Peterson Schools
We are a K-12 International, multicultural, fully-bilingual school comprised of four campuses. Our school is founded on values that represent and ground our community. We continue to be the largest, oldest, english-speaking kindergarten in Mexico. With more than 50 years of experience, we aim to be the leading school in Mexico that offers a personalized education, in order to take on the challenges of our globalized world. We integrate technology, the arts and sports into our full curriculum, with the aim of shaping our students to become the best versions of themselves. We offer a compulsory IB program in the last 2 years of High School, so students can enter whichever higher education program with the best possible skills. The Peterson Schools are also part of many associations and have many accreditations both nationally and internationally. Additionally, we became the first Google Reference School outside the U.S. and the U.K., and the fist school K-12 to have a Coding Lab under the program Everyone Can Code® as an Apple Pilot School.
