At a glance
Curriculum and academics
The campus teaches the German curriculum that runs across the whole Humboldt school, with lessons in Spanish, German and English from the early years onward. German is built up steadily so that by the upper school students can sit German qualifications, and the pathway leads to the German International Abitur alongside the Mexican Bachillerato. This dual route keeps doors open to universities in Germany, Mexico and beyond.
Stages on the southern campus are spread across two sites. Kindergarten and primary sit at Plantel Tepepan in Colonia Tepepan, while secondary and preparatory move to Plantel La Noria. Families choosing a German route can read our German curriculum guide to see how the Abitur compares with other international pathways before committing.

Campus Sur in Xochimilco fees
Campus Sur in Xochimilco does not publish a single headline figure that we could verify, so we describe its position rather than quote a precise number. As an established German school it sits in the upper middle tier of our Mexico City international school fees guide, below the most expensive premium international schools but above the mid range bilingual privados.
Beyond tuition, budget for the one off enrolment fee, school bus, uniform, device programmes and examination entries in the qualification years. Mexico City traffic makes the bus close to essential from some neighbourhoods. Confirm the current schedule with the campus, as fees change each academic year.
Admissions
The school year follows the Mexican calendar with a main intake in August. The natural entry points are the early years, where no prior German is needed, since the language is taught from the start. Later entry is possible where places exist, usually with an assessment of the child's German and Spanish to confirm the right year group.
Places at the established campuses can be limited, so families relocating to the south of the city should contact the campus early. Mid year entry is reviewed case by case depending on space in the relevant stage.
Location and who goes there
Campus Sur sits in the Xochimilco area in the south of the city, with its two plantels in Tepepan and La Noria. The setting suits families living across the southern districts, including Coyoacán, Tlalpan and Xochimilco itself, who want a German education without a long commute north.
The community mixes German and Mexican families along with internationally mobile households drawn to the trilingual route. For the wider picture of where families live and the other options across the city, see the Mexico City city hub.
