What William Caxton College does

William Caxton College (legal name: Unidad Educativa Particular Bilingüe William Caxton College) is a private bilingual K-12 school founded on September 7, 2007, and headquartered in the Ponceano Alto neighborhood of Quito, Ecuador. The institution serves children and adolescents from Pre-School through High School (Bachillerato) through a Spanish-English bilingual instructional model, with 50% of curriculum delivered in English. Its educational model is built on two internationally recognized frameworks: the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme, recognized for university admission in 100+ countries, and Cambridge English certification (KEY, PET, FIRST, and TOEFL preparation), targeting B2-C1 English proficiency by university entry. The school also integrates a New Technologies curriculum covering artificial intelligence, robotics, and blockchain from early levels, alongside enrichment programs in arts (theatre, dance, music) and sports (football, basketball, volleyball, chess).

The school employs 42 staff and operates from a single Quito campus. Its go-to-market is direct-to-consumer: families engage via online enrollment portals for the 2026 school year, matriculation workflows for returning students, WhatsApp (+593 98 536 6206), and a dedicated admissions email ([email protected]). The school maintains an active digital presence on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube, and publishes blog content to attract prospective families. Revenue is generated through recurring tuition fees, supplemented by enrollment fees, student insurance fees, and optional transportation fees, consistent with a subscription-style K-12 private school revenue model. The school is led by Rector MSc. Dino Molina Villacís and Vicerrector MSc. Iván Chávez Grijalva, and self-reports as one of the top 20 schools in Ecuador. It has established partnerships with ASECCBI, CORPEDUCAR, HABILMIND, International House Quito, and several higher education institutions to support its IB/Cambridge pathway.
