In brief
A young British international school founded in 2016 by long-time Mexico-based educator Thomas Wingate, growing year by year into a full IB Diploma programme.
Wingate runs IPC at primary, IGCSEs in middle years, and the full IB Diploma at senior level, dual-accredited as a Cambridge International School and IB World School. Two locations cover the western corridor: Virreyes in Lomas de Chapultepec and the Huixquilucan campus serving the Interlomas area.
Founding families who joined in 2016 report children growing alongside the school and a tightly engaged staff. The admissions process is described as unusually thorough and personal, and the British Council named Wingate among the ten best international schools in Latin America in 2019. Smaller than Edron, with fewer alumni cohorts and extracurricular depth still maturing, so families joining now are part of a school that is still defining itself.
