Bi-lingual schools in Aguascalientes MX?
My husband and I will be going to AGS. MX for an extended visit(1-2 yrs.).We will be taking our children w/us. They range in age from 8-13. I need information about the schools there. Are there any bilingual schools? Is the education comparable to the education here in the states? What about the cost? Any helpful info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
In Mexican private schools the education is comparable with the US. In 2006, the Mexican Public Education Ministry, started applying a test called ENLACE to all students from 3rd to 6th grade, and to 9th graders.Its goal is to gain more information about the function of the school system in Mexico, both in the public and private schools.
You can see the results of these tests online, and the schools will be in order according to the scores of their students.
You can choose to see only private schools in the city of Aguascalientes. Most high-ranking private schools will surely teach English, you will also see the number of students enrolled in each school. Once you find a name of a school you are interested in, I suggest you google it to find an email address where you can ask for specific information.
Here’s the link to ENLACE:

and go to "Consulta para Ordenamiento de Escuelas por Puntaje"
I already did the search for you and found that Colegio Bosques is the second in ranking in Aguascalientes (the first school only has 8 students), and its partnered with Tec de Monterrey, which gives it a lot of merit. It is bilingual.
As for tuition, it varies greatly from school to school, I would say somewhere around 4 thousand pesos a month for that kind of school.
But it is not the only one, if you go down the list you’ll probably find private schools from around 2 thousand.
I really hope this helps.

Hey, my name is jorge, im 18 and im from aguascalientes, well about if the education here is comparable with the education there… uhm… i guess it is, well i think it depends of the school. And ya, here it is bilingual schools, actually my mom is an english teacher and worked in a school called real del sur which is bi-lingual but its not the only one, it might be others, u can find them out i guess on internet or when u already be in mexico u can find out schools in a "yellow section" ("seccion amarilla") there u can find schools, hospitals, everything u want, its like a directory. One of neighbors could borrow it to ya. about costs? it depends of the school.
I hope to be helpful
good luck and welcome mexico.
