Santa Fe Institute - 64620 Monterrey

The level of English is very good, the staff is friendly and really care about the children. Very happy with the choice of my children's school.

That it is a private school is not synonymous with quality, a teacher apart from being well prepared must have a vocation, it is a ducky school more of this country

Terrible experience, save the tour of the facilities, because they tell you that the system is 90 bilingual and interactive, which is not true, they show you a 4 x 10 meter audiovisual room and they tell you that it is the first grade one. the reality the classrooms are smaller than 4x4 meters without a projector ... the unsuitable books Learning Journeys (which are 4 volumes ... and they only saw 2 more or less complete, the 3rd took a few pages ... the 4th did not They touched) .. they make you buy a book of "Values" either from the Catholic religion or one of The Emotions (which it didn't even open) ... the one from Spanish ... they will have seen 30% at most ... and the Envision Math 2 volumes (900 pages in total ... that only saw volume 1 (terrible ... check Amazon reviews ... and many teachers in the USA ..) They don't let you know when the bimonthly evaluations are, nor is there a GUIDE if you came out with an average of 8 ... they go to SEP 6.5 without justification ... they keep saying that your child needs "extra advice" because he is late. they suggest to almost all the parents..it is true..that your child has a deficit..because he "gets distracted" ... because who will last 6 hours writing and copying from the blackboard..for there are no contests..work in team, round table ... go to the front, zero audiovisual..nothing .. Rotation of teachers .. teachers who disappear like music and computers and do not replace them. Exaggerated number of notebooks (14 to be exact and of subjects such as Physical Education. As if by logic, they did not use it ... and this was the only teacher that lasted them ...) all with a small grid ... which is not suitable for writing ... this is a method of using grid is a very old and obsolete notion of the 80's and Spain. Not from other more advanced countries in education. Teachers resign them ... and Miss "L" is the coordinator, with whom you can not talk ... nor can you suggest ... or even help ... who also has no knowledge or teaching ... or psychology ... much less than English and he does not allow himself to be helped ... he is cruel to the little ones ... with punishments such as leaving them in the sun ... or in the living room ... to finish flat and flat ... he even made them cry to more than half a room in a "Spelling contest" with such advanced words for children of 4th or 5th grade .. (and they go in First !!) Do you want your son to lower his self-esteem? bullying? that I come home with useless, tedious tasks..of 3 subjects..for an hour and a half or more? In other words, the only thing they do is open notebooks or books and copy what they put on the board, 6 hours a day. Also, since they do not have the notion of how the English Language is taught, they divide the English language into all these subjects: Math, Science; Language, Phonics, Spelling, Grammar and Reading !!! that's too much There is no use going to talk to them ... nothing will improve. The biggest mistake I made was letting myself be carried away by the happy tour and facilities ... and seeing the books well above ... But things have changed and my son is doing very well in a bicultural school (Montessori and constructivist type ... where teachers and teachers last more than 8 years, and they love children and their profession ... they make some beautiful plays Tours work at a round table, participate in contests, songs, teamwork ... has 5 teachers ... even lower price ... we are very happy now ... Do not get carried away by the facade and the tour ... or books that "look nice", but that neither complete ... nor are they good ... save yourself the courage ... the stress that your little ones will be subjected to. ..I can't write so many bad experiences..the best thing was to meet other moms..with whom I had friendship and good relationship..in the end..all of us are on the run in this city..working and wanting the best for our children ... and believe me, they are going to be very disappointed here.

It is outrageous to know that your staff has no idea what working with preschool children is. What a shame as a school not to have trained staff. That stupid should never be in front of a group! They must do something about it.

It is difficult for me to go to my girl early at the time of departure since I am a single father and I have a job with rigorous schedules. The stay service they offer has helped me a lot since I know that it is in a safe environment and they even help you do your homework !!

Unfortunately, the school was involved in a problem by one of its employees who served as a teacher, who committed a derogatory act towards one of her students, however the school acted accordingly and dismissed the "teacher" immediately from her position and He took the relevant legal action. That was what they said in a statement.

My son is super happy with Miss Sigrid !! Very attentive to the children and my son has greatly improved his grades since she advises him. Very happy with the school and my child too!

The best school where I could have enrolled my children. The attention that Miss Sigrid gives to the doubts with the task has helped us not to fall behind and can keep up. Without a doubt, the best option for the educational offer of other schools in this quota range. I hope this opinion can help you make a decision.
