Billing schedule and payment terms - The publicly available fee summaries list registration as a one-time enrollment charge and state monthly tuition amounts by level. Specific published billing schedules (for example: exact invoice dates, whether tuition is billed monthly, by term, or annually, penalties for late payment, or available discounts for full-year prepayment) are not published in the sources consulted. Parents are typically charged the registration fee at enrollment and the tuition amount on a regular schedule consistent with the monthly figures above. Boarding / Residential fees - Boarding is not applicable; Atid operates as a day school (Preschool through High School) with no residential/boarding program listed in the school's public descriptions of its levels and programs. Other costs and recurring extras - Meal service (comedor / food): available as an additional paid service; costs are charged separately from base tuition. - School insurance: listed as an additional cost in fee summaries. - Uniforms and school supplies: families should expect separate charges for uniforms and school supplies; specific uniform prices are not published in the referenced fee listings. - Extracurricular activities / after-school programs: may carry their own fees in addition to tuition. Refund information - No publicly posted, itemized refund policy (for registration, tuition prepayments, or withdrawal) was found in the consulted public fee summaries and admissions material. Specific terms for refunds, tuition adjustments on mid-term withdrawals, and related administrative refunds are not published in the available sources. Fee payment options - Specific payment methods accepted (for example: credit card, bank transfer, direct debit, or in-person payments) are not detailed in the publicly available fee summaries or admissions pages consulted. Typical practice at comparable private schools is to offer bank transfer and card payment options, but no definitive, published list of accepted payment methods for Atid was found in the sources reviewed. Academic year and source note - The numeric fee figures above derive from the most recent publicly compiled fee summaries located during the review; those summaries were compiled externally and reflect published monthly tuition and registration figures. The school's own admissions pages list grade levels and contact details but do not publish a full, itemized fee schedule and billing terms online. Because a current, school-published 2026/27 or 2025/26 official fee schedule was not available in the public materials consulted, the amounts above reflect the most recently available public fee data compiled for the institution. If you require these numbers displayed in a specific format for your database, they are provided above in MXN amounts as published in the available public fee summaries. | Fee details Ciclo Escolar 2025–2026 — Cuotas y colegiaturas Plan de pago y opciones generales - La escuela ofrece dos planes de pago: Plan 11 meses (once pagos anuales, con una cuota doble en diciembre que incluye la colegiatura correspondiente a julio) y Plan 10 meses (pagos prorrateados de agosto a mayo).

It promotes an international education with trilingualism: Spanish as the home language, English as a second language (instruction in both), and Hebrew as the language of identity. | History The Lancaster School was founded in 1979 by a small group of parents who sought to offer their children a truly bicultural education, combining Mexican and British systems. It is organized as a non‑profit civil association in which parents participate as Associates; the General Assembly, the highest authority, elects seven members to form the Board of Directors. The school opened in September 1979 in a house at Plaza de la Constitución No. 1 in Tlalpan, with about 40 students and four teachers. On May 14, 1982, it was recognized as bicultural through an agreement between the governments of Mexico and the United Kingdom. The curriculum evolved: Cambridge IGCSE replaced O levels in 1990; the IB Primary Years and Diploma Programs were introduced in 2007; IMYC joined in 2012; the school began an inclusive program for students with intellectual disabilities in 2002, and today serves over 20 students with disabilities from preschool to lower secondary; the school has expanded its bicultural and international orientation by hiring teachers from many countries, including Ireland, France, Germany, Spain, Denmark, Luxembourg, Romania, South Africa, Uganda, Pakistan, Peru, Guatemala, Colombia, Argentina, the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. |
