The school was founded in 1899 by the British educator Camilo J. Williams, establishing one of the first bicultural schools in Mexico City. In 1950, there were three Williams schools in the city, all led by the sons of Professor Williams, inheriting his tradition, wisdom, and educational vocation. In 1976 Alejandro Williams Rivas established the Colegio Williams de Cuernavaca, choosing this city for its climate, location and educational demand, and today it defines itself as a Mexican and international school with an emphasis on language development and a socio-environmental and personal dimension.
Colegio Williams de Cuernavaca delivers the International Baccalaureate across all levels—PYP, MYP and DP—from Preschool through Preparatory. Instruction is given in Spanish, with English available from Pre-Kinder to Preparatory and French from 4th grade through Preparatory. The school is a Cambridge English Preparation Centre, certifying PET, FCE, CAE and CPE under MCER standards, and it also awards DELF certificates in French from Primary through Preparatory. A defining feature is inclusive education with 100% personalized instruction supported by a Learning Support Department that identifies strengths and barriers and tailors the program. International exchanges broaden students' global perspectives, and Multilingual opportunities are embedded through Intercambios Internacionales and Model UN experiences. The campus emphasizes language development and intercultural awareness, complemented by Extended Day activities in Arts and Sports and by a robust arts program. The school defines itself as Mexican and international, with a long-standing family leadership tradition guiding its mission today globally.
