The public school system can vary extensively in quality depending on the area in question. The big cities generally offer bigger schools with more amenities and better trained teachers, while the smaller towns and pueblos can be a one room affair. There is an abundance of private schools in most cities but these too can vary considerably in quality.

Many expatriates use home schooling materials either in place of a Mexican school, or in addition to it. Also, some expats feel that being immersed in a school with Spanish speakers affords a great learning opportunity for their children.

Whatever you decide, it is important to thoroughly check out any school that you are considering for your children.
