An English as a foreign language program with bicultural activities is complemented by an English language lab that develops speaking, listening, reading, and writing through multimedia tools, iPad-based E Blocks, and a Mimio interactive board. Primary education in Spanish follows the subjects defined by the Secretaría de Educación and develops competencies through projects for grades 1 through 6; the school is part of the UNO International System network with alliances including Apple, Discovery, Animal Planet, and the Institute of Research and Educational Innovation. The primary program uses digital, wireless classrooms, with students using an iPad for Spanish sequences and another for English apps, and integrates mind maps, brain gym, NLP, and classroom music, with Google Classroom and EasyMailing for parent communication; a Music Room hosts regular student performances. In primary English, the program is built on the Power Up series, preparing students for Cambridge certificates (Starters in 3rd grade, Movers in 4th grade, and KET in 6th) within a Cambridge English School framework; there is an alliance with International House Mexico for teacher development and continuous, four-skill assessment, plus a Science English EClub that uses virtual reality to study science in English.
