Advantages of studying at Kilimanjaro Monterrey

  • Project-based learning: Develops orderly thinking by proposing solutions to real-life situations through sequenced steps. Because it takes place over an extended period of time, it also builds students' organization and planning skills.

  • Problem- or challenge-based learning: Develops multiple skills through solving a problem or challenge, such as broadening students' perspective by approaching the problem from different angles, developing creativity by proposing possible solutions, encouraging assertive decision-making based on the information available, and learning to work under pressure.

  • Case studies: Students first individually, then in small groups and finally as a whole class, formulate concrete and realistic solutions to real-life situations while considering different perspectives. Analysis, reflection and small-group discussion foster empathy, and presenting conclusions to a group builds confidence and clarity in public speaking.

  • Experiments: Encourage children to inquire, research and learn through discovery, fostering curiosity by inviting students to ask questions, formulate hypotheses and look for answers. Through experimentation, they come to understand natural and scientific phenomena in order to generate and propose models.

  • Collaborative centers: Reinforce or consolidate previously covered learning with the support of concrete environments and materials. They foster student autonomy by assigning a task with a limited time to complete it, and they respond to multiple intelligences and learning styles by offering alternative materials, activities and assessments for each student.

Our facilities play an important role in our students' learning process. We take advantage of every opportunity, inside and outside the classroom, to create an educational and formative experience. Every space has been designed with great attention to detail to help our students reach their full potential.

  • We integrate technology into the classroom, not just as entertainment, but to reinforce concepts, ideas and skills.

  • We have large windows that help students self-regulate their attention by connecting the indoor space with the outdoors.

  • We use neutral colors throughout our spaces to encourage concentration and creativity.

  • We bring every corner of the classroom to life by letting students explore and use each space.

In our model, English is much more than a subject. The main advantage of our approach to bilingualism is that students achieve a high level of English proficiency, allowing them to study and work professionally in a second language. They also have the opportunity to earn international certifications that validate their knowledge.

English proficiency develops progressively across the different sections, and by graduation our students* reach a C1 level according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.

We firmly believe that it is people who form students. That is why we see teachers as an essential link who mediate the learning process so each student can reach their fullest development. We also maintain close communication with parents, partnering with them to support their formative mission.

Through sports, our students get to know themselves, learn to overcome challenges, build willpower and character, and develop psychomotor, emotional, social and intellectual skills.

We also offer students constant exposure to art and culture, helping them develop critical and creative thinking as well as a range of emotional skills.

Our model of single-sex classrooms within a coeducational environment allows us to offer our families the best of both worlds.

We are convinced that single-sex education within elementary and middle school classrooms is the best way to maximize our students' cognitive abilities and academic development, as it allows us to adapt teaching strategies to students' interests and psycho-emotional characteristics. In addition, boys and girls interact naturally and spontaneously in a coeducational environment, achieving:

  • Optimal social-emotional development.

  • Natural interaction with the opposite sex.

  • Lifelong friendships in mixed groups.

  • Preparation for life in a world that is coeducational.

At every educational level, we want students to use technology effectively and efficiently as a tool to increase their productivity, develop their creativity, communicate ideas and learn collaboratively, without forgetting the responsibility that comes with using it. We want every student to reach their full potential and to be creators, not just consumers, of technology.

Through educational technology, robotics and the STEAM methodology (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Math), we encourage students to see technology:

  • As a useful and necessary resource for learning.

  • As a means to develop digital skills.

  • As a foundation of technological skills for the next educational levels.
