Whilst the school has changed location to accommodate increased pupil numbers, the original vision lives on today in the form of our Edron Values. These continue to be the foundation of our approach to working with young people, and are what binds us together as a community.
The Edron Academy is the oldest British international school in Mexico City, and it is run as a non-profit organisation. This ensures that all the school’s funds and energy are dedicated to ensuring that the quality of teaching and learning is always prioritised and of the highest quality standard.
Since its founding in 1963, The Edron Academy has been a unique internationally-minded and progressive school. We are proud to be incorporated to the Mexican Ministry of Education (SEP) as well as being an IB World school since 1995 and a Cambridge IGCSE centre. These affiliations enable us to provide a rigorous, balanced and internationally recognised curriculum for all of our pupils.
Accredited by the Council of British International Schools (COBIS) in 2014, we continue to work to the highest international standards and to celebrate the best of its British and Mexican roots.
