Private international school in Xalapa, VeracruzWelcome to Colegio Americano de Xalapa

Here English sticks for life, because they live it before they can even read: from age one they listen, play, and sing in English only, at the only 100% English preschool in Xalapa.

In Kinder 3 we add Spanish, and they start learning to read and write in both languages at the same time.

Everything that will make them stand out years from now starts here: they learn to think for themselves, to ask questions, and to solve problems, in small groups where every child is seen.

They learn through play and hands-on projects, with a teacher keeping an eye on how each one is doing.

They discover what they love early: in a maker studio built for our youngest kids, they explore technology through play, at a school Apple recognizes worldwide for how it teaches.

And in the afternoons they try dance, art, music, and sports, with extended-day hours.

So they arrive without fear and feel free to be themselves: from day one they learn to name and calm their emotions, with a gym built for their development and a special day to meet their teachers before school even starts.

Safety is taken seriously here: we run background checks on every hire, we work to prevent bullying, and there's a clear way to report concerns, with a promise that if your child speaks up, someone listens and helps.

They join a school that stays with them from the toddler years all the way to High School, never switching schools, never starting over at each new stage.

When they reach Elementary they move to the Lencero campus, with the same English, the same iPad, and the same way of learning, so the change feels easy.

In Elementary, English is the language they learn in: they take science and history in English, with the head start of coming from the only 100% English preschool in Xalapa.

Every student still has their own iPad, and they sharpen their English writing in dedicated classes.

So no one falls behind, we track their progress with the same international assessment U.S. schools use to benchmark themselves.

They learn by building projects and start competing early: our students have won regional awards in public speaking and storytelling.

They start really creating: in a technology studio they design and build their own projects on their iPad, at an Apple-recognized school.

And in the afternoons they pick their thing: soccer, basketball, volleyball, taekwondo, dance, chess, or painting, all with real coaches.

Here, well-being is something we actually teach: they learn to recognize and calm their emotions so they get along better and come to class ready, with a counselor for each group keeping track of how they're doing.

Safety is taken seriously here: we run background checks on every hire, we work to prevent bullying, and there's a clear way to report concerns, with a promise that if your child speaks up, someone listens and helps.

They stay at the same school that will take them all the way to High School, with no switching schools midway.

The English, the iPad, and the way of learning they already know carry right over, and the maker studios move up to the next level.

They leave Middle School speaking English with ease, and add French as a third language, so language never holds them back anywhere in the world.

They keep taking the core subjects in English, and an international assessment tracks their progress.

This is where they start building the record that opens doors to college later: they create science projects that solve real problems and take them to competitions, where they stand out.

They learn to research, argue, and defend an idea in public, exactly what college and work will ask of them.

Talent steps up a level: they design prototypes and even AI projects in the technology studio, take the stage, and audition for the musical of the year.

They have more than ten electives to explore their own interests, with tools from across the Apple ecosystem.

At the age when they need steadiness most, we keep teaching them to manage their emotions and add a program that builds real-life skills.

Safety is taken seriously here: we run background checks on every hire, we work to prevent bullying, and there's a clear way to report concerns, with a promise that if your child speaks up, someone listens and helps.

They're on the home stretch to High School, at the same school, with the same way of learning and the same classmates, no interruptions.

The method, the iPad, and the maker studios stay the same, so moving up a stage keeps them at the same school and with the same friends.

They finish High School with English at the level the world's universities expect, and a third language on top.

They take the core subjects in English, and an international assessment follows their progress right to the end.

The goal is clear: to get into the college they want, well prepared. They graduate with the English universities ask for, plus guidance, scholarships, and partnerships to make the leap.

And with a record to back it up: their science projects have competed and won at international fairs, and they've learned to research and defend their ideas, exactly what colleges value.

Talent turns into something real: from the technology studio to the musical's stage, plus a three-year entrepreneurship program where they even register their own project with the patent office.

They learn to create with professional tools, from music and video to their first apps.

Well-being grows into belonging and purpose: they're still supported by the same method as always, and they go out to serve their community through real social-impact projects.

A small school where every student counts, with spaces of their own to hang out and feel at home.

High School caps off a journey of up to 17 years at a single school: the same way of learning, the same community, no breaks.

A student who's been here since the toddler years knows the language, the method, and their people inside out, and that confidence shows when they head off to college.
