The school is a non-profit civil association. The General Assembly of Associates, the highest authority, elects seven members (all parents of enrolled students) to form the Board of Directors. The Assembly also appoints members of the Honor and Oversight Commission to monitor the school's proper functioning and adherence to its original mission.
La Escuela de Lancaster is a bicultural, non-profit school with two campuses in Mexico City: Plantel Rey Yupanqui (Preescolar-Primaria) and Plantel Diligencias (Secundaria-Bachillerato). Founded in 1979 to blend Mexican and British traditions, it serves students aged 3 to 18. The curriculum combines international frameworks with local requirements. The International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP) anchors learning in the primary years, with English taught alongside drama, art, computing, sports, music, and Spanish within SEP alignment. In secondary, the programme blends SEP with Cambridge IGCSE and offers the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB DP). The IMYC supports the transition between PYP and IGCSE. The UNAM CCH pathway yields a UNAM certificate. The four pillars are biculturalidad, comunidad, pensamiento crítico, and formación integral. Notable programs include LankySports, Fulcrum arts publishing, Chess, Acción Social with Club de San Andrés and the Sustainability Committee, and a strong commitment to inclusive education and social responsibility today.
