HighPoint International School by Tecnológico de Monterrey

What HighPoint International School by Tecnológico de Monterrey does

HighPoint International School by Tecnológico de Monterrey is a private, secular, non-profit network of six bilingual secondary schools operating in mid-size Mexican cities — Chihuahua, Ciudad Juárez, Hermosillo, Irapuato, Torreón (Laguna), and Zacatecas (Guadalupe). Founded in 1990 as part of the Tecnológico de Monterrey educational ecosystem, the school serves approximately 71 employees across its six campuses and delivers a three-year Mexican secondary curriculum (covering Matemáticas, Español, Inglés, Historia, Ciencias, Formación Cívica y Ética, Artes, Educación Física) enhanced with two branded academic tracks: the Bicultural program (English language acquisition integrated from year one) and the Multicultural program (50% of subjects taught in English plus a third language, designed for students with prior English proficiency). The core technology is the bilingual curriculum framework and supporting "Tecnologías Aplicadas" modules developed under the Tec de Monterrey umbrella; enrollment is managed through campus-specific Algebraix portals.

The business model is subscription-style recurring tuition paid by enrolled families, supplemented by three scholarship tracks (Socioeconómica, Deportiva, Cultural) and ancillary program fees. Specific pricing is not publicly disclosed; prospective families must engage the six-step admission process (application, documentation, admission fee, entrance exam, committee decision, English proficiency exam) per campus. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and local: each campus operates its own admissions team, hosts information sessions and tours, runs the MODERS parenting gira to engage current and prospective parents, and relies on referral programs among enrolled families. Marketing channels include a central website (highpointschool.mx), six campus-specific social media accounts on Facebook and Instagram, periodic newsletters (e.g., May 2024 edition), and direct phone/email contact. Distribution is entirely direct — no third-party resellers, no channel partners; each campus is a self-contained service delivery and enrollment point.

The school operates a Borregos athletics network (basketball, soccer, volleyball, flag football, athletics, archery), cultural and arts programs (dance, music, theater, choir), student leadership councils, and FIRST Tech Challenge robotics teams (notably MechRams 18341 in Chihuahua, which qualified for the 2024 World Championship in Houston, and Legacy in Hermosillo, which advanced to the National Tournament). Core strategic partners include Olweus (anti-bullying program), Character.Org (character development certification), FIRST (robotics), PrepaTec (seamless upper-secondary transition), and the parent Tecnológico de Monterrey network. Revenue, exact enrollment figures, and tuition pricing are not publicly disclosed.

Direct peers

• Colegio Vista Hermosa: Private K-12 school in Mexico with bilingual programs and international orientation. Comparable in target market (upper-middle-class Mexican families seeking English-proficient secondary education) and curricular structure.
• Greengates School: Private British-style school in Mexico City serving families seeking international secondary credentials. Comparable to HighPoint as a private bilingual operator targeting globally minded Mexican families, though with a stronger British/international curriculum orientation.
• Eton School: Eton School is a private K-12 bilingual institution in Mexico with multiple campuses. Comparable to HighPoint in offering dual-language secondary education to upper-middle-class families in mid-size Mexican cities.
• Instituto Asunción de México: Catholic private K-12 school in Mexico City with strong bilingual and international programs. Comparable to HighPoint in serving families who prioritize English proficiency, values formation, and seamless university transition.
• Peterson Schools: Peterson Schools is a private K-12 network in Mexico offering bilingual/international programs with multiple campuses. Directly comparable to HighPoint as a domestic private school operator delivering English-language curriculum and international formative experiences to Mexican families.
• Westhill Institute: Private K-12 institution in Mexico City providing bilingual education with international programs. Comparable as a private Mexican school operator delivering English-language curriculum and values-based formation to similar family segments.

Broad incumbents

• Colegio de Bachilleres: Public upper-secondary institution across Mexico. Not directly competitive (public vs. private), but represents the baseline secondary education option in the same geographies HighPoint serves, defining the affordable alternative HighPoint is priced above.
• Edron Academy: One of Mexico City's most established private K-12 international schools offering IB programs. Comparable as a high-end alternative for families seeking international secondary credentials, though at a significantly higher price point and within Mexico City's primary market.
• PrepaTec: Upper-secondary (preparatoria) network within Tecnológico de Monterrey that HighPoint students feed into. Not a direct competitor but a sibling institution under the same parent; comparison is relevant because PrepaTec sets the academic continuity standard HighPoint is designed to match.

Regional players

• American School of Guadalajara: American college-preparatory school in Guadalajara serving primarily expatriate and Mexican families. Comparable in offering English-language secondary education with international orientation, but with a heavier US-accreditation focus than HighPoint's Mexican-curriculum base.
