Introduction

Colégio Humboldt Puebla is a bicultural German–Mexican school for ages 0 to 18 that participates in the German Auslandsschulnetz. The curriculum blends a German-based program with a bespoke local curriculum and a tri-lingual approach to Spanish, German, and English. In Primary, German is the first foreign language, and Mathematics and Science are taught in German; English becomes the second foreign language in grade three. The school weaves Mexican customs with German-European traditions, supported by German-speaking teachers who reinforce immersion. For students entering Primary with no German knowledge, leveling classes in small groups provide a one-year transition to full participation. The campus offers extensive after‑school workshops in music, theatre, arts, and sports, plus dedicated sports academies. Facilities include a large athletics complex, modern science laboratories, a new Kindergarten/Primary area, and, in 2024, padel and pickleball courts. CEPAL supports pedagogical training, and intercultural exchanges with Germany enrich language skills and cultural understanding.
