Forty years ago, five families asked themselves the question: What would be the best school for our family? They considered that the objectives of other schools were insufficient and considered it beneficial to start a new school. This way, in September 1978 we began with less than 100 students from 1º grade Kindergarten to 4th-grade Elementary under the name Liceo de Monterrey™, that operates through Centros Educativos y Culturales A.C. We are a school comprised of families who educate our children and students with the highest standards of international academic excellence and provide Christian humanism formation for them to become leaders who influence and serve society. To become an international reference of education of women with character, critical thinking, and Christian vision so they can become protagonists of their personal development to reach high ideals and serve society. Boys and girls think, behave and mature differently. All-girls education achieves greater academic performance as well as fosters self-esteem, confidence, and the formation of the person based on their essence. This model facilitates the personalization of education according to men's and women’s different paces in maturity and learning, favoring real equality of opportunities. All-girls education is a reality in many countries of our socio-cultural setting, and it is recognized by UNESCO and the European Union. It is scientifically proven that boys’ brain development follows a different process that catches up during adulthood. At age 6, a boy has half the attention span of a girl.
