About the school

Founded in 2003, Nueva Lengua is a Spanish school network with its Cartagena campus located in the historic Getsemaní neighbourhood, in a restored colonial-style building near the Plaza de la Trinidad and the city's iconic Clock Tower. The school has operated across three Colombian cities and has enrolled students from close to a hundred countries over its history.

Specialist Spanish in Getsemaní

The Cartagena campus houses six classrooms, all with natural light, as well as a rooftop terrace with views across the historic city, a secondary terrace with a pergola used for dance classes, and a swimming pool. Group classes are capped at eight students. Intensive study combines twenty hours of classroom instruction per week, Monday to Friday mornings, with structured cultural activities in the afternoons.

Course specialisations extend well beyond general Spanish: students may enrol in combined tracks pairing language instruction with volunteering placements, art workshops, sports activities or professional-context modules including Business Spanish and Medical Spanish. SIELE examination preparation is available as an additional or standalone option. Private instruction is offered for students with specific objectives or scheduling needs. A student residence operates within the same building, with single en-suite rooms providing an integrated study-and-accommodation experience in the heart of historic Cartagena.

Callejón Ancho in Getsemaní is the classroom address. A programme involving volunteering, sport or art may also use other locations during the week.
