Hooray! On Tuesday, September 15, EFAD came alive with the colors and rhythms of Mexico as part of the Independence Day celebrations.
Welcome to the École Française D'Alembert et Diderot (EFAD)
A local school with a passport to the world.
Our Commitment
So much more than just a school. A community where every child finds their place and their path to the world.
School Community
At EFAD, we are a school community, and that is precisely our strength. Here, teachers know every student by name, families come together as a community, and every child learns—in French and Spanish—to think freely and to open themselves up to the world.
Value Proposition
Founded with the same curiosity that inspired D'Alembert and Diderot—the philosophers who believed that knowledge should be accessible to all—EFAD has spent years educating girls and boys to think, question, and engage with the world.
Education not only opens doors to the future; it also transforms the present. At EFAD, our students grow up in a close-knit, bilingual, and multicultural community where each student is supported in their development. And they do so within the AEFE (Agency for French Education Abroad) network—the largest French education network in the world—which offers them an internationally recognized academic program and the opportunity to continue their studies in France and at schools around the world.
Comunidad Real
We are a community where parents know each other, teachers remember every story, and children learn alongside friends from different countries.
International Certification
We are part of the AEFE (Agency for French Education Abroad): the French education network that ensures the recognition of academic credentials in France and around the world. A local achievement with global reach.
EcoSchool with the Green Flag
We are one of the few schools in Mexico to have been awarded the Eco-Schools Green Flag and the AEFE, EFE3D flag. The garden, composting, environmental awareness, and respect for biodiversity are not special projects—they are part of our daily routine.
Bilingualism from the Start
Our students learn in French and Spanish starting in preschool—not as just another subject, but as their second language for everyday life. And if your child doesn’t speak French when they arrive, we have a classroom with language integration support starting in elementary school that will help them adapt quickly.
Vida EFAD
EFAD isn't just something you read about—it's something you experience. We invite you to discover it for yourself.

Dear EFAD families, it’s been a few days since we had the pleasure of seeing you again—and what a joy it is to see our hallways and classrooms come alive once more! Since Tuesday, smiles and reunions have been a part of our daily lives... The entire teaching staff is delighted to have welcomed your children back, to see familiar faces again, and to meet the new students joining our community. It’s always a special moment, full of excitement and positive energy.
What an exceptional literary adventure for the Cycle 3 students! From the school-wide selection process to the AMLANORD Zone finals, the “Leer y Celebrar los Idiomas” read-aloud contest (which this year replaces the Little Champions of Reading format) highlighted the eloquence, talent, and passion of our young readers...
