This gesture was a small way to recognize and thank those who make the magic happen every day.
At IAB Cumbres, our Formative and Sports Academies Open Classes gave students from all academies the opportunity to share with their parents what they have achieved throughout the semester.

A special thanks to all the coaches, teachers, and coordinators Mayra de León, Edwin Treviño, and Frank Medrano for their dedication, guidance, and commitment to our students’ growth throughout the semester.

Our MYP students, all registered members of the MUN Academy, recently participated in the Secretariat Selection Process for the upcoming in-house Model United Nations at IAB Cumbres. Throughout this process, students demonstrated a high level of commitment and engagement, preparing and delivering short speeches to the MUN Board that reflected their leadership potential, communication skills, and readiness to assume responsibilities within the Secretariat, which will be the team responsible for the organization and leadership of the event.

We shared a small token of appreciation with the K3 to 9th-grade students who actively participated in our Tutor Program, which is led by the Psychology Department at IAB Cumbres.

Thank you for your time, empathy, and for giving other students a warmer, lighter, and more supported start to the school year. Your contribution truly made a difference.

Students presented the altar to their parents with a heartfelt performance, accompanied by the school’s orchestra playing La Llorona. Later, students from all grades visited the altar, where 9th graders shared the significance of this cherished Mexican tradition.

The IAB Colors of the Soul Run filled our community with joy, energy, and a strong sense of togetherness. Families, students, and teachers from both IAB Cumbres and IAB La Fe came together to run, cheer, and celebrate our shared spirit. The event featured impressive presentations from both campuses, catrinas and catrines adding a festive touch, and face painting that brought even more color to the day. This year’s run was especially meaningful as we marked 10 years of IAB Cumbres—ten years of growth, learning, and unity that made moments like this possible. It was a beautiful morning of sportsmanship, connection, and pride in being part of one IAB family.
At IAB Cumbres, Cultural Week is much more than a celebration. It’s a time for students to learn, connect, and appreciate the richness of different cultures. Through African dance classes, musical, theatrical, and sensory performances, they explored new ways of understanding the world around them. We continue to create enriching experiences that nurture curiosity and meaningful learning.
