Instituto Anglo Británico - Campus Cumbres

Today, our community at IAB Cumbres took part in the 2025 National Drill. This exercise allowed students and staff to practice safety protocols and reinforce the importance of being prepared in case of an emergency. Safety is not just a practice—it’s a commitment we all share!

Today, we celebrated Peace Day at IAB Cumbres. Our students wore white as a symbol of unity and hope, and joined in activities and reflections that encouraged them to think about what peace means and how to nurture it in their daily lives, both within our school community and beyond.

This week, we hosted the Welcome to PYP and Welcome to MYP Talk, an important moment for our new families and 6th graders joining the MYP programme. The talk gave them a chance to learn about our school’s values, programmes, and what to expect in their journey at IAB. Following the session, each new family was introduced to their Ambassador Family, who will support them, share experiences, and guide them along the way. This program helps newcomers feel at home from day one while strengthening connections across our community.

At IAB Cumbres we celebrated Mexican Day with our students proudly wearing traditional outfits, filling the school with the colors and spirit of Mexico. It was a special occasion to come together as a community and honor our rich culture and traditions.

This week we enjoyed our Representative Parents Brunch, a special gathering with our representatives and link parents to share, connect, and learn more about their role. This brunch was also a token of appreciation for their commitment to the IAB Cumbres community. Together with all our families, they help us keep building a strong and supportive community.

Our MYP II Biology students visited the laboratory to take their learning about the properties of life a step further. After discussing how cellular organization is one of the key characteristics that defines living things, students had the chance to put theory into practice.

Using microscopes, they prepared wet mounts of red onion peel and carefully observed the cells. They also learned how to create scientific drawings of what they saw under the microscope.

This hands-on exploration sets the stage for their next steps: identifying cell organelles and comparing the structure of plant and animal cells (our next lab will focus on observing mucosal cells for that comparison).

Curiosity, observation, and discovery — key skills in action!

A new journey begins! Baby Phoenix kicked off this week with Ms. Betzy Carlos guiding our youngest learners through their first Early Stimulation sessions. Over the school year, these little ones will explore movement, language, and sensory play in a nurturing environment that helps them grow with confidence. We look forward to witnessing their milestones and to seeing them become part of our IABC community.

Today was our Open House at IAB Cumbres! Families met teachers, explored new classrooms, and got a glimpse of all the learning and fun ahead. We can’t wait to see everyone on Monday and keep building that sense of community and belonging. The 2025–2026 school year is here, and our halls are ready to be filled with laughter, energy, and the joy of learning. Go Phoenixes!

That’s a wrap on Phoenix Summer Camp 2025! We closed out the summer with “Outrageous & Outlandish,” a week full of creativity, color, and all things wild, wacky, and wonderfully weird.

Thank you to every camper who brought the energy, every family who supported us, and every staff member who gave their all to make this summer so memorable.

Enjoy the rest of your break—we can’t wait to welcome you back in just a few weeks to start an exciting new school year together!

Last week at IAB Cumbres Phoenix Summer Camp, our theme was “The Extraordinary You: Discover the superpower that makes you one of a kind.” Campers spent the days having fun, expressing themselves, and celebrating what makes them unique. From start to finish, it was a lively and upbeat week filled with creativity, confidence, and plenty of summer joy.

This week at Phoenix Summer Camp 2025, Myth, Magic and Make-Believe added a playful spark to each day as campers took on new challenges, worked on creative projects, and enjoyed plenty of outdoor fun. From team activities to hands-on exploration, the focus remained on building friendships, trying new things, and having a great time together. There was a strong sense of curiosity and collaboration in the air, and it’s been exciting to see how each camper continues to grow. With the summer in full swing, there’s still so much to look forward to—Go Phoenixes!

Marking a meaningful milestone, we celebrated as our 9th graders completed their journey at IAB Cumbres. The ceremony was filled with special moments, including the school honor guard passing the flag to the 8th graders—symbolizing the continuing legacy of our community. A few students shared a beautiful performance of “Wonderwall,” and the valedictorian delivered an inspiring speech. We warmly congratulate all our graduates and already feel how much we will miss them as they embark on new adventures beyond our school family.

Last Wednesday was a memorable day as we celebrated the graduation of our amazing 5th graders from the Primary Years Programme. The ceremony was filled with heartfelt moments, especially through special performances where students proudly showcased their unique talents to family and friends. We congratulate all the graduates for their hard work and dedication as they prepare to embark on the exciting next step into middle school.

With joy and pride, we celebrated the Kinder 3 Graduation, honoring our little stars as they reach this important milestone. The children sang a heartfelt song for their parents, filling the ceremony with pure emotion as they prepare to begin elementary school. The event also included a touching school honor guard handover to the new K3 students — a moment full of hope and new beginnings.

Last Friday we said goodbye to our 9th grade students in a heartfelt tradition. They paraded through the halls of IAB Cumbres one last time, walking between all the students of our school who came out to cheer them on. Their proud parents waited at the end, ready to celebrate this special moment. To close, 8th grade gifted them a farewell song they wrote and sang—a beautiful tradition that always moves us. We’ll miss you, Class of 2025. Go and achieve amazing things!
