About international schools in Mexico
Many schools described as “international” in Mexico combine the national Secretaría de Educación Pública (SEP) requirements with an international track, so families commonly find dual programmes that teach Mexican subjects alongside IB, US-style or British syllabuses. Spanish - English bilingual instruction is by far the most common model, with schools varying in how much of the day is taught in each language. Annual fees at the lower end of the international market in Mexico typically sit in the mid-five to mid-six-figure Mexican peso band (roughly US$5,000 - US$20,000 a year, depending on age and city), though published prices and what they cover vary widely so you should request current fee schedules. The school year conventionally begins in late July or August and admission timetables differ by campus, so expect a mix of fixed deadlines and rolling places and confirm SEP registration and any external accreditation before you commit.
