Tours & Information Sessions - 2 December
At Instituto Thomas Jefferson in Zapopan, safeguarding is a shared responsibility rooted in care, trust, and accountability.
Every student is supported in a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment where their wellbeing comes first.
Together with families, we empower students to thrive - academically, socially, and emotionally - knowing they are protected, heard, and valued.
We're here to support you

At our international school in Zapopan, students are protected by a robust safeguarding policy that clearly defines procedures for identifying, reporting, and addressing any concerns to ensure their safety and wellbeing.
A school nurse is available on campus to provide timely medical assistance as needed.
All staff must pass police background checks for the past 10 years, renewed every three years, to meet our safeguarding standards.
Staff receive regular training in both first aid and safeguarding protocols, in alignment with ISP and school policies.
The campus is protected by private security staff and features emergency systems such as panic buttons, a seismic alert, and emergency door releases.
Closed-circuit cameras monitor key areas of the school to support a safe and secure learning environment.
Well-defined civil protection and evacuation plans are in place, and safety drills are part of the school's ongoing readiness efforts.
Come and meet us in person at our school!
