In brief
A bilingual IB and Cambridge school under the Anglo Mexican Foundation, running ages 2 to 18 across the school and college divisions in southwest Mexico City. Authorised for all three IB programmes plus Cambridge International Examinations, which is unusual breadth for the local market.
Founded in 1998 with the main campus in the Guadalupe Inn area of Alvaro Obregon. Around 1,150 students, with English-Spanish bilingual instruction and a Mexican-international tilt rather than a clear expat orientation.
Parent voice is mixed. Families who connect with the IB philosophy and the small community describe a tight, multicultural environment; others raise concerns about resourcing and communication. The strongest fit is a south-of-Reforma family who wants the IB-plus-Cambridge dual track in a smaller setting than ASF or Greengates.
