What are the schools in Monterrey like?

"The International School of Monterrey (ISM) is recognized as one of the best international schools in Monterrey. Located in the heart of the city, the prestigious ISM is dedicated to educating its students to be independent, creative and culturally aware citizens. The school offers a challenging, inquiry-based curriculum coupled with a strong emphasis on Spanish language learning through engaging activities and projects. ISM also prides itself on creating an inclusive and supportive environment for students of all backgrounds and works closely with their families to help students fully realize their potential. The bilingual Miramonte International School is another top-choice among international schools in Monterrey, Mexico. Here, the teaching staff is committed to helping students gain a high level of fluency in both Spanish and English. With a multicultural base, diversity is welcomed here and every student is encouraged to contribute their points of view and be an active member of the learning environment. The school offers a variety of extracurricular activities, including clubs and sports, to help students further integrate into the school's global learning experience," explained one expat living in Monterrey, Mexico.

"This school is a properly run school in that it requires the students to comply properly with discipline - unlike most other private schools here. The teachers are excellent and the school has a good, varied curriculum strong in sciences. It offers a two-year prepa. Most importantly it is a LAY school - not religious - so there is none of the time-wasting religious ritual found at some other schools," said one parent with children at St Patricks School in Monterrey.
