K-12 Private School Enrollment

Mexico's most expensive private high schools have made headlines again following Expansión's report on tuition fees exceeding 500,000 pesos, placing Tecnológico de Monterrey at the center of the debate. Its name leads a group of high-cost schools that public discussion is once again bringing into focus.

La IBERO and Anáhuac share that segment with Tec, as does La Salle, which reappeared on the list of the country's most expensive private institutions. The American School Foundation was also cited in coverage of high tuition fees, reinforcing the idea that the weight of price is concentrated in a small group of schools. Meanwhile, Colegio Peterson keeps its place in the conversation about expensive private schools, and Colegio Ciudad de México and Colegio Suizo de México continue to appear in directories of private high schools circulating this school year. Humanitree has returned to editorial references on private education in Mexico.

At the other end of the debate, the suspension of classes at CCH Sur shifted the educational discussion to UNAM's public school, showing that the conversation about upper secondary education in the capital is not limited to high-cost schools. The result is a picture in which price inequality and concern over educational quality are advancing together.
