American Curriculum International Schools in Colombia

American-curriculum international schools in Colombia are concentrated in major cities (notably Bogotá and Medellín) and typically offer a US-style high-school diploma often paired with Advanced Placement (AP) courses or a dual Colombian diploma; many schools are explicitly bilingual, teaching core subjects in English while maintaining strong Spanish instruction and local curriculum compliance. Annual published tuition in directory listings commonly sits in the broad band of roughly COP 19 - 53 million, with some Bogotá schools publishing fees in the region of US$12,000 - 15,000 for secondary grades; exact charges and what they include vary widely by school. Admissions are usually organised around the main school intake (schools following a Northern-hemisphere calendar admit in August/September, with other intakes in January and rolling places used where available), and schools commonly require recent school reports, passport/ID, immunisation records and an English placement or entry assessment for newcomers. Families relocating to Colombia should check each school’s accreditation, which international schools often hold through recognised US/ international accreditors, and confirm whether the school issues a US-style diploma, a Colombian bachillerato or both before committing to enrolment.
