The Lancaster School is a non-profit, private school founded in 1979 and is located in the south of Mexico City.  From the start, Lancaster has offered all our students integrated programs combining the Mexican and British education systems, taught through both English and Spanish. 

Biculturalism, which over the years has moved towards multiculturalist, has always been a fundamental principle of the school. Lancaster is not an international school, nor is it a British school overseas. Lancaster School continually seeks to find a balance between the different cultures that influence our community in ways that respect and celebrate differences without being judgemental, enriching the community and the school. 
 
Lancaster has, since its earliest days, been an inclusive community and we do not select students according to academic criteria. There are learning support teams on both sites, including a team of educational psychologists, who work closely with teachers and parents to ensure students with particular needs are able to develop intellectually and emotionally while at Lancaster. 

Lancaster has a reputation as a serious, forward-thinking and innovative educational establishment which puts the individual at the centre of the educational process. The school is an active member of the Latin American Heads Conference (LAHC) and the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO), while enjoying a long-standing collaborative relationship with schools of a similar nature in Mexico City.  

Additionally, Lancaster has developed a strong social action programme within local and regional communities: our San Andres project, based at the secondary site, gives students opportunities to teach children and adults from the local community both after school and on weekends.
