Our Story

Elefun began its journey in 2017, sparked by the vision of its founder, Nathaly Soto. With a background in linguistics and philology from the University of Antioquia, Nathaly had a deep understanding of the challenges international students face while trying to navigate a new language and culture.

Her passion for languages was cultivated during her own experiences as an international student, particularly in Alaska, where she immersed herself in an entirely new world. This experience shaped her desire to create a supportive community back in Colombia, where international students could feel at home while studying the Spanish language.

Drawing on her expertise and personal journey, Nathaly assembled a team of professionals in languages, philology, and communications to establish Elefun. Since its inception, Elefun has been dedicated to not only teaching Spanish, but also providing a warm and welcoming environment that nurtures personal growth and cultural exchange.

The Elephant

Our elephant logo embodies our core values of family, memory, resilience, and travel, with a female matriarch symbolizing the backbone of our community. We take great pride in knowing that we are the only school in Medellín both created and directed by a female born and raised in our country. Our 100% Colombian team is composed of 80% women, all with ELE training, emphasizing the vital role women play in our school and society at large.

Just as elephants are known for their strong family bonds, exceptional memory, and teamwork mentality, we are committed to preserving our heritage, overcoming challenges, and embarking on adventures together as a united family.
