International Curriculum International Schools in Mexico City, Mexico

Mexico City’s international-curriculum schools form a large, diverse private sector that commonly offers the International Baccalaureate, British (Cambridge/IGCSE and sometimes A-level) and US-style programmes, as well as Mexican bilingual models that combine SEP requirements with an international complement. English is the dominant medium in most of these schools, with Spanish taught alongside and a number that also offer French, German or Mandarin as additional languages. Annual tuition for international schools in the city typically sits in the mid-hundreds of thousands of pesos, though there is a broad spread and more-established campuses can charge substantially more; additional charges for enrolment, transport and activities are also common. Schools are concentrated in the west and northwest corridors (Polanco, Lomas, Bosques, Santa Fe and nearby suburbs), run rolling admissions with the main intake around the August/September school year, and expect relocating families to apply several months ahead.
