Curriculum and academics
Eton delivers a fully bilingual education in English and Spanish and offers several pathways within one school. Students can follow the Mexican national curriculum alongside American standards, take the International Baccalaureate Middle Years and Diploma programmes and work towards an American high school certificate, which gives families flexibility over the profile their child graduates with. As part of Nord Anglia Education it draws on a wider international network for resources and staff development. Because it blends national, American and IB routes, families should ask which pathway applies at each stage and how the school advises on choosing between them. We describe the programme in the school own terms and do not publish examination figures we cannot verify, so ask the school directly for recent Diploma results and university destinations.

Admissions
The academic year in Mexico runs from August, and the main intake follows that calendar, with places in other grades where space allows. Families relocating to Mexico City should apply early for popular grades, particularly at the Santa Fe campus. Admissions review prior school records and references, assess the balance of English and Spanish an applicant brings and use age appropriate assessment for the youngest children, since the programme is bilingual from the start. The school confirms the documents it requires, including transfer papers and residency information, during the application, and it can advise which curriculum pathway fits the child stage.
Location and who goes there
Eton spans two parts of the city, with the early years in Lomas de Chapultepec and the elementary, middle and high school in Santa Fe, the modern business district in the west that is popular with diplomatic and international business families. Both areas are well established with expatriate communities, though Santa Fe traffic means many families weigh the commute carefully. The right school in Mexico City usually comes down to the curriculum and language balance you want, the fee band you can sustain and the neighbourhood you settle in, so it is worth visiting in person and comparing a shortlist before you decide.
