In 1899, British educator Camilo J. Williams founded one of the first bicultural schools in Mexico City. By 1950, there were three Williams schools in that city, all run by Williams' sons, inheriting his tradition, wisdom, and educational vocation. In 1976, Alejandro Williams Rivas established Colegio Williams de Cuernavaca, choosing this city for its excellent climate, good location, and educational demand. In 1989, Alfonso García Williams, nephew of Professor Alejandro, joined as founder director of the high school and later served as Deputy Director and Director of the school. In 2006, after his father's death, Alejandro Williams Álvarez joined and, together with his sisters Karla and Luisa, continued leading the school as the fourth Williams generation. Today, Colegio Williams de Cuernavaca defines itself as a Mexican and international school, with an emphasis on language development and a socio-environmental and personal dimension achieved through perseverance and dedication.
