Curriculum and academics
The Edron Academy is one of the established British schools in Mexico City and one of the local routes to the International Baccalaureate Diploma. The school was founded in 1963 and runs a bilingual programme in English and Spanish, taking pupils from the early years through to the pre university stage. It blends a British structure with the Mexican curriculum required by the Ministry of Education.
Through the secondary school, pupils work towards IGCSE examinations, then continue to the IB Diploma Programme in the final two years. That combination gives leavers a recognised international qualification with broad university acceptance, while the bilingual model keeps Spanish and English strong throughout. The Edron Academy is an authorised IB World School, the status the IB grants to schools approved to deliver its programmes.
Alongside the academic core, the school runs sport, the arts and a programme of activities, and supports pupils moving between the British and Mexican parts of the curriculum. For families relocating into the city, the long history and the dual British and IB offer make it a familiar reference point among the local international schools in Mexico City.

Admissions
The main intake aligns with the Mexican academic year, which starts in August. The Edron Academy considers applications through the year where year groups have space, so families relocating outside the usual window can enquire about availability.
Assessment depends on the age of the child. Younger applicants are usually observed informally, while older pupils may complete assessments and provide recent school reports. Because the IB Diploma builds on earlier study, the school reviews prior schooling carefully when older pupils apply for the senior years.
Location and who goes there
The campus is in the south of Mexico City, in the Pedregal and Calzada de las Aguilas area, a part of the city with several established residential neighbourhoods. It is reached by road from the southern and central districts where many of its families live.
The community mixes Mexican families who want a bilingual British and IB education with expatriate families posted to the city. The long history of the school means it draws strongly on families who value a settled, established institution rather than a newly opened one.
