    We are the largest private English language school in Tunja, Colombia (located about 2 hours north of Bogota). Our students range from very young children just starting to learn English to seasoned professionals wishing to brush up their English skills. One of our key teaching objectives is to have all of our students interact with teachers from different parts of the world so that they can also learn about different cultures while learning English.

    We provide accommodation and electricity, hot water, Wifi, Kitchen, gas, laptops and house facilities, and one daily lunch Monday to Saturday.
