History
The Swiss community formed Club Deportivo Suizo during the Mexican Revolution, formalized in 1941 with over 250 members (50% Swiss, 50% Mexican) at the corner of San Borja and Nicolás San Juan. Children from this community attended Colegio Alemán Alexander von Humboldt in Tacubaya. In 1964, with backing from the Swiss Embassy, the Colegio Suizo de México, A.C. was founded, starting with 135 students from kindergarten to early primary and operating in a rented house on Avenida Eugenia. A land donation enabled the CDMX campus to open in 1971, followed by Cuernavaca in 1992 and Querétaro in 2007. The school teaches German, Spanish, English, French, and Mandarin Chinese; emphasizes reasoning and autonomous learning; has offered the IB program since 2010 with 100% Diploma attainment last year; hosts annual cultural events such as Laternenfest, Fastnacht, Schwimmfest, Sportag, and the Christmas Bazaar; and is part of a global network of 17 Swiss schools abroad, including 3 in Mexico.
