On September 11, 1981, Dr. Eduardo Macedas Santos oversaw the incorporation of Liceo Anglo France9s Monterrey, A.C. into the state education system, with founding General Director Henriette Jarjanette Saletzki, who led LAF until March 15, 1988. LAF began with three educational levels: Kindergarten, Elementary and Jr. High, serving 123 students and offering Nursery through Ninth Grade with instruction in English, French and Spanish. As of 1994, the English curriculum was modified and 70% of classes are taught in English. In 2013, the English Program was aligned with U.S. educational standards, improving the English level and enabling measurement of learning according to international standards. LAF graduates independent, self-confident and committed leaders who work as a team and are sensitive to the needs of the community and their environment.
The LAF community strives to form integral, innovative, enterprising leaders in an international environment using avant-garde teaching methodologies, as well as academic and extracurricular programs that focus on establishing a platform for high-level college performance. The school seeks to consolidate a vibrant educational community where learning is a continuous and enriching process, based on collaboration, respect, and the pursuit of truth. Communication, teamwork, creativity, the use of technology, and social responsibility are key to success in the 21st century. The school provides a safe environment where all students can express themselves, respect others, and get along with their peers.
