Greengates is the only fully accredited international school in Mexico to deliver both the IEYC and IPC. Academic delivery is supported by flagship collaborations with MIT (STEAM) and The Juilliard School (performing arts), with the school holding three consecutive invitations to the MIT-Nord Anglia STEAM experience. The student body comprises 45+ nationalities speaking 15 languages, with more than 50% of teachers internationally recruited and holding UK Qualified Teacher Status. Campus facilities include four high-tech computer labs, nine science labs, three theatres (Blackbox, 120-seat, and 700-seat auditorium), three art studios, a photography dark room, two music rooms, an outdoor swimming pool, football and basketball courts, a gym with climbing wall, and an organic learning garden. Academic outcomes include a 2022 IBDP average of 33.7 versus a global average of 31.98, with 5% of candidates achieving the perfect 45 points.

Greengates generates revenue through recurring tuition across its five educational programs; tuition is not publicly disclosed and prospective families must contact the admissions office directly. Distribution is single-channel and direct-to-consumer via on-campus enrollment, supported by campus tours, virtual discovery meetings, Open House events, and a 360-degree virtual tour. The GTM targets two primary segments: expatriate and international families in the Mexico City metropolitan area, and wealthy Mexican families seeking globally recognized credentials for university admission abroad. Marketing leverages the school's website, active Facebook/Instagram/LinkedIn presence, email communications, and the credibility of the Nord Anglia parent brand. Graduates regularly matriculate at top universities in the UK, US, Canada, Europe, and Asia. Eamonn Mullally serves as General Director.
