The Colegio Ibero was founded in the year 1990 by Adriana H. Munoz and Laura Elena Holguin with one primary objective: to bring bilingual education of the highest caliber to Cd. Juarez, Mexico.

The school began in a modest building which was outfitted to serve as a school. The first class consisted of only 12 kindergarten students, but the idea resonated and after one year, The Colegio had to find a new and larger home, this time with over 50 students enrolled in its programs. For the next two years demand for a high quality bilingual education outpaced supply, and so in 1994, The Colegio Ibero found its first permanent location. This building had sixteen classrooms, a gym, a play ground area, science laboratories, a small cafeteria and a daycare.

The program was so successful, even through the crippling economic crisis that Mexico suffered in the 1990’s, that The Colegio Ibero was able to open a new and larger location. In 2002, the building which currently houses ourmain campus was built in the most desirable part of the city. The property has an extension of four acres; the building is equipped with an energy efficient artificial climate system, closed circuit security systems, and point of entry card readers to restrict access tounauthorized persons.

Our students now enjoy full use of a modern building having over twenty classrooms, a

well equipped sciences laboratory, a music and theatre hall, a computer science laboratory, playground areas, a soccer field, a Tae-Kwon-Do gym, basketball courts, a gymnastics facility and beautiful gardens.

Vision Our Vision is that every person involved with our institution be proud to be a part of the extended Ibero family. Proud because we are an academy dedicated to the development of students in all of their capacities through the best curriculums. Proud because our staff is committed to its pedagogical mission and because this is an institution where values are taught by examples, where individuality is respected, and where we promise to deliver humans capable of achieving success at the highest levels, of living a balanced life, and of creating a brighter tomorrow.

MissionOur Mission is to provide a high quality and well rounded education by creating an ideal space in which balanced, ethical, and highly capable individuals can flourish and develop their capacity to overcome all obstacles. We work to deliver on this by:

Consolidating and maintaining an institution committed to a cosmopolitan and multicultural education, without the sacrifice of academic integrity, in which the goals shared by your family and our academy can best be achieved.

About UsIBERO ACADEMY | 2013-2014 PARENTS’ MANUAL


The objective of Ibero Academy’s bilingual and multicultural program is the student’s development of the knowledge and abilities necessary to achieve full fluency in the English and Spanish languages. The program also lays the foundations for future study of diverse cultures and their languages, specifically Mandarin Chinese, which we proudly offer from Preschool.

Acquiring and mastering any language requires time, practice and careful study. Ibero Academy’s Bilingual Program is characterized by the amount of time and effort that is dedicated to the development of activities in which students can practice and gain confidence.

Ibero Academy meets all requirements set by the State of Texas. In addition, we offer a diverse menu of programs in areas like English Language and Literature, the Humanities, the Natural Sciences, New Technologies, Physical Education, Music and the Arts.

Students learn both English and Spanish natively from the youngest age. Ibero Academy’s unique curriculum provides for an authentic linguistic immersion for the student, who develops the ability to perform in class, complete assignments, and communicate fluently with teachers and classmates in both languages and across subjects.

This Bilingual and Multicultural education is guided by highly specialized teachers and constitutes a clear differentiating factor between Ibero Academy and other schools in the region.

Bilingual and Multicultural Program

Preschool DivisionIbero Academy’s Preschool Division applies an active methodology designed to develop the child’s cognitive capacities and ensure his or her adequate socialization.

Our method encourages the development of knowledge through experience, games, and early stimulus. We use the visual, manual, and auditory mediums as part of an integrated paradigm that encourages the child to learn by doing and thereby to satisfy his natural curiosity.

Early education is structured atop several fundamental pillars. These include: habits,

psychomotor skills, cognitive development, reading and writing, and the development of linguistic skills in both Spanish and English.

Our teaching staff employs a curriculum, called the Integrated Development Program, which we have designed for the development of abilities, competencies, values, and attitudes.

As educators, we understand that Preschool is the most important stage in a child’s education because it constitutes the foundation for all further learning. Ibero Academy is passionate about early education and committed to delivering it in a highly professional manner.

Humanities and Natural SciencesIBERO ACADEMY | 2013-2014 PARENTS’ MANUAL

Ibero Academy’s Divisions


As the student advances in his or her academic development, and especially during his or her elementary education, the humanities and the natural sciences acquire fundamental importance. Through these disciplines the student becomes intellectually, emotionally, and socially mature, which allows him or her to acquire broad knowledge and develop a critical spirit. Success at this stage disposes the student to success at all later stages.

The student learns to express him or herself in a coherent manner, forming and defending his or her own thoughts with clarity. By interpreting the surrounding world he or she develops attitudes such as precision, thoroughness, and openness to new ideas. Special attention is paid to the development of values such as autonomy, responsibility, and respect for one’s surroundings.

From the earliest age students at Ibero Academy learn to think of science as an accessible and interesting discipline. We use a modern and highly engaging curriculum, full of both practical activities and highlighting each discipline’s social, philosophical, and cultural aspects.

Elementary DivisionElementary education is a qualitative jump for students graduating from kinder because they must engage with new subjects and disciplines in a more academic environment.

We have endeavored to make this stage as rich and varied as possible, deepening both the student’s immersion in the Bilingual Program and the rigor and breadth with which techniques and knowledge are transmitted and acquired so that the student is prepared to reach his or her goals.

At this stage the focus lies in the development of abilities and techniques with which the student can efficiently communicate, think logically, and learn about his social and natural environments.

This curriculum is not only oriented towards the acquisition of traditional academic concepts: it also includes aspects that develop practical abilities, competencies, attitudes, and values.

Music and the arts are, above all, communication and expression. Therefore they are extremely important in the education and development of the human being. Ibero Academy uses these disciplines to foster the student’s enjoyment of beauty and harmony. Moreover, students discover and develop their entrepreneurial spirit and investigative faculties.

From preschool onward our students are introduced to a panoply of different scenarios. Events, projects, and activities allow the student to continually develop their psychomotor skills and creative sensibilities. Students are further enriched by sharing in these activities with their friends and family.

At Ibero Academy, enrichment through art is an important pedagogical tool and is used from an early age. Artistic and creative activities help to reveal the essence of our human condition.

The dynamic at Ibero Academy makes it possible for its students to enjoy creating and know the value and significance of creative endeavors.

The classes, workshops, and projects that conform the Creativity and Artistic Expression Program are: Visual Arts, Music, Handwork, Science Fair.

Athletics are an integral part of a student’s development at Ibero Academy. The practice and enjoyment of a sport goes beyond the acquisition of competency. In particular, sports infuse healthy habits, perseverance, team-work, and self-esteem in students. Students may pursue a sport either as part of their physical development or competitively, depending on their age.

Moreover, students have at their disposal a

team of teachers, coaches, and specialists who are committed to transmit the necessary technical knowledge and cultivate a healthy love of sports.

Ibero Academy offers a broad array of athletic disciplines adapted to each age group: psychomotor skills and introduction to athletics from 3 years of age; gymnastics for preschoolers, soccer, basketball, and tae-kwon-do.

Advances in the field of information technology have motivated a profound change in teaching styles and resources. Ibero Academy introduces information sciences and audiovisual media from Preschool in order to realize their full potential.

Information technologies are especially useful in the development of creative abilities, the researchand structuring of information, the interaction of foreign and native languages, and the adaptation to the tools and media that students will need to use in the future. Teachers and students work each day to learn and apply new technologies to their daily endeavors. Best of all, they enjoy doing so. Students at Ibero Academy will have the following advantages:

This is a list of the attitudes that we intend for all members of the Ibero Community to embody. Members of the Ibero Community include: parents, students, teachers, coordinators, administrators, and staff.

The purpose of these principles is to establish an environment of respect in which all members of the community may feel comfortable and capable of attending to their responsibilities.

This is not a set of rules. Failure to follow any of these principles will not result in direct negative consequences. However, if every member of the community participates in these principles we will be on our way to creating a true community capable of fostering integral development, and it will be easier for our students to reach fulfillment and happiness. Everyone benefits when someone lives well.

The opportunity to develop a strong and stable character can only exist in an atmosphere of positive discipline. At Ibero Academy we are convinced that the most effective rules allow the student to become conscious of his or her acts, responsibilities, and attitudes.

Acts become experiences that provide an excellent opportunity for students to discover and recognize the consequences of his or her actions.

Ibero Academy’s rules are founded on an education in freedom, where each child learns to make him or herself responsible for the order, cleanliness, and discipline of his or her life and, by extension, of his or her home, community, and school.

To achieve these objectives it is necessary to create a program that attends to all needs and is enforced by all. Our program is an intentional and systematic effort to identify and promote those values and virtues that are fundamental to the development of good character and a well-defined personality committed to self-discovery.

We understand that discipline is only part of the equation. At Ibero Academy we strive to create situations in which our students can learn these rules in an environment that is

both consistent and firm, but full of respect.

In the sections that follow we will lay out the rules that we expect students will observe as members of our community. It is important to keep in mind that breaking any of these rules may result in the student receiving a warning or a disciplinary sanction, depending on the severity of the offense. A student may be suspended or expelled for particularly serious incidents without prior warnings or sanctions.

General RulesThe purpose of this manual is to outline and enforce the rules that must be followed in an environment of respect among all members of our educational community.

By “discipline”, we mean the positive conduct that must be observed to gain from a learning environment. The end result of discipline is not only that the student has learned, but that all people involved have had their expectations met.

Within the ClassroomAll students are responsible for interacting with teachers and other students in a respectful manner. Each student must be committed to fostering a positive learning environment for him or herself and for his or her classmates.
