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.

ecoescuela

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

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.
