Home to the world’s largest Spanish-speaking population, México has seen explosive growth in demand for education over recent decades. The number of students at state secondary schools rose by four million from 1970 to 2000 and population growth reached 1.7 per cent a year by 2010. 

As the government faces the dual challenge of rapidly building more schools and implementing reforms to raise educational standards, a growing number of middle class Méxican families have turned to the private sector, fuelling growth in international education.

Of Mexico’s 123 IB World Schools, 115 offer instruction in Spanish and 82 in English. Over half of the total are bilingual. Among these, 81 schools are authorised to teach the International Baccalaureate Diploma. For a full list of IB World Schools in México, see the IB website.
