The school requires the uniform. Students must wear the full uniform or a white T-shirt with blue pants and carry the school ID. On Mondays, students wear white clothing or the uniform for flag-raising, and clothing should be comfortable and appropriate for school; tops and shorts that are not appropriate, pajamas (unless allowed for a special activity), and clothing in poor condition are not permitted.
The school is a private institution and has not changed ownership since 1986 when it moved to its current location.
Escuela Lomas Altas is an IB World School in Mexico offering the Primary Years Programme for Preschool and Primary. The curriculum is inquiry-based and organized around Units of Inquiry, with total immersion in English and Spanish—roughly half of the content in each language. The school maintains a 1:6 teacher–student ratio to enable individualized attention, and sixth graders graduate bilingual in English and Spanish, prepared to continue in the junior high of their choice. Preschool and Primary curricula are incorporated into SEP (Secretaría de Educación Pública). Founded in 1976, the campus emphasizes multilingual engagement and cross-cultural understanding, supported by a library of about 15,000 volumes in English and Spanish. The outdoor facilities include a hard-surface basketball court and a play area. Extracurriculars span sports (basketball, football, handball), drama, music, chess, robotics and Stop Motion. The Sanderson Academy Exchange Programme and UNESCO International Mother Tongue Day reflect the school's global outlook.
