We are proud to share that Gerardo Hugo Rodríguez Arias, a student at IAB Cumbres, successfully passed his exam to earn the red-black belt in Tae Kwon Do this past Sunday, June 8th.
Gerardo began his Tae Kwon Do journey at IAB Cumbres as a white belt back in Kindergarten, and after years of dedication, he has now reached the highest rank awarded to children under 15. His new belt, embroidered with his name and “1st POOM,” marks a significant milestone in his growth and commitment.
His perseverance and achievement make us incredibly proud. Congratulations, Gerardo!
Book Fair 2025 at IAB Cumbres was a celebration of imagination, curiosity, and the magic of reading.
With our Dr. Seuss theme, “From here to there, books take you anywhere,” the week was filled with special moments—from book presentations by author and community member Carlos Calles, to visits from students and parents who explored and enjoyed every corner of the fair.
Parents also joined us in classrooms to read and lead creative activities, making the experience even more meaningful.
We closed the week with Book Character Day, where students came dressed as their favorite characters or authors, bringing stories to life across our campus.
Thank you to our entire community for making it unforgettable.

We are thrilled to share that our students from 7th to 9th grade participated in an incredible Leadership Program provided by Harvard University!
During three intensive days, our students developed essential 21st-century skills such as negotiation, public speaking, and teamwork. These skills came to life in their Passion Project—an initiative where each team brought forward innovative ideas close to their hearts.
Their projects were evaluated by Harvard staff using the Shark Tank method—a challenging and exciting opportunity where students pitched their ideas with confidence, creativity, and purpose.
We are so proud of the courage, talent, and growth our students demonstrated.
This experience reflects the importance we place on real-world learning and preparing our students to lead with vision and impact.
Proud to be Phoenix!
9th grade students from IAB Cumbres have been working on a powerful community project as part of their Design class, led by Teacher Sandra Chapa.
During all the school year, they designed and built different structures at school using materials like wood and cement, and tools such as drills, hammers, and sanders. They then brought everything to Centro Educativo Libertad Dolores Morales de Lobo, where they installed a playground, a soccer area, shaded rest zones, and other useful spaces for students to enjoy and learn in.
With the support of their mentors, this project became a true example of creativity, teamwork, and meaningful service.
We’re excited to share that Ms. Daniela Padilla and Ms. Mayela Najera have completed the Diplomado en Innovación Educativa at TEC de Monterrey! Throughout this program, they explored cutting-edge practices in education, focusing on creating, applying, and assessing innovative teaching methods.
Their commitment to professional growth reflects our continued mission to enrich learning experiences and support every student’s potential.
At IAB Cumbres, we grow together.
Our students from IAB Cumbres had the wonderful opportunity to visit the Centro de las Artes at Universidad de Monterrey (UDEM)!

This week at IAB Cumbres, we celebrated the heart of our community—our families. From our youngest learners to our older students, everyone took time to connect with their parents through meaningful experiences filled with joy, creativity, and love. Classrooms became spaces for spa moments, memory games, hand-drawn portraits, shared creations, and tender rituals that reminded us of the importance of being present. It was a week to slow down, express gratitude, and honor the bonds that shape us—at school, at home, and beyond.
