Testimonials
"I really enjoyed my time at the Spanish school in Cartagena. The teachers were quite good and made an effort to teach about the culture of Cartagena as well as the language. They were all wonderful, fun individuals, and the administration was also essential in guiding the students as we settled into the city. On our cultural excursions, the teachers were knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Cartagena and made excellent instructors. It was a great experience."
Tara Ahmed, US
"I went to the school in Cartagena for a Spanish refresher course. My teacher was excellent -- she was encouraging and patient. She challenged me to go further with my studies and we learned a lot of Spanish in a span of a week. Since then, my Spanish skills significantly improved and I have my teacher to thank for! In addition, despite of what you read about Colombia in the papers, Cartagena is a safe city. It is also a history-filled, beautiful city by the Caribbean coast. It is truly worth the trip and the study!" Cookie Domingo, US
