FAQs
52 international schools in Mexico offer learning or behaviour support above a basic level: 52 provide learning support and 12 provide behaviour support, with 5 offering specialist-level provision in at least one area.
Learning support covers day-to-day academic help for children with additional learning needs — think dyslexia, dyscalculia or a learning-support unit. Behaviour support covers social, emotional and behavioural needs, including pastoral and specialist staff. doris rates each separately because a school can be strong on one and light on the other.
doris uses a five-point scale. 'Basic' means light in-class differentiation; 'Moderate' means a dedicated learning-support offer; 'Advanced' means specialist staff and structured programmes; 'Specialist' means substantial, often standalone provision. Schools rated 'None' don't appear on this page.
Not on its own. The right school depends on your child's specific needs, the fit with staff, class sizes and the exact provision on offer. Use this page to build a shortlist, then talk to each school's SEN coordinator (SENCO) before deciding. doris is impartial and takes no placement fees.
