ITJ prepares the leaders of tomorrow

Instituto Thomas Jefferson Valle Real stands out as a high-achieving private school in Guadalajara, offering a well-rounded education focused on student success through international learning.

As a leading bilingual school, our goal is to develop positive leaders who are ready for the future in a global, tech-driven world. We live our values every day, guided by respect, self-esteem and excellence, while fulfilling our responsibilities to the community.

Why choose a private school in Guadalajara with an American curriculum?

Academic learning at ITJ is built on project-based learning (PBL), using a range of tools and activities to optimise student progress. Classes are 80 percent in English, and students can start a third language from Pre-first.

ITJ believes in growing talent through a wide range of extracurricular activities, including football, musical theatre, volleyball, dance, art, robotics, athletics, origami, chess and more.

All ITJ academic programmes meet the highest international standards and also follow the Secretaría de Educación Pública (SEP) programme.

ITJ is accredited by NEASC (New England Association of Schools and Colleges), giving High School students the chance to graduate with an international diploma. We are also members of Asomex (Association of American Schools in Mexico) and part of International Schools Partnership.

Learning at International Schools Partnership is at the heart of everything we do. Our network of private schools spans Europe, Mexico and Central America, the Middle East, United States and Canada, South America and Asia, creating safe, happy environments for students from one and a half to nineteen years old.

ITJ Valle Real welcomes many international students every day. In this environment, students learn to recognise and value differences, work together, appreciate each other’s contributions and find common ground. This spirit of inclusion guides students beyond the classroom and into the wider world.

What sets us apart from other private schools in Guadalajara is our focus on language learning and multiculturalism, giving students a richer, broader education.
