What are the schools in Mexico City like?
When we asked about the schools in Mexico City, they said...
"This is a very intense school with lots of homework. The best thing is the mandatory spanish for non spanish speakers. My child is fluent in spanish and is continuing back home to study this language. The school is expensive and very large. Not much individual attention with classes of 25 kids even in the lower school. The new IB program seems to be very interesting. The school is mostly Mexican and some of the ex-pat kids experience a lot of prejudice and it can be hard for kids who do not have a lot of money," said one expat in Mexico City with children at American School Foundation.
"Look at other schools. It is worth it. 38 teachers left in 2013, the administration is hidden in an office. The headmaster, jonathan Robins has no qualification what so ever for the job. The new teachers do not work as a team, and it does not help when your child is in 11grade or 12 grade. It is way too expensive for what it is. We are not sure the kids are happy now/," remarked one parent with kids at Greengates School in Mexico City.
