Located in the municipality of Ciudad Satélite in Naucalpan, Kipling Satélite opened in 1963 with a preschool offering and has since expanded into a through school teaching from Pre-K (age 3) to Grade 12 (age 18). Satélite features outside sports fields, breakout areas, libraries, technology suites, basketball courts, science labs, an artificial football pitch, and an indoor gymnasium.

Kipling School has a well-earned reputation for high-quality teaching and outstanding academic results.”

Cecilia De La Vega, Principal of Kipling Satélite, said: “We are very excited to be joining Nord Anglia Education and making the most of all the benefits this will bring to our international school community.

Teachers and students will further benefit from Nord Anglia’s pioneering global research into metacognition, which helps students discover how they learn best and how to adapt their thinking styles to thrive in different situations. Nord Anglia’s research is being conducted in collaboration with Boston College while also working with Project Zero, a research centre at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, on teacher-focused metacognition studies.

Other exclusive experiences around the world include global expeditions to Nord Anglia’s dedicated facilities in Tanzania and Switzerland, as well as its regional sporting and performing arts events.
