Our profile
Eton School provides a friendly and caring environment where students develop and
consolidate a positive self-image while growing intellectually and socially.
Eton students know that they matter to us for what they are and what they may come to be. They experience the development of their personal responsibility through reasoning and awareness. They understand that learning, which is a process that includes many stages and exciting changes, does not consist of taking in “what is transmitted”, but of “reflecting on something”. Eton School promotes a life-long love for learning, as well as a profound interest in both reading and the arts in general. Our students are shaped to take pleasure in learning; they also acquire the ability to propose and create solutions from and for life, developing high-level thinking and teamwork skills.
Teaching strategies are based on knowledge of the real world and inspire students to search, study, and investigate useful aspects and topics that provide them with meaningful experiences and motivate their participation and interest in daily classroom work and the presentation of results before various audiences. The inductive teaching and learning process currently applied in our School comprises a complex spectrum of instruction approaches such as the learning-by-inquiry, learning-for-problem- solving, project-based, and learning-by-discovery and research methods.
The Project Approach and Conscious Discipline programs are currently applied in Preschool and Elementary grades; our High School program has been certified by the International Baccalaureate Organization, and it has been granted the corresponding official recognition by SEP (Ministry of Education) or UNAM (The National University of Mexico) for each grade.
From Nursery to Pre-first grades, we strive to make our youngest students´ first school learning experience meaningful and worth remembering. In all of their activities, there is balance between structure and free choice, as well as between active and relaxation times, always under the “total immersion in English” methodology, following the Reggio Emilia philosophy. In Elementary School, projects and investigations are conducted under the English/Spanish bilingual system. In Junior and Senior High School, our English program, the Middle Years Program requirements, and the International Baccalaureate Diploma provide our students with a high academic level that facilitates their admission into the top national and international universities.
Our students’ comprehensive education is completed during our After-School Program, which includes several different after-school workshops, such as choir, dance, drama, guitar, violin, cello, piano, and plastic arts, as well as the possibility of forming part of the School’s soccer, basketball, track & field, and volleyball teams.
Each campus has its own Library, Computer Lab, audiovisual and electronic equipment, Psychology Department, Science Lab, Arts Workshops, music rooms, and sports facilities; the Santa Fe campus has greenhouse facilities for Elementary and High School, and several multipurpose rooms.
All High School English teachers are either fully competent speakers or foreign professors with specialized degrees in the subjects they teach. Most of them have a degree in Education or related fields, and many have completed one or more post- graduate study programs.
Professional development is a priority at our School, and our entire staff regularly attends workshops, courses, and master’s or doctorate programs. For example, educational conferences that are regularly imparted at our School include:
- International Baccalaureate Organization World School workshops
- Teaching for Understanding (TFU)
- Conscious Discipline
- Project Approach
- Reggio Emilia techniques
Several of our teachers are currently Trainers or Conference Leaders in all of these programs, both in Mexico and abroad. ADDITIONAL CHARACTERISTICS:
