Application / Registration fee
- Registration (inscripción): MXN 10,000 (one-time, charged at enrollment).
Tuition fees by school level (per month and annual illustration)
- Nursery / Maternal / Guardería: Monthly tuition MXN 8,450; registration MXN 10,000; approximate additional fees reported MXN 350 (where applicable). Annual cost calculated from monthly rate is consistent with the school's published level listings.
- Secondary (Secundaria): Monthly tuition MXN 12,410; registration MXN 10,000; approximate additional fees MXN 350. Reported annual cost example for secundaria: MXN 165,470 (annual total as shown by the same fee compilation source).
- High School / Preparatoria (Bachillerato): Monthly tuition MXN 14,456; registration MXN 10,000; approximate additional fees MXN 350 (where applicable).
Billing schedule and payment terms
- The publicly available fee summaries list registration as a one-time enrollment charge and state monthly tuition amounts by level. Specific published billing schedules (for example: exact invoice dates, whether tuition is billed monthly, by term, or annually, penalties for late payment, or available discounts for full-year prepayment) are not published in the sources consulted. Parents are typically charged the registration fee at enrollment and the tuition amount on a regular schedule consistent with the monthly figures above.
Boarding / Residential fees
- Boarding is not applicable; Atid operates as a day school (Preschool through High School) with no residential/boarding program listed in the school's public descriptions of its levels and programs.
Other costs and recurring extras
- Meal service (comedor / food): available as an additional paid service; costs are charged separately from base tuition.
- School insurance: listed as an additional cost in fee summaries.
- Uniforms and school supplies: families should expect separate charges for uniforms and school supplies; specific uniform prices are not published in the referenced fee listings.
- Extracurricular activities / after-school programs: may carry their own fees in addition to tuition.
Refund information
- No publicly posted, itemized refund policy (for registration, tuition prepayments, or withdrawal) was found in the consulted public fee summaries and admissions material. Specific terms for refunds, tuition adjustments on mid-term withdrawals, and related administrative refunds are not published in the available sources.
Fee payment options
- Specific payment methods accepted (for example: credit card, bank transfer, direct debit, or in-person payments) are not detailed in the publicly available fee summaries or admissions pages consulted. Typical practice at comparable private schools is to offer bank transfer and card payment options, but no definitive, published list of accepted payment methods for Atid was found in the sources reviewed.
Academic year and source note
- The numeric fee figures above derive from the most recent publicly compiled fee summaries located during the review; those summaries were compiled externally and reflect published monthly tuition and registration figures. The school's own admissions pages list grade levels and contact details but do not publish a full, itemized fee schedule and billing terms online. Because a current, school-published 2026/27 or 2025/26 official fee schedule was not available in the public materials consulted, the amounts above reflect the most recently available public fee data compiled for the institution.
If you require these numbers displayed in a specific format for your database, they are provided above in MXN amounts as published in the available public fee summaries.

Curriculum details
Curriculum details
Offers the International Baccalaureate (IB) continuum with four programs: Primary Years Program (PYP), Middle Years Program (MYP), Diploma Program (DP), and Career-related Program (CP). Language of instruction is English and Spanish; Hebrew is the language of identity. The school emphasizes a Judeo-Zionist identity.
Curriculum details
The International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP) provides the core framework for the Lancaster curriculum at the primary and preschool level. English is used in classes alongside drama, art, computing, sports, music, Spanish, and mathematics within the SEP framework and the IB programme. The PYP uses six units of inquiry per grade level across transdisciplinary themes, and the Lancaster Programme of Inquiry is designed through collaboration with the school community. In secondary, the curriculum blends the SEP requirements with the Cambridge IGCSE for ages 14–16 and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB DP). The International Middle Years Curriculum (IMYC) is used as a transition between the PYP and IGCSE for 11–14 year olds, and the UNAM CCH pathway yields a UNAM certificate on completion. The four educational pillars are biculturalism, community, critical thinking, and holistic formation.
