Colegio del Bosque

What Colegio del Bosque does

Colegio del Bosque, operating as Del Bosque International School, is a private Catholic bilingual K-12 institution located in the Bosques de las Lomas neighborhood of Cuajimalpa de Morelos, Mexico City. Founded in 1977 (per company-history records; firmographics record 1974), the school delivers continuous education across four levels — Preescolar, Primaria, Secundaria, and Bachillerato — and employs approximately 152 staff. It is a member of the Red de Colegios Semper Altius, an international Catholic bilingual school network implementing the Regnum Christi educational model across 19 countries with 65 years of collective network experience and over 70,000 alumni, including 55 schools in Mexico alone.

The school's product offering centers on a proprietary bilingual curriculum (Modelo Educativo y Pedagógico Semper Altius) with measurable English proficiency outcomes — B2 by Middle School and C1 by High School under the Common European Framework — backed by Cambridge Assessment International Education and Oxford University Press. Differentiated instruction includes gender-separated academic classrooms with mixed social environments for extracurricular activities, supported by integrated technology certifications (Microsoft Office Specialist via Certiport, Autodesk), a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 robotics curriculum at the secundaria level, College Board programs (SAT, AP, Pre-AP), and a virtues-based socioemotional program (COBU / Corazón Bueno). Institutional credentials include Cognia international accreditation, Apple Distinguished School recognition, and affiliation with international Catholic movements (Regnum Christi, ECYD, Forzza). International exposure is provided through exchange-style programs including a UN Model in New York and NASA technology camps.

The business model is tuition-based recurring revenue across the four academic levels, with annual billing cycles and quote-based pricing not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer and entirely local: prospective families engage through the school website, phone, email, and on-campus visits, then complete a multi-step admissions process culminating in on-campus student evaluation and enrollment. The school operates from a single campus at Bosque de Huizaches 3, Bosques de las Lomas, CDMX, with no second site, and functions as a constituent member of the Semper Altius network rather than as an independently financed enterprise — no venture funding, equity issuance, or M&A signals are present.
