The worst years of my life. I was at this miserable school for five years.
1. Non-international education: There are no programs that extend to an international level. The IB, IGCSEs, or A levels are critical for admission to an international university. This school doesn't even make the slightest effort to push you to leave Catholic institutions (ANAHUAC), much less Mexico
2- Toxic Environment: Too much elitism, money, and your parents' relationships with the coordinators determined how the teachers treated you. There was a lot of bullying, a social hierarchy, and in my last years there, it escalated to physical violence against one of my classmates. The perpetrators were simply spoken to harshly; there were no suspensions or expulsions. They didn't know how to control the girls, who had been bullying them since they were 7 years old, discriminating against them, and making sh... read full review

Avoid this school:
1.- Toxic atmosphere: The school is very elitist and the overall vibe is one of materialism and appearance-keeping above everything else. Lots of bullying and favoritism toward wealthy kids.
Your wealth will determine your status within the community, and your kid will learn to think this way. I used to feel a lot of pressure to own expensive brands and show off how privileged I was.
2.- No international focus: English is barely used, and poorly taught. An international student would struggle unless they are fluent in Spanish. The institution does not adopt IB or any other international standard.

3.- Low Academic standar... read full review

Because the teachers are very bias, they don't treat students they don't like well, meaning there's so much favouritism and only favoured ones succeed. Catholicism is shoved in your face all the time, with extreme doctrines that mislead you, leading me to hate said religion. The hypocrisy is evident as well as there's nothing international abt this school. We speak in spanish all the time, with bad quality english teachers and little to no opportunity of thinking about a university outside of CDMX, let alone Mexico as a whole. The environment is toxic and bullies/ "mean girls" dominate the school, teachers can't control their classes. My years here have been the worst. No talk of international exams, like IB or IGCSE's, meaning no remote connection to the European Syllabus.
