About Humanitree
Humanitree is an international school in Mexico City founded in 2011. It is located on three campuses in the western neighbourhood of Lomas Altas & Lomas de Chapultepec. The school teaches a child-centred curriculum incorporating the English and Welsh national standards, the US Common Core and the International Baccalaureate. We are a bilingual school, teaching classes of approximately 80% in English and 20% in Spanish. Our preschool and Elementary school has a project-based approach to learning with a strong focus on literacy and numeracy. This project approach is continued in middle and high school through dedicated curriculum time coupled with more traditional subjects emphasising teacher-directed and student-directed learning.
We are a growing school with our first generation of High School students graduating in 2022. We are also an IB Diploma school that gained authorisation to teach the IB Diploma in 2020.
In September 2023, we opened our state-of-the-art middle and high school campus designed by renowned Rosan Bosch Studios. The new innovative elementary campus is due to open in September 2024, along with our original beautiful kinder campus.
As an Apple Distinguished School, integrating technology is at the heart of our pedagogical practice with a one-to-one student iPad program from Grade 1 through to High School. Humanitree class sizes average 16 students, ensuring a close personal connection between learners and staff. It is part of our philosophy that a student’s school experience is individualized, ensuring their talents and skills can flourish.

Location
I like my school because it has lots of fun technology and your own opinions are not judged. The Teachers are fun and you learn in a fun way but you still learn. You have a lot of freedom and if you have an opinion people will always hear.
