The Spanish School

The school is located in a lovely old building in the heart of the historical district of La Candelaria. Nicknamed 'el palacio' by the school owners, it is famous for being the building that five former Colombian presidents used to dress and take refreshment in before their ceremony of investiture, as the plaque in the courtyard (shown right) testifies.

The building has many original features including beautiful tiled and wooden floors, carved wooden ceilings, a wide, wooden staircase that sweeps up to the first floor, and a spacious interior courtyard that lets in plenty of light.

Apart from reception and offices, the school has 12 spacious classrooms and a study room with computers that students can use before or after class.

IH Bogotá also teaches English to people from the local community so there are plenty of opportunities for our international students to meet and make friends with people from Bogotá.
