History

Churchill School & College was established by The Anglo Foundation, a sustainable nonprofit organization that fosters educational and cultural exchange between Mexico and the United Kingdom. The Anglo Foundation's history dates back to 1943, when it founded the Anglo Mexican Institute of Culture A.C. to strengthen ties between Great Britain and Mexico through English language teaching, teacher training, and a wide range of cultural events. In 1998, The Anglo expanded to form Churchill School, a bicultural and forward‑looking school offering classes from maternal through the third year of secondary. In 2003, Churchill College opened to upper secondary education, preparing adolescents and young adults for professional careers with high standards. Today, Churchill School & College have more than 25 years delivering formal education that is more than bilingual, with an excellent academic program.
