Centro Catalina Spanish School Medellín

Centro Catalina's Medellín campus opened in 2016 inside a traditional house of more than 700 square metres in the El Poblado neighbourhood, about five minutes on foot from Parque Lleras and Poblado Park.

Studying at Centro Catalina Spanish School Medellín

The school also teaches in Cartagena. Students considering a stay in both cities can check how their course level carries across the two campuses. Course formats include a 20-lesson Standard course, an Intensive option, Bildungsurlaub blocks, two Combined formats adding five or ten supplementary lessons per week, a cultural immersion track called Spanish and Colombian Lifestyle, and DELE exam preparation. The building has its own garden where students gather for informal practice and social events. Cultural workshops, conversation circles, and language exchanges complement the classroom program throughout the week.

Choosing a course in El Poblado

The combined programmes are particularly useful to compare with the standard course. Both keep the general language component, but the additional lessons give a learner room to concentrate on a specific goal. A student preparing for a Spanish diploma can instead look at the dedicated DELE preparation. Someone more interested in using the language around Medellín can compare those formats with the Colombian lifestyle programme and the opportunities to practise after class.
