This profile is an independent reference page. GlobalSchoolGuide does not rank schools for payment and no school appears here because it paid to. We researched the facts below from the school and public sources at the time of writing and flag anything we could not confirm as not published.
At a glance
Curriculum and academics
Maddox teaches a bilingual programme built on the Mexican national curriculum with substantial English across the day. The school has a Catholic foundation and belongs to the Semper Altius network linked to the Legion of Christ, which shapes its values and its connection to the Anáhuac preparatory route at the senior stage. Boys and girls are taught in separate classes until the middle years.
The school runs from preschool through to preparatoria, giving a continuous bilingual route within one institution. Families weighing a bilingual school against a fully international or International Baccalaureate path can read our bilingual guide to understand the trade offs before deciding.

Colegio Maddox fees
Maddox does not publish a single headline fee we could verify, so we describe its position rather than quote a figure. As an established bilingual private school it sits in the mid range of our Mexico City international school fees guide, more accessible than the premium international schools, which is why it appears among the more affordable options in our city roundup.
Beyond tuition, budget for enrolment, uniform, materials and optional transport. Catholic foundation schools often structure fees differently from international schools, so confirm the current schedule and any family contributions directly with the school.
Admissions
The school admits for an August start on the Mexican calendar, with preschool the natural entry point. Families are usually asked for recent reports and an interview or familiarisation, and the school confirms the right year group and language level before a place is offered.
As a long established school with a loyal community, demand for places is steady, so early contact is sensible. Mid year entry is reviewed where space allows in the relevant stage.
Location and who goes there
Maddox sits in Naucalpan, in the north west of the metropolitan area in the State of Mexico, within reach of the western and northern districts where many families live. The location suits households settled in that part of the city rather than those in the centre or south.
The community is mainly Mexican families who value a bilingual education with a Catholic ethos and a long history. For the wider map of neighbourhoods and the full range of options, see the Mexico City city hub.
