Instituto Anglo Británico - Campus Cumbres

Our Magic Christmas Movie Night at IAB Cumbres brought our community together for an evening full of Christmas spirit. Families gathered to enjoy the festive atmosphere with Christmas lights, Santa’s visit, and seasonal snacks as our community enjoyed the movie together. The moment reminded us that magic can be found in being together, embracing the moment, and sharing smiles. Surrounded by the glow of our campus and our community, we experienced a magical Christmas moment together.

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.

This experience provided students with an authentic opportunity to step forward with confidence, articulate their ideas, and take an active role in the organization of the conference. Following the selection process, letters of appointment were delivered to formally announce the Secretariat, marking an important milestone in their leadership journey. We are proud of our students for embracing this meaningful experience, which strengthens their voice, sense of responsibility, and leadership within our school community.

Curiosity and global learning took center stage last month as our 6th–8th grade MYP students presented an immersive exhibition inspired by Europe, Asia, and Africa. Families explored interactive displays, enjoyed cultural presentations, and even tasted typical dishes prepared for the event.

Their dedication and creativity made this “journey around the world” a meaningful experience for everyone who attended.

Families from Elementary also enjoyed a special moment last month as students presented their Cultural Week Exhibitions. Each grade researched and explored a different country—Morocco, Italy, Greece, Norway, and Canada—and shared what they learned through creative projects and presentations.
Their confidence, teamwork, and excitement for discovering new cultures truly stood out. Thank you for joining us and supporting their learning.

Last month, our youngest learners from Nursery to Kinder 3 opened their classrooms to families for our Preschool Cultural Week Exhibitions. Parents had the chance to see what their children inquired about, explored, and created while learning about Japan, New Zealand, Kenya, Australia, and India.
It was a joyful moment to watch our little explorers share their discoveries, projects, and growing curiosity about the world. Thank you, families, for being part of their learning journey.

Our incredible dance team poured their hearts into the stage—and the results say it all. We are thrilled to share that they earned First Place in both the Preschool and the Elementary–Middle School categories, showcasing talent, discipline, and a vibrant energy that lit up the entire venue.

But that wasn’t all…

They also received the Special Award for Best Production of the Event, standing out for their costumes, staging, and overall performance, which captivated everyone in attendance.

We couldn’t be prouder of each of our dancers, who represented our school with passion, dedication, and contagious joy. Their effort shone through every movement.

We extend a very special thank-you to their coach, Miss Karen Treviño, for her dedication, guidance, and preparation leading up to this event.

And of course, our gratitude to all the families who joined us. Your enthusiasm, support, and constant encouragement made this day truly unforgettable.

Thank you for being part of such a meaningful achievement.
May this be only the beginning of many successes to come.

We are excited to share that our Parkour Academy held its first event of the year at Leya Sports on Sunday, November 9, where our students achieved excellent results.

We are very proud of each of them and we extend our gratitude to their coach, José Antonio Ríos, who guides them every day with dedication, hard work, and perseverance to help them reach their goals. We also thank all the parents, who supported and encouraged their children with great enthusiasm. Thank you for your trust and constant support.

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.

During the first weeks of school, they stayed close to our new students: guiding them around campus, supporting them through their first moments, answering their questions, and—above all—helping them feel confident and part of our community from day one.

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.

As part of our ongoing commitment to support our staff with the tools needed to deliver a strong International Baccalaureate experience, members of our team participated in the official IBAMEX training held in Mexico City this past October. This opportunity strengthens teaching practices and directly benefits student learning.

We were proudly represented by Ms. Yaneth Leos, Ms. Cynthia García, Ms. Mariana Peña, and Ms. Ana Lorena Robles, who continue to expand their knowledge within the IB framework.

We remain committed to fostering continuous growth and excellence for our teachers, our students, and our school community.

Last Thursday, October 30th, our students filled IAB Cumbres with color, creativity, and tradition during Catrinas’ Costume Day.
Dressed as elegant catrinas and catrines, they honored one of Mexico’s most emblematic traditions — Día de Muertos — celebrating life, remembrance, and cultural pride. Through their costumes, makeup, and joy, our students kept alive the spirit of this beautiful tradition that unites us as a community.

The 9th-grade students at IAB Cumbres thoughtfully put together this year’s Altar de Muertos, dedicated to Kobe Bryant. With contributions from our entire community, the altar became a meaningful space to honor life and remember those who continue to inspire us.
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.

Throughout this week, our students brought their Cultural Week discoveries to life through fun art workshops. Painting, crafting, and other hands-on activities allowed them to explore different countries in imaginative ways, nurturing their curiosity and love for learning about the world.

Some workshops were led by IAB parents, who also joined with talks to share their knowledge and experiences about the countries studied, giving students an even deeper understanding and connection to the cultures they explored.

This Monday, we kicked off Cultural Week 2025: Voices of the World, a celebration of courage, culture, and connection that encourages appreciation and respect for diverse cultures. Our opening show featured pre-Hispanic dance and Catrinas welcoming our students — vibrant tributes to Mexican heritage. The flag parade highlighted cultural facts about the countries our students are exploring, promoting global awareness and curiosity about the world around us.

Throughout this week, students enjoyed presentations, traditions, and cultural experiences that inspire learning and connection!

Last week, our MYP IV students visited Prepa UDEM, where they had the opportunity to explore the campus, attend a sample class, and experience what it’s like to be a high school student.

They also continued their journey at Prepa Tec, enjoying another exciting day of learning, exploration, and inspiration for the next stage of their academic path.

We are proud to see our students getting a glimpse of the future and preparing to make informed choices for what’s ahead!

The third edition of “Amor Propio, Amor Familiar: Nutriendo el corazón y la mente” has begun, with 25 families joining this meaningful journey of reflection and growth. This workshop, led by Julia Bautista and Fabiola Villarreal, will guide participants through the principles of Conscious Discipline, helping them discover ways to strengthen emotional connection, deepen self-awareness, and bring more empathy and calm into everyday family life. Today, and over the next sessions, families will engage in activities and reflections that support these skills.

With heartfelt solidarity, the contributions from our community left today for Poza Rica, Veracruz, thanks to a campaign organized by the Ruiz Gutiérrez family, part of our IAB community. The food and essential supplies we received at our school will support those affected by the recent floods in the region. A big thank you to everyone who donated, showing a powerful example of empathy, generosity, and collective action in support of others.

Rebeca Guzmán Muñoz was awarded the Academic Talent Scholarship for achieving the highest average in 6th grade during the 2024–2025 school year. Her dedication and hard work set a shining example for her peers. We continue to celebrate her achievement and the inspiration it brings to our community!
