Curriculum and academics
Eton School is one of the bilingual International Baccalaureate schools in the Mexico City area and sits among the city's IB schools in Mexico City. The school was founded in 1980 and is authorised for the IB continuum, running the Primary Years Programme, the Middle Years Programme and the Diploma Programme. Teaching is bilingual in English and Spanish across the school.
The IB approach shapes each stage: inquiry led learning in the primary years, interdisciplinary study in the middle years, and the rigorous, university preparatory Diploma in the final two years. Alongside the IB programmes the school follows the Mexican curriculum required by the Ministry of Education, so leavers hold both Mexican and international recognition.
Beyond the academic core, Eton School runs sport, the arts and a range of activities, and supports pupils as they progress between the IB programmes. For families weighing the local IB schools in Mexico City, the full PYP to Diploma route is the main point of difference.

Admissions
The main intake aligns with the Mexican academic year, which starts in August. Eton School 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 Diploma builds on earlier IB study, the school reviews prior schooling carefully when older pupils apply for the senior years.
Location and who goes there
The campus is in Naucalpan, in the State of Mexico, part of the Greater Mexico City metropolitan area to the north west of the central city. It is reached by road from the surrounding suburbs where many of its families live.
