International School of Querétaro - Querétaro, Mexico

Founded in 1999, International School of Querétaro (ISQ) is a multicultural educational community committed to developing knowledgeable, independent and socially conscious students from Preschool through High School. With a constructivist-humanist philosophy at its core, ISQ believes that meaningful learning happens when students actively participate in their own educational journey, explore ideas, ask questions and connect knowledge with real-world experiences.

ISQ’s student-centred approach encourages curiosity, critical thinking, creativity and collaboration. Through inquiry-based learning and interdisciplinary projects, students investigate topics in depth, experiment, solve problems and develop the confidence to form their own opinions. Learning is adapted to individual needs and interests, while the school’s comprehensive educational model nurtures academic achievement alongside emotional, social and personal development.

Trilingual education in Spanish, English and French is an essential part of the ISQ experience. Through language learning, internationally recognised certifications and opportunities to engage with different cultures, students develop communication skills and a broader understanding of the world. The school’s multicultural community brings together more than 26 nationalities, creating an environment where diversity is valued and students learn to approach different perspectives with openness, respect and empathy.

Since 2001, ISQ has been part of UNESCO’s Associated Schools Network (ASPnet), reflecting its commitment to global citizenship, intercultural understanding, peace and sustainable development. These principles are embedded in the school’s educational philosophy, encouraging students to recognise their role in society and become responsible citizens who contribute positively to their communities. Its holistic approach also extends beyond the classroom through arts, music, sports, technology and environmental education, giving students opportunities to discover their interests, develop their talents and build lasting skills.

ISQ’s High School programme includes the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme, further strengthening its commitment to international-mindedness, academic research, critical thinking and independent learning. Students are encouraged to explore their interests, take responsibility for their learning and prepare for future academic pathways in Mexico and abroad. Additionally, ISQ maintains alliances with national and international universities, helping students navigate the university application process and access a wider range of academic opportunities.

As part of Inspired Education Group, which connects more than 95,000 students across 30 countries, ISQ students gain access to a wider global educational community, international exchange opportunities and collaborative experiences that extend learning beyond Querétaro.

At ISQ, education is about more than academic success. It is about empowering every student to think independently, embrace diversity, act with compassion and become a positive force for change in an increasingly interconnected world.
