Preschool is provided in a bilingual environment that encourages students to develop an international mindset while nurturing their national identity. Primary education uses a 100% bilingual model that supports English language mastery. The school is IB-accredited and implements the Primary Years Programme in the primary grades. English and Spanish teachers teach all disciplines, reinforcing bilingual, cross-curricular instruction.
English immersion is a core feature across the school, supporting language development in an English-dominant environment. The bilingual approach means both English- and Spanish-speaking teachers teach all disciplines in the classroom. The school's IB accreditation underpins inquiry-based learning across preschool through high school.
Founded in 1976, the British American School operates two campuses in Mexico City and Puerto Vallarta, serving students aged 2 to 18. The curriculum blends the International Baccalaureate (IB) framework with a bespoke program that integrates SEP and UNAM curricula from preschool through high school.

Learning is bilingual, delivered through project-based experiences across levels. The high school pathway features an IB-endorsed entrepreneurship program and internationally recognized certifications such as TOEFL and DELF, supported by digital tools. The school maintains university partnerships and scholarships with Universidad Anáhuac and UPAEP. Distinctive programs include Basmun, a diplomacy and leadership development initiative, and strong language offerings with French and Spanish. After-school activities span sports, robotics, arts, cooking, and chess, alongside clubs in finance, coding, and entrepreneurship for a well-rounded international education.
