Who we are The founders of Centro Catalina are Swiss-Colombian nationals wishing to promote language exchange in Colombia. The Swiss-Colombian founders of Centro Catalina, impressed with the riches and beauty of Colombia, decided to open a Spanish school in Cartagena to promote language exchange in this wonderful country, which is still badly known. The founders are graduates in foreign languages from the University of Geneva. They are seriously committed to offer high quality teaching with the best study methods and materials for ELE (Español como Lengua Extranjera). The Team Our Spanish teachers are all from Colombia and very dynamic, motivated, and professional. The Centro Catalina team is well prepared to offer students a high quality service and Spanish educational program. The teachers are very qualified, motivated, and experienced. We choose our Spanish teachers not only on the basis of their university studies, but also on the basis of their personality. There are often meetings between founders and teachers to share experiences and optimize our methodology. This way we offer our students the maximum of our knowledge during classes.
