The Olinca Mission, ‘The Forming of Better Human Beings’, is
based on an education of academic and formative excellence.
Our programs are appraised, endorsed and certified at
national level by the SEP and the UNAM, and at international
level by the IB and the International Schools Association (ISA).
Talent, enthusiasm, rigorous dedication and commitment
are clearly evident in the results of the programs of the
Mexican educational authorities, the IB programmes that
Olinca pioneered in México in 1980, and developed in
kindergarten, primary, the middle years and high school, and
our own eight enriching institutional programs.
1. Technology of Information: the tools for the development
of skills, from the handling of computers to robotics and
Radiolinca.
2. Art: the multiple forms of artistic expression.
3. Languages: the acquisition of three languages, Spanish,
English and French, with international certifications in
each.
4. Nationalism – Internationalism: our motto ‘One Home
the Earth, One Family Mankind’, portrays our school-toschool
exchange program in Mexico and the world over in
more than 23 countries.
5. Sports and Physical Education: stimulation of physical
and mental capacities and skills in soccer, basketball,
karate, chess, cheerleading and other activities.
6. Ecology – Care and Concern for Health and the Environment:
for more than 15 years Olinca has been deeply concerned in
creating an ecological conscience and in making it part of our
daily life, providing at the same time healthful habits for a
wholesome lifestyle under our motto, ‘As Mankind Is, So Shall
the Earth Be’.
7. Formation, Development and Community Service:
definition, interpretation and clear understanding of the
meaning of values: responsibility, generosity and a joyous
celebration of attitudes, deeds and objectives, and the
commitment to community service. Olinca is involved in
14 community projects with excellent results.
8. Academics: stimulation of intellectual curiosity and the
strengthening of justified, logical and critical processes of
reasoning.
