Introduction

Founded in 1976, the British American School operates two campuses in Mexico City and Puerto Vallarta, serving students aged 2 to 18. The curriculum blends the International Baccalaureate (IB) framework with a bespoke program that integrates SEP and UNAM curricula from preschool through high school. The school uses a constructivist and humanist approach and employs inquiry-based, transdisciplinary units that weave together critical thinking, art, technology, and global exploration. Learning is bilingual, delivered through project-based experiences across levels. The high school pathway features an IB-endorsed entrepreneurship program and internationally recognized certifications such as TOEFL and DELF, supported by digital tools. The school maintains university partnerships and scholarships with Universidad Anáhuac and UPAEP. Distinctive programs include Basmun, a diplomacy and leadership development initiative, and strong language offerings with French and Spanish. After-school activities span sports, robotics, arts, cooking, and chess, alongside clubs in finance, coding, and entrepreneurship for a well-rounded international education.

Admissions

Begin the admission process by completing and submitting the Student Admission Application Form.

After submission, the admissions team will guide the next steps in the process. The form is part of the initial enrollment process.

Schedule an interview with one of our admissions staff members. The interview allows staff to assess fit and answer questions. Families should use this opportunity to learn about the program and expectations. The interview is a key step in the admission process.

Schedule the admission tests and observation, which consist of two days at our school. The assessments evaluate readiness for the bilingual IB environment and give the staff a sense of student needs. The two-day observation helps staff understand how the student engages in on-site activities. Plan for on-site days as part of the process.

Pay the admission test fee of MXN 1,100.00 with a credit or debit card, or via bank transfer. Payment confirms testing and observation schedules. Keep the payment receipt for your records. Incomplete payments may delay testing.
