Vivaaaa! On Tuesday, September 15, EFAD came alive with the colors and rhythms of Mexico to mark the Independence Day celebrations.
Welcome to École Française D'Alembert et Diderot (EFAD)
A local school open to the world.
Our Commitment
Much more than a school. A community where every child finds their place and grows in confidence in the world.
School Community
At EFAD, we are a school community, and that is precisely our strength. Here, teachers know each student by name, families become a community, and each child learns, in French and Spanish, to think freely and to open themselves up to the world.
Value Proposition
Founded with the same curiosity that motivated D'Alembert and Diderot, the philosophers who believed that knowledge should belong to everyone, EFAD has spent years training girls and boys who think, question, and relate to the world.
Education not only opens doors to the future; it also transforms the present. At EFAD, our students grow up in a close-knit, bilingual, and multicultural community where each one is supported in their development. And they do so within the AEFE network (Agency for French Education Abroad), the largest French education network in the world, which offers them an internationally recognized academic program and the opportunity to continue their studies in France and at schools around the world.
A True Community
We are a community where parents know each other, teachers remember every story, and children learn among friends from different countries.
International certification
We are part of the AEFE (Agency for French Education Abroad): the French education network that guarantees the recognition of studies in France and worldwide. A local achievement with global reach.
EcoSchool with Green Flag
We are one of the few schools in Mexico recognized with the Green Flag of the Eco-Schools program and with the AEFE flag, EFE3D. The garden, composting, ecological thinking, and respect for biodiversity are not special projects—they are part of our daily life.
Bilingualism from the start
Our students learn in French and Spanish from preschool onwards, not as just another subject, but as their second language for life. And if your child doesn't speak French when they arrive, we have a language integration support classroom starting in elementary school that will allow them to integrate quickly.
EFAD Life
EFAD is not just described, it's felt. We invite you to experience it.

Dear EFAD families, it has now been a few days since we had the pleasure of seeing you again, and what a joy to see our hallways and classrooms come back to life! Since Tuesday, smiles and reunions have already filled our daily life... The whole teaching team is delighted to have welcomed your children, reconnected with familiar faces, and met the new students joining our community. It is always a special moment, full of emotion and positive energy.
What an exceptional literary adventure for Cycle 3 students! From the selection within our school to the Zone AMLANORD finals, the read-aloud contest "Read and Celebrate Languages" (which this year succeeds the Little Champions de la Lectura format) celebrated the eloquence, talent, and passion of our young readers...
