In Brief
The only school in Mexico City to offer the complete IB continuum from age 2 through to IB Diploma alongside Cambridge IGCSE, at fees significantly below Greengates or Wingate. Worth a close look for IB-track families in the south or west of the city - but ask about staff continuity when you visit.
Churchill School & College is one of very few schools in Latin America offering IB PYP, MYP and Diploma as a continuous programme, and claims to teach more IB subjects than any other school in Mexico. Founded in 1998 and part of The Anglo Mexican Foundation (LAHC), it runs two campuses: the main Preschool-Secondary school in Guadalupe Inn (Álvaro Obregón) and a separate College campus in Coyoacán for the Bachillerato (IGCSE and IB Diploma years). It is a UNESCO Associated School with around 1,150 students aged 2 to 18. Principal Teresa Guevara leads the school.
The IB-Cambridge combination is the school's strongest card. Classes run 50-80% in English throughout - genuinely bilingual rather than Spanish-dominant with English bolted on. Published fee data from third-party sources puts annual tuition at MXN 112,270 for Maternal through MXN 253,450 for the final Secundaria year, with a separate College tuition structure; a new-family fee (MXN 25,000), entry inscription (MXN 21,131) and admission exam (MXN 1,850) apply. The school does not operate a bus service - an unusual gap for a school of this size, and one that effectively limits the catchment to families with their own transport or who live close to Álvaro Obregón.
Staff continuity is worth raising directly when you visit. Community feedback over time points to more movement than you might expect at a school of this standing, and it's a reasonable question to ask any school of this size. Current parent reviews are broadly positive on the academic programme and the IB delivery. For families already in Álvaro Obregón, Coyoacán or nearby areas, Churchill offers a genuine IB continuum at a more accessible price than Greengates or Wingate, with the trade-off of no bus service and the need to factor in the two-campus structure at College level.
What parents value
- –Full IB continuum (PYP, MYP, Diploma) plus Cambridge IGCSE, making it one of the most complete IB pathways in Mexico City. UNESCO Associated School. Published fee structure available via third-party sources.
- –50-80% English instruction throughout - genuinely bilingual rather than surface-level. IB-track preparation from age 2. International families section on the admissions page suggests active welcome of mobile families.
Points of consideration
- –No school bus service - families need private transport. The two-campus structure (School in Guadalupe Inn, College in Coyoacán) means a campus change at Bachillerato level, which is worth factoring into school-run logistics.
- –Staff continuity is worth asking about when you visit. The College fee structure for IGCSE and IB years is substantially lower than the main school - confirm exactly what is and isn't included before comparing with other schools.

Extra Curriculars
Facilities: Sports courts · Science labs · Art rooms · Library · Cafeteria
Churchill runs an after-school programme (Actividades Extraescolares) covering sport, arts and enrichment. The IB CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service) component is embedded in the Diploma years. Festivals and family activities are a regular part of school life.
There is no school bus service, which is unusual for a school of this size in Mexico City and effectively limits the catchment area. Families need their own transport or must live within reach of the Guadalupe Inn or Coyoacán campuses. Uniform is required.
