International Schools in Barranquilla, Colombia

Barranquilla’s international and bilingual schools tend to cluster in the city’s northern districts and serve a mix of local and expatriate families, offering programmes that combine Colombian requirements with international diplomas. Parents will commonly find schools authorised for International Baccalaureate programmes and schools teaching Cambridge or US-style syllabuses, with instruction mostly split between Spanish and English and - at some schools - additional German or French. Annual tuition varies by age and programme but typically sits in the low-to-high tens of millions of Colombian pesos, with separate enrolment (matrícula), transport and materials fees. Admissions follow the Colombian school-year rhythm and usually require a visit, assessment or interview plus payment of an annual matriculation charge, so families should contact schools several months before their intended start date to confirm exact deadlines and requirements.
