Languages taught are English and Spanish. Preschool uses English as the language of instruction, complemented by Spanish; Primary maintains a bilingual approach. The program aligns with SEP expectations and the IB framework, and graduates from Grade 6 have fluency in English and Spanish.
Preschool uses total immersion into English to build bilingualism for Spanish speakers. The Primary program is bilingual, with instruction split half in English and half in Spanish. Our sixth graders graduate equipped with fluency and competency in both English and Spanish.
Total immersion into English is the foundation of the Preschool program. In Primary, instruction is taught half in English and half in Spanish, with Units of Inquiry guiding the curriculum under the International Baccalaureate World School framework. A language specialist is available from Grades 1–4 to facilitate the transition of international students into the bilingual program.
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.
