At a glance
Curriculum and academics
The kindergarten introduces the German curriculum through play and structured activity rather than formal lessons. German is woven into the day alongside Spanish so that children absorb the language naturally, with English added as the programme builds. The aim is a confident trilingual foundation before children move into the German primary.
Because the kindergarten is part of a full school that runs to the Abitur, the early years are designed as the first step of a long pathway rather than a standalone nursery. Parents weighing a German route from the start can read our German curriculum guide to understand how the stages connect through to the upper school.

Colegio Alemán Alexander von Humboldt Kindergarten fees
The kindergarten does not publish a single headline fee we could verify, so we describe its position rather than invent a number. As the early years stage of an established German school, it sits in the upper middle tier of our Mexico City international school fees guide, with early years tuition typically below the senior years.
Alongside tuition, budget for the one off enrolment fee, materials, the optional school bus and lunches where offered. Confirm the current early years schedule directly with the school, as fees are set each academic year and vary by campus.
Admissions
The kindergarten is the most open entry point of the whole school, and no prior German is expected because the language is taught from the beginning. The main intake follows the Mexican calendar with an August start, and families usually register well ahead given strong demand for early years places.
Entry is by application with a short familiarisation rather than an academic test at this age. Places can be limited, so families relocating with young children should approach the school early to secure a place in the right campus.
Location and who goes there
The kindergarten runs across the school's three campuses, Norte in the Lomas Verdes area of Naucalpan, Poniente in Huixquilucan and Sur in Xochimilco. This spread lets families choose the campus closest to home rather than commit to a single site across the metropolitan area.
The early years community mixes German and Mexican families along with international households who want a trilingual start for their children. For the broader map of neighbourhoods and school options, see the Mexico City city hub.
