be very easy in this nice atmosphere.
The school building is located in the historic quarter of "Quinta Camacho", which is part of the picturesque district of Chapinero and is easily accessible by public transport. Nearby is the Candelaria district, which is definitely worth a visit with its colorful rows of houses and original shops, bars and restaurants.
Our Spanish school has eight classrooms, an internet room with two shared computers and free internet via WIFI. There is also a small library. The cozy video room is also used for the Spanish lessons, to practice the students' listening skills.

WIFI is available at the school and can be used free of charge by the students.
School location
Bogota is the capital of Colombia and the economic and cultural center of the country. The city has almost 8 million inhabitants, including the suburbs. It lies in the middle of the Andes, on a fertile plateau at an altitude of about 2,650 meters, in the heart of Colombia. Due to its location near the equator, the climate is warm-temperate and there are hardly any seasons.
Bogota's cityscape is characterized by a variety of beautiful colonial buildings and green spaces. In the historic district of Candelaria you will find beautiful colonial houses, student flair, nice cafes, bars and restaurants. In the main square - the Plaza de Armas - in the city center you can admire the magnificent cathedral, the judicial building, the government palace and the residence of the president. The Teusaquillo and Chapinero districts are also interesting, with houses in English suburban style.
You can be sure that there is always something going on in Bogota! For culture enthusiasts there are more than 50 museums and art exhibitions, as well as dance, theater and film scenes.
There also are plenty of trendy bars, pubs and discos as well as first-class restaurants. A special highlight in Bogotá's nightlife are the salsa dance clubs, where people dance to hot Latin American rhythms until the early hours of the morning.
Spanish classes
The school in Bogotá puts an emphasis on communication exercises. In addition, reading and listening comprehension as well as grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation are trained.
Spanish levels
On the first day of school there will be a placement test to determine your language skills. This is used to classify the appropriate language level. There are 6 levels of difficulty (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2) according to the CEFR (Common European Framework of References for Languages).
