"The British School of Bogotá is widely regarded as one of the best international and bilingual schools in Colombia.

The school is based upon a strong foundation of teaching and learning, complemented by a focus on social-emotional development and experiential learning," said one expat in with children at .
"Your child would be in good hands at this school. No specific advice. There's not a strong Spanish as a second language program at all though, so this would have to be arranged. Most classes are in English although at the HS level there are several teachers who teach in Spanish," remarked one parent with kids at Colegio Bolivar in Cali.
