Wellcome to the Elementary School
As the Humboldt School´s Primary School principal, I would like to cordially invite you to visit our web page in order to always be well informed of school events as well as get to know us better.
Our teachers offer students a trilingual education based upon the Humboldt School´s values. Our objective is to develop students abilities in accordance to their age and developmental stage. This is reinforced through a learning culture focused on transmitting aptitudes such as independences, creativity, team work and a solution-based approach to problem solving.
Given that you have trusted us with your children´s emotional development, we intend, pedagogically speaking, to show them that one learns not only with one´s head, but with one´s body and soul as well. Students, parents and teachers together create a school life complete with parties and celebrations. In addition, students have demonstrated a committment to and a passion for the arts. Furthermore, they have demonstrated that physical effort works hand in hand with a sense of fair play, team spirit and continuous effort in and out of the sporting world.
We are convinced that continuous collaboration with parents will help us better prepare students to face a complex and globalized world without having to lose their personal and cultural facets. Let us carry out our institution´s vision: Humboldt School is the best bicultural and trilingual option in the City of Puebla, from Kindergarten to High School.
