Language school Bogotá, International House

WiFi is free.

School

Your Spanish courses will take place in the historical district of « La Candeleria » inside a beautiful building, luxiouriously decorated with wooden floors and carved wooden ceilings – the very building where many Colombian presidents used to dress before their ceremony of investiture ! « El Palacio », as the directors like to call it due to its glorious past, is therefore the perfect place for first class teaching ! In the entrance, a large wooden staircase sweeps up to the first floor, where 12 airy classrooms welcome students form the four corners of the globe for intensive Spanish lessons. The course centre also has a sun-filled interior courtyard and a study room with several computers where you can study in peace and quiet between lessons. At International House Bogotá, you can also meet people from the local community who attend English classes at the school. It’s a chance to improve your Spanish language ability in a both authentic and multicultural setting!
