British Schools in Mexico City
Hello,
I just arrive to Mexico city and I am looking for British International schools. I have read that Greengates is a wonderful school, but it is located in the northern part of the city, this creates a huge problem for me as I will be working in the South of the city. Does anyone knows a good British International school in this area? have heard that Edron Academy is one of the best as most of the teachers are coming from UK and they do have intensive english lessons.
The schools that so far I have visited are bilinguals schools but their english language is not as strong as the Edron.
Any comments please that can help me decide?
Many thanks.

That said, I would like to mention that as a brit, moving to the american school meant I lost a bit of my accent. I now sound a bit more international however, I pick it up again quickly whenever I'm back in the UK. The school is an international one and the english teachers have to respect your children spelling the british way instead of the american. They did with both my sister and me and my brother is now in the highschool and is not having any trouble with it. The school has incredibly grounds, including tennis courts and a pool and the teachers, while mostly american, do include teachers from around the world. I had a German teacher for world history and an English teacher for Chemistry. Also, the language teachers tend to be from abroad. While the school is expensive they give needs based scholarships. Unfortunately you do have to pay the initial inscription in full before you find out how much you will be getting. But I have never ever heard of anyone being turned down.
If you wish to get in touch with me my email is
Best of luck, Anna.
