ADVANTAGES OF STUDYING AT OXFORD SCHOOL MÉXICO

Did you know that our school uses learning-centered methodologies?
These methodologies include:

• Project-based learning: Develops orderly thinking by designing solutions to real-life situations through sequenced steps. Because projects unfold over extended periods, students also build organization and planning skills.
• Problem- and challenge-based learning: Builds multiple skills through solving a problem or challenge — students broaden their perspective by analyzing the problem from different angles, develop creativity in proposing solutions, learn to make assertive decisions based on available information, and learn to work under pressure.
• Case studies: Students first individually, then in small groups, and finally in plenary, formulate concrete and realistic proposals considering different perspectives on real-life situations. Through analysis, reflection, and small-group discussion, we foster empathy; presenting conclusions to a group builds confidence and clarity for public speaking.
• Experiments: Encourages children toward inquiry, research, and discovery-based learning, fostering curiosity by inviting them to ask questions, formulate hypotheses, and seek answers. Through experimentation, students understand natural and scientific phenomena to generate and propose models.
• Collaborative centers: Used to reinforce or consolidate previously addressed learning with concrete environments and materials. Promotes student autonomy by assigning tasks with limited time to complete, and responds to multiple intelligences and learning styles by offering alternatives in materials, activities, and assessments tailored to each student.

We want our students to develop their full potential through these methodologies and a holistic education!

Our facilities are an essential part of our students' learning process. We seize every opportunity, inside and outside the classroom, to create an educational and formative experience. Every detail is designed to foster individual and collaborative work among our students.

• We integrate technology into the classroom not just as entertainment, but to reinforce concepts, ideas, and skills.
• Our large windows help students self-regulate their attention by connecting the indoor space with the outdoors.
• We use neutral colors throughout all our spaces to support concentration and creativity.
• We bring every space in the classroom to life by allowing students to explore and use every corner.

Our learning environments promote inquiry, spark curiosity, and connect with each student's knowledge.

In our model, English is much more than a subject. The main advantage of our bilingual focus is that students achieve a high level of English proficiency, enabling them to study and work professionally in a second language, with the opportunity to earn internationally recognized certifications.

Our students take standardized tests that certify their English level and are accepted internationally.

Learning mentorship is a way of relating to students in class that creates opportunities to truly know them, designing strategies and materials that allow students to take ownership of their formation and learning.

We also maintain close communication with parents, forming a partnership to support them in their formative mission.

Sports are an essential area for our students' holistic development. Beyond enhancing physical coordination, sports foster values such as perseverance, teamwork, will, and the desire to be better every day. That's why we consider sports a core discipline within our school's formation.

Through sports, our students learn about themselves, learn to overcome challenges, build will and character, and develop psychomotor, emotional, social, and intellectual aspects.
‍
We offer our students continuous engagement with art and culture to help them develop critical and creative thinking, as well as a range of emotional skills. Through artistic expression, our students develop a sense of collaboration, where art serves as a channel for communicating emotions and connecting with all their senses.

Our model of single-sex classrooms within a coed campus offers our families the best of both worlds.

We are convinced that separate-sex classes in elementary and middle school are the best way to maximize cognitive capabilities and academic development, because it allows us to adapt pedagogical strategies to the interests and psycho-affective characteristics of each gender. In addition, we offer the advantage that boys and girls coexist naturally and spontaneously across the broader school environment, achieving:

• Optimal socio-emotional development.
• Natural coexistence with the other gender.
• Building lifelong mixed friend groups.
• Preparation for life in a mixed-gender world.

Across all our educational levels, we want students to use technology effectively and efficiently as a tool to boost productivity, develop creativity, communicate ideas, and learn collaboratively — without forgetting the responsibility that comes with it. We want every student to reach their full potential and become creators, not just consumers, of technology.
‍
Through educational technology, robotics, and the STEAM methodology (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Math), we want students to see it:
‍

• As a useful and necessary resource for learning.
• As a means to develop digital competencies.
• As a foundation of technological skills for the next educational levels.

One of the most important sporting events within the Red de Colegios Semper Altius is the Friendship Tournament (Torneo de la Amistad). It is the school competition with the largest number of participants in Latin America.

This tournament takes place every year and brings together around 7,000 athletes from all our schools. It is an event of encounter and healthy competition where our students and parents have the opportunity to connect with families from every school in the network.

It is an academic competition for students from middle school upward, organized by the Red de Colegios Semper Altius and Red Prepa Anáhuac.

During this event, students apply their knowledge in projects across different competitions and categories:

Some of them are:

• Exact Sciences
• Entrepreneurship
• Written and Oral
• Research
• Art and Technology
