WELCOME TO

THE EDRON ACADEMY

This is the
British International
School of Mexico

As a leading bilingual and multicultural school in Mexico City, The Edron Academy combines British academic prestige with a humanistic approach, teaching pupils how to think independently from the very start.

Why

The Edron Academy?

01

Did you know that we are the only truly British school in North America, being the only one accredited by the U.K. government? This means that our educational model meets the highest international quality standards, supervised by the Department for Education in the United Kingdom.

02

The Edron Academy is a proud member of COBIS (Council of British International Schools), an international organisation that brings together top-tier British schools worldwide. This means that our school has access to international events, standards, and educational best practices, ensuring our pupils receive a truly global and excellent education.

03

Passport to a
Global Future

Unlike other institutions in Mexico, all our pupils, without exception, study recognised international programmes that open doors for them anywhere in the world. We are a school that combines the IGCSE (International General Certificate of Secondary Education)—the most widely recognised international certificate for students aged 14 to 16—and the full IB (International Baccalaureate), a rigorous two-year pre-university programme for young people aged 16 to 19. We prepare our graduates to succeed at the world’s top universities.

04

The World in Our
Classrooms

Our classes are led by certified international educators accredited by world-leading institutions, guaranteeing an outstanding multicultural and humanistic education.

05

Outside-the-Box
Thinking

Our educational programme prioritises not only multidisciplinary learning, but also problem-solving skills through ‘outside-the-box’ thinking and ideas. We equip all our children with tools that enable them to find innovative paths to overcome challenges and achieve their goals

06

Wellbeing:
The Heart of Edron

Through various national and international programmes, as well as a strict zero-tolerance anti-bullying policy, we safeguard the emotional wellbeing of our children to ensure they thrive in a safe and supportive environment.

07

Trilingual Students

We are pioneers in trilingual education across the three most spoken languages in the world: English, Spanish, and Mandarin Chinese. Guided by our native-speaking specialists, our pupils attain a high level of linguistic proficiency, gaining a competitive edge that opens doors to the world’s best universities and international opportunities.

Our goal is to nurture global leaders with purpose, values, and excellence to transform the world.
