The first step
is meeting us.
We want you to come, see the classrooms, talk to the team and ask everything you need. We will talk about the rest afterwards.
Come see the school from the inside.
We host in-person meetings where we tell you how we work: the academics, the administration, our methodology and the values that hold us together. It is the best way to know if we are the place for your family.
This is the path, step by step.
Meet us at an Andes Day
Sign up for our next open encounter (August 25) and get to know the school, the leadership team and our educational project. You can also start with the online form.
Get your application form
At the encounter (or online) you purchase the admission form, fill in the applicant's information and receive the dates of your process.
Hand in the documents
Gather the applicant's folder (civil registry or ID, report cards, certificates). We give you the full checklist and several steps are digital.
Admission test and interview
The student takes the academic assessment and parents attend the interview — same day, one single visit.
Enrollment confirmation
If the result is positive, the school counseling team meets you to hand over the authorization and formalize enrollment for 2027.
Admissions information session
Tour the campuses, meet the team and ask everything you need in person. Limited spots.
Have these ready.
Nothing unusual, and you already have most of it. We grouped them by where you get them so you only make one trip.

If English worries you, breathe.
It is the question we get the most. The answer: nobody is thrown in without a float. Every stage has its own support.
Levelling course in January
Before classes start, so they arrive on day one with their English ready. It is not optional and it is not a punishment: it is part of joining.
Reading and writing support
When we see it is needed, our youngest get support with reading and writing. Nobody falls behind for starting differently.
Nobody is late to their own pace.
No stress. No surprises.
The eleven questions we get the most. If yours is not here, write to us and we answer the same day.
01Can I visit the school before deciding?
Always. In fact, it is what we recommend most. We host in-person sessions where we explain how we work and you get every question answered face to face.
02What if my child does not speak English?
Not a problem. Students joining Elementary and High School take a levelling course in January, before classes start. And our youngest in K5 and 1st grade get reading and writing support when we see it is needed.
03What English certification do they get?
We are a Cambridge English School, one of only 31 schools in Colombia with that recognition. Our stated goal is for every student to graduate with a Cambridge C1 certification.
04How long have you been bilingual?
Since 2020. The school opened in 1997 and the bilingual project was consolidated in 2020, along with the Cambridge certification.
05What are the school hours?
Preschool from 7:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Primary and high school from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
06Is there school transport?
Yes, we have school transport. At the information session we go through the routes we cover and how it works for your area.
07What are the meal options?
We have a restaurant, a school shop and the option of a packed lunch from home. The menu is supervised and balanced.
08Are there extracurricular activities?
Yes: dance and performing arts, chess, ballet, music, visual arts, martial arts, digital marketing, English and football.
09What if my child needs extra support?
We have school guidance, psychology and a parents school. Every student has a team behind them, not just a teacher in front.
10Where are the campuses?
All three are in Castilla, Kennedy: the main campus, the preschool one and the high school one. Each stage has its own space.
11How do I ask about fees?
Fill in the form and our admissions team shares all the information on fees, along with the dates and next steps.
Let's start by getting to know each other.
Tell us about your family and our admissions team will contact you to walk you through the process, answer your questions and share the tuition information.
Thank you! We have your information.
Our admissions team will contact you within the next 24 business hours. If you prefer to talk now, message us on WhatsApp.
