About international schools in Mexico
Catholic international schools in Mexico combine a formal Catholic identity and pastoral life with the same bilingual and international academic programmes you find elsewhere in the country; many are run as part of established Catholic networks or religious congregations. Schools commonly teach in Spanish and English (some offer a third language) and typically pair the Mexican Secretaría de Educación Pública (SEP) framework with an international programme such as the International Baccalaureate, Cambridge International or Advanced Placement. Fees vary widely by city and programme: in Mexico City internationally oriented Catholic schools often sit at the higher end of the market, while smaller bilingual Catholic schools outside major urban centres are much cheaper. The Mexican academic year follows the SEP calendar (roughly late August/early September to June/July), and families should expect a formal admissions cycle for August entry - start enquiries 6 - 9 months ahead - and to submit documents, pay a registration deposit and complete language or entrance assessments as part of the process.
