WorldSchool Isla

About Us:

We are a bilingual project-based education program located on the Caribbean island of Isla Mujeres, Mexico with international students between the ages of 7 - 12 and a minimum enrollment of one month. We have one lead teacher from the United States (bi-lingual native English speaker and Montessori teacher) and a Spanish teacher/teacher's assistant (bi-lingual local native Spanish speaker).  

The maximum number of students is 15 due to the physical space available at the school as well as to ensure that students receive individual attention and instruction from our teachers.

We hold regular scheduled school days from 9am-3pm with an open invitation for parent and community volunteer participation. The children leave the classroom as much as possible to learn from the world around us and there are PE and Music classes twice a week.
