At Escuela Tomás Alva Edison, students follow a student‑centred, learning‑focused journey from 18 months to 18 years. From their earliest days, they practise positive habits and values in everyday routines, learning to make good choices that shape every part of their lives.
As they move through each stage, students discover their strengths, take ownership of their learning and step up to new challenges. They grow into authentic, independent, successful and happy young people.
Our graduates leave with more than strong academic results. Each one has built their own learning path, and their personal stories of growth and achievement reflect the human and academic excellence we are proud to share.
At TAE, students follow a well‑rounded academic pathway that builds their competence, deepens their global awareness and prepares them to embrace new challenges with confidence.
Ages 18 months - 7 years
Begin learning in a safe, nurturing environment where physical and emotional wellbeing come first. Grow happily while developing key skills through the Early Years Foundation Stage and the Cambridge curriculum, with play, exploration and confidence at the heart of each day.
Ages 7 - 12
Build a strong trilingual foundation in Spanish, English and French while following the Cambridge Pathway curriculum. Expand knowledge and develop new skills that nurture innovative, creative thinkers ready to take on fresh challenges.
Ages 12 - 15
Strengthen academic excellence with personalised support that responds to individual needs. Follow the Cambridge Pathway with a percentage of subjects taught in English, while French remains a constant presence each year, deepening understanding and global perspective.
Ages 15 - 19
Shape the final stage of essential education and the first steps toward future professional pathways. Choose between the nationally recognised UNAM Bachillerato and the internationally prestigious IB Diploma Programme (IBDP), developing collaborative research and creative, innovative projects aligned with university expectations.
As a school, we offer a safe and challenging environment where students can discover their strengths and grow in confidence. We work to design learning experiences that connect classroom ideas with real life, helping them become fully prepared for what comes after school.

Amy Biggs
Primary School Director
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.
Daniel Cantu

We have seen remarkable growth in our daughters thanks to the Amazing Learning methodology, which is helping them develop academic and social-emotional skills.

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.

I’m happy at TAE because I have loyal, empathetic friends who are always there for me, and teachers who greet us with a smile every day and also teach really interesting topics.

As a former TAE student, I always wanted my children to study at TAE because I experienced, day by day, the academic education I received and saw its results at university and in my professional life.

My daughter truly lives TAE; she is not just a student - her school is something close and familiar that has become part of her identity.
