Eton School

ton School in Mexico City offers grade levels for Early Childhood, Elementary, Middle and High School. It is an inclusive co-educational learning community that celebrates diversity and welcomes families from different cultures, nationalities, religions and ideologies. Our School fosters universal ethical and moral values by embracing fundamental human rights, which constitute the basis of its pluralistic and multicultural spirit.

Our School offers a strong comprehensive bilingual (English/Spanish) academic program, which promotes meaningful learning experiences that help youngsters develop their unique potential in a caring and nurturing environment.

Eton School was founded in 1990 by Ms. Margarita Arzac, a visionary, knowledgeable and well-recognized Mexican educator. Two of the co-founders, Ms. Liz Panchuk and Ms. Yvonne Kogan, are currently members of the Board of Directors of this Institution. The first one is the Head of School, and the second one is the Early Childhood and Elementary Academic Principal.

We envision a progressive and nurturing learning community that provides opportunities for individuals to develop their unique potential. Eton students will be capable of pursuing their life choices with commitment and joy, contributing to their community, their country and the world.Empowering minds and hearts.

At Eton School we create a culture of inquiry. Students are involved in sustained research of topics worthy of their interest, knowledge, and understanding. Inborn dispositions are supported and strengthened by an integrated interdisciplinary curriculum that is connected to students’ interests, experiences, talents and the real world.

Understanding is constructed through research and application. Skills are not ends in themselves; they are applied in the service of intellectual endeavors. Optimal learning and problem solving occur when people feel safe and connected. At Eton, we create a warm and positive school climate, promote social-emotional intelligence, and foster self-confidence and independence.

Undoubtedly, an aspect that is notable in our School and that characterizes our institution is the manner in which we prepare our environments to make them worthy of our students. Our spaces are a source of provocation and inspiration. From the simple arrangement of class material to the construction of a room, an educational purpose is envisioned.We incorporate nature into our atmosphere so that our students appreciate it, become sensitive to its elements, and are motivated to become responsible of their planet.

Other areas were designed for our students to be inspired to read and write, to be able to express themselves through the arts, to gain composure, to stay connected with their families, to promote meeting, communicating and building relationships, and to be able to explore the power within their bodies.

Such an arrangement of our learning environment can only reflect our conception of children as capable and competent beings, who benefit from relying on surroundings where their human potential can be enriched.Our Elementary program consists of an interdisciplinary curriculum taught both in English and Spanish.

Inquiry-based learning and the acquisition of solid academic skills are emphasized, so that students are able to continue to develop their growing intellect and acquire strong foundations that will enable them to achieve academic success.

Both first-hand experiences and the use of technology are intertwined into our curriculum, so that children are able to learn through a wide variety of experiences and media.Students are encouraged to represent their understanding in diverse ways.In Elementary we continue fostering social and emotional well-being, as we help our students develop the abilities and awareness they need to achieve inner balance and establish harmonious relationships.Students are encouraged to develop their interests and talents.Student progress is monitored to assess individual growth and to successfully meet national and international standards.
