ITJ ESSENCE
High Quality Learning
High Quality Learning is a process of continuous transformation, which integrates the acquisition of knowledge and skills through motivation, innovation and repeated experiences. It fosters the development of understanding while promoting inclusion, diversity and community engagement based on our values (respect, loyalty, honesty and responsibility), to meaningfully impact a dynamic and interconnected world.
Child protection and safeguarding
The Safeguarding program aims to protect each one of our students by giving close follow up to high priority cases, whether they be because of possible negligence or because of some form of abuse. The position’s main responsibility is to communicate, accompany and when necessary, act as liaison with the authorities both inside and outside the School.
Google Reference School
Throughout their time at ITJ, our students learn to use different technological resources as part of their digital education. We are the fourth school in Mexico and the sixth in Latin America to be certified by Google as Google Reference School. Each year, we are accredited with this certification for our use of technology in the classroom and for our teachers’ certification in the use of Google Workspace tools. We have over 1,000 devices available for our students, allowing them to engage with the digital world in a safe and efficient way.
International Liaison
At ITJ we are very proud to be a School that celebrates multiculturalism and we want our non-Spanish speaking families to feel at home. Our International Liaison works as a point of contact to help these families throughout their adaptation period both to the School and to a new country.
Accreditations
The ITJ Campus Querétaro is a candidate for NEASC (New England Association of Schools and Colleges) International accreditation. This accreditation guarantees the institutional commitment to promoting excellence in learning, seeking the autonomy and empowerment of students, through continuous improvement.
ITJ PROGRAMS
Maker Space
Through the Maker Space, our students develop teamwork, leadership, effective communication, and conflict resolution skills, using the “Design Thinking” methodology.
ITJ Elementary Orchestra
The ITJ Elementary Orchestra project was born 6 years ago to turn the curricular music class into a learning experience that allows 3rd and 4th grade students to experience music from an entirely different perspective. Students acquire the skill of playing an instrument or using their voice as one and at the end of the year there is a concert to share what they learned with family and friends. This experience favors the development of self-regulation skills and the ability to following instructions. It is an extraordinary exercise in tolerance, respect and recognition of the importance of teamwork.
TJ MUN
(Modelo de las Naciones Unidas)
Academic simulation presented entirely in the English language, in which our High School students become diplomatic ambassadors of the country they represent, participating in discussions of social, cultural and economic issues worldwide. Each year we have approximately 400 participants from different schools in the state.
International Learning Opportunities for Students (ILOS)
We are part of the International Schools Partnership (ISP), an international group with more than 40 schools around the world, which guarantees a network of international connections and ensures learning with world standards.
Being a part of ISP also offers our high school students opportunities for learning and collaboration, such as the ISP Model United Nations and the Buddy Exchange Program.
