It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
Founded in 1979 by a group of German and Swiss families living in Guadalajara. In 2009, the German government designated the school as an Exzellente Deutsche Auslandsschule (German School of Excellence), a status reaffirmed on October 3, 2014 after inspection by the German Ministry of Education. The school's founding was driven by the enthusiasm and effort of parents seeking a better educational option for their children, not by waves of German migration. At that time, about 200 families spoke German at home, and many had learned German at Colegio Humboldt in Mexico City before relocating to Guadalajara.
We are a Mexican-German, trilingual and secular school oriented toward excellence, offering an internationally certified education. The community fosters universal values such as respect, diversity, discipline, tolerance, and honesty, promotes fair play and teamwork, and develops a social, ecological, and participatory civic consciousness. Spanish, German, and English are central to our teaching. Our graduates are successful in personal, social, and professional spheres.
The Colegio Alemán de Guadalajara is a Mexican–German, trilingual and secular school serving students from kindergarten through Bachillerato. The curriculum combines a bespoke program with the International Baccalaureate (IB DP) for Grades 10–12, and it includes Cambridge certificates and DSD I/II language qualifications. German is a core language across the curriculum, with formal language instruction, and English is introduced in Grade 5. The school emphasizes German-language and bilingual education within a 15‑year educational project and maintains links to the Network of German Schools Abroad (Deutsche Auslandsschulen). Facilities include a library, a health service with two nurses and a full‑time paramedic, and a swimming pool. Extracurriculars include robotics programs such as MakeX and Robomatrix Jr., Model United Nations events (ALEMUN, HumboldtMUN), theatre and music performances, school exchanges, and leadership and service activities. The campus promotes community involvement through the Parents Association and a safe, collaborative learning environment for international families worldwide.
