What the school says

"Olinca International School delivers academic excellence with bilingual and international programmes (SEP-IB-Olinca/CCH-IB-Olinca). We offer an education in key competencies and life skills from a global perspective with an integrated curriculum. We believe in providing social-emotional accompaniment to all our students, combined with a deep social and environmental commitment.

"Our mission is to develop well-rounded, confident, capable, committed human beings. Our vision is for Olinca to be a school where community action, delivered through values that encourage people to be better human beings, takes centre stage.

"In 2022, we joined the Cognita group, a London-based network of 100 schools across 16 countries, teaching 12 different curricula."

Curriculum

Educational model

"Olinca was the first school in Mexico to pioneer the International Baccalaureate (IB) programme and is proud to be an IB Continuum School. It is also the first in the country to achieve accreditation as a Cambridge International Early Years Centre, with additional accreditation for its Primary Years programme. These programmes provide access to world-class teaching models, high-quality teacher training, and international benchmarking.

"As a co-educational, secular institution, Olinca offers personalised, international education that fosters critical thinking, respect, and a commitment to global improvement. We place students at the centre of learning, empowering them to become open-minded, autonomous individuals with strong values. Our holistic approach promotes academic excellence while preparing students to thrive in a rapidly evolving world."

Centre values

"At Olinca, we are dedicated to fostering confident, resilient, and emotionally healthy students, aligning with the values of all Cognita Group schools and our holistic culture of well-being. 

"As part of the Great Place to Study, and with a strong culture of feedback from students, parents and employees, we place a strong emphasis on the well-being of every member of the community. Our safe learning environment reflects this commitment, and we consistently monitor and review our efforts to ensure we not only meet but exceed the standards set by regulatory bodies."

From the headmaster

"Welcome to the Olinca Community!

"Our mission is to “develop well-rounded, confident, capable, and committed human beings”, creating a space that inspires and develops our students’ self-confidence, empowering them to succeed in life with a solid foundation of well-being.

"Together with families, we want to help our students achieve more than they ever thought possible through our passion for academic excellence, building resilient minds, and fostering positive, international perspectives that seek the common good.

"We touch the future; we teach!"

From the parents
