Being a teacher at TAE is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. When I arrived in Mexico City, I didn’t expect to find a place where everyone would make me feel at home. I feel truly happy to be part of TAE.

Our experience is hard to put into words; it is better captured in the beautiful lifelong memory that TAE has given our daughter since Kindergarten. Today we know that TAE touched her heart and gave her the priceless memory of the best childhood she could have had.
