We offer an integrative educational program that prepares children according to their plane of development for the 21st century, by emphasizing understanding first and the details later.

Educational Approach

Montessori Method

International Baccalaureate Programme

Children’s House (Ages 3-6):
Preschool Year 1, 2 & 3. Montessori Method.

It is a prepared environment with the necessary space for boys and girls between the ages of 3 and 6, where they can have optimal emotional and cognitive development, both individually and socially. Here they have the opportunity to live meaningful learning experiences with materials and activities that awaken their natural desire to learn, with which they obtain a development of literacy, mathematics and cultural areas. The main characteristic of children of this age is, what Dr. Montessori has called the "absorbent mind", which is the ability to absorb the elements of culture and environment that are their own, without effort or fatigue, since it is made up of children of mixed ages, boys and girls, social and religious diversity.

Downtown Campus

The facilities will be located at the early childhood education level (Children’s House), situated in the Chamizal neighborhood.

In the Children's House, individual work is encouraged through the presentations of different areas, such as:

Practical life

Sensory

Math

Language

Lower & Upper Elementary (Ages 6-11):
Grades 1°, 2°, 3°, 4°, & 5°. Montessori Method.

The Montessori Lower and Upper Elementary environments meet the psychological needs of children of this age that consist of a reasoning mind and imaginative power, which gives them a natural aptitude for science and research. Discovering the world, putting it in the context of the society in which they live and understanding the way it works, is their main role. Projects done in small groups help develop their intellectual skills and give them resources for problem solving. Children develop a genuine desire to contribute to their society and the world.

North Campus

A campus with expansive spaces designed to explore various developmental areas, including physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, occupational, social, and environmental dimensions, located in Colonia San Bernabé.
