The school year consists of a total of 187 days and extends from September to June. The School is governed by a 9-member School Board comprised of parents and interested members of the community. The Board has the same responsibilities and authority as public school boards in the United States. Members are appointed by a Board of Founders and serve for 5 years. The curriculum is that of general academic public schools in the United States and Mexico.
Instruction is in English and Spanish.
Both English and Spanish are offered as a second language. Strong emphasis is placed on individualized instruction, second language acquisition, cooperative teaching, and individualized study techniques. Pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, and transitional first grade are total English immersion programs. In grades 1-6, students are enrolled in the U.S. program one half of the day and in the Mexican program one half of the day. In grades 7-9, all instruction is in English, supplemented by special classes in English and Spanish as second languages, in addition to extensive computer studies, music, and physical education.
