Colegio Vista Hermosa

What Colegio Vista Hermosa does

Colegio Vista Hermosa is a private K-12 Catholic educational institution operating from a single 40,000 m² campus in the Cuajimalpa de Morelos borough of Mexico City, serving approximately 1,990 students across four academic divisions: Preescolar (preschool, 316 students), Primaria (bilingual elementary), Bachillerato (secondary and preparatory), and Aula de Inclusión (inclusive education for students with disabilities). Founded in 1960 as an educational apostolate of the Oblatos de María Inmaculada (OMI) missionary congregation, the institution is legally operated by ACTIVIDADES DE ALTA CULTURA EN MEXICO, S.C. (RFC: AAC761209D33), a Mexican civil society with non-profit purposes. Its core academic programs are incorporated to Mexico's SEP for preescolar through secundaria and to UNAM for preparatoria, with additional International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme accreditation enabling international university placement.

The school delivers instruction through a Moodle-based Learning Management System (lms.cvh.edu.mx) integrated with Microsoft Teams, supported by a portfolio of supplementary platforms including Cambridge assessments, ALEKS, Acrobatiq, Achieve3000, Progrentis, Knotion, Mahara, and Turnitin, alongside role-based web portals for students, teachers, families, and administrators. Differentiated academic programming includes English proficiency certification (PET for 6th grade primaria, FCE B2 for 1st preparatoria), external assessments (LARSA/MARSA), institutional KIVA anti-bullying protocols, and extracurricular achievement in robotics (MAKEX 2025: 2nd, 3rd, and 5th place) and choir competitions. The institution has held SEMARNAT recognition as Mexico's first 100% sustainable school since 2016 and operates a Sustainability Committee under dedicated leadership.

Revenue is generated almost exclusively through recurring annual tuition and enrollment fees across all four academic levels, supplemented by ancillary services such as uniforms, school supplies, and transportation sold through on-campus administrative units. The school runs a sales-led admissions process via dedicated portals for each program (Preescolar, Primaria, Bachillerato, Aula de Inclusión) with entrance exams and individual family enrollment contracts; no public fee schedule is disclosed. Governance is anchored in the OMI religious congregation and the Oblate charism of founder San Eugenio de Mazenod, with the current Director General being P. José Armando López Díaz, O.M.I., and operations supported by a broad community ecosystem including the Parents Association, Mothers Vocal Association, Alumni Association, Familias Unidas, OSSEM social service, and Catechism programs. No revenue figures are publicly disclosed.
