Guadalajara - School Report Question and Answers

Are other schools available to expatriates in this city? Why did you choose this particular school?

Yes, American School, Thomas Jefferson and Lincoln. Canadian School is the only school without the pre-first system. - May 2017


I switched my son to this school during our tour here because my son needed a larger, institutional environment. In particular, I believed the math would be superior to his previous school and I found that to be the case. The school is implementing the Singapore Math curriculum. - Feb 2016


After visiting 4 schools upon arrival, I decided on this school for a variety of reasons including small class size, American curriculum, welcoming environment/smaller school size, and was satisfied that the religious expression here was positive rather than judgmental/intolerant in nature. - Feb 2016


We chose to homeschool in Guadalajara because we weren't satisfied with the other high school options. There are many good things about the other schools, but since the Lincoln School has trouble teaching all its core high school subjects in English, and since the American school is not diverse at all, we thought homeschooling would be a better option. Also, it is a major advantage for us to homeschool through high school instead of putting our children in three different high schools. - May 2014


It was the school sponsored by the U.S. Consulate. - May 2014


We contacted ASFG first but weren't happy with our initial interaction with them, especially regarding our high school age children. We waited to decide on the school until we arrived in Guadalajara and were pleased with the Canadian School for our youngest son when we visited it. - May 2014


Seemed the best fit for our kids. - May 2014
