History

Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. The school was established in 1894, situated on Canoa Street in Mexico City. By 1900, the number of students was approaching 300,[citation needed] including students from outside the German community. In 1940, a campus in Tacubaya was opened, and by 1968 the Civil Association "Alexander von Humboldt" is created,[clarification needed] named after the German naturalist and explorer. The institution had incorporated itself into the Mexican Educational System,[when?] so students could obtain either Mexican or German certificates. By 1970, two additional campuses were opened and over 1000 students attended the school.

The association currently has 3 main campuses, and additionally a Kindergarten, and an Elementary School. The unaffiliated Club Alemán de México is used as a cultural and athletic facility by the German community.

Language of classes

Most subjects are taught in German, and children are required to be bi-lingual, unless they are starting Kindergarten.
