riodelmar Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Greetings from Santa Cruz California. Curious. Can anybody tell me what the tuition is for private elementary school in the area? I have a couple of rug rats that age and I think it would be fun to spend some time down there and check out the scene. We are bilingual, our 5 year old daughter is 80% bilingual and our 2 year old son is well on his way to being bilingual. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Any suggestions on where to stay for a month or more? Best time avoiding crowds of people but enjoying the max festivities? Rent $$ etc...Need at least a 2/2. A casita or condo with pool would be awesome. This trip would double as a vacation too. Thanks in advance estimados amigas y amigos. Hasta entonces.

monkey grease Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 I've been trying to find out the same, I have checked on the net. There is around 4 or 5 private schools but it looks like two are for high school age kids. Octavio Paz: Has a campus in far west Ajijic and in Rebires del pilar Chapala (split by grade). https://www.facebook.com/ColegioOctavioPazChapala Terranova: West Ajijic. https://www.facebook.com/institutoterranovaajijic/ Tohui Mocel: West Ajijic. https://www.facebook.com/Tohui-Mocel-863824447044321/ Loyola: San Antonio Tly. https://www.facebook.com/Instituto-Loyola-de-Chapala-435183513210154/ Decroly: Chapala (west end of the boardwalk) https://www.facebook.com/CENTRO-ESCOLAR-DECROLY-136614416370529/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazydog Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 These schools scream "professionalism"! Look at those Facebook pages as main websites. ? I would not enroll my kids here if I were you. I have heard some not so great things about schools hiring non qualified "teachers". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R2D2 Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 My son went to Terranova in 2015, and had the best time of his life, the school was about 4500 pesos a month, he also went to Tohui in 2014, but we had to move him to Terranova due to bullying in Tohui, we had go , but if I return some day, Terranova will be my choice. As far as I know, teachers at Terranova were qualified, and I can tell you my son learned a lot of things and practiced a lot of sports. There were several foreign children in my son's classroom and they learned each other´s languages. The principal, Mr. Blum is a nice person and is always keeping an eye on the school matters.
