Learning is the process of repeated experiences by which we hardwire getting better at knowledge, skills and understanding through good struggling in different ways and over different time periods.
Educational offer with an international focus that encompasses different academic projects for High School students.

International curriculum made up of the International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC), International Primary Curriculum (IPC), English Immersion and teaching French as a third language. This curriculum seeks to develop the skills of collaboration, communication, creativity and critical thinking.
As part of the International Schools Partnership (ISP), a global group of schools, our students benefit from being part of an international community, which provides cultural learning opportunities. These opportunities include: ISP Virtual Body Exchange, ISP Model United Nations, ISP Maths Challenge, ISP Futures, and ISP Chess Tournament. Enabling collaboration and enrichment of experiences by sharing best practices.
Through the Leadership, Entrepreneurship and Innovation (LEI) course, designed in collaboration with the University of Mondragón (Spain) and Team Academy (Finland), our students develop teamwork, leadership, effective communication, and conflict resolution skills, using the “Design Thinking” methodology. They create their own company and support the social work of different organizations in their community.
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.
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.
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.
