The Workshop® is a Socioconstructivist Progressive school for children and young students, serving Toddlers to High School level, that totally transforms the ideas of the traditional educational systems and breaks from the archaic belief of data memorization. Founded in 1989 by Caty Franco, in the city of Merida, Yucatan, Mexico. The program was created by Caty´s conviction of the value involved in a progressive and constructive education that supports children and young people to achieve their goals, inside and outside of a school environment in a globalized world.
Our institution proudly forms part of the international network of schools of the University of Cambridge. The Workshop reaches the University’s high educational standards for children and young students, through our own educational proposal based on social constructivism. Our school is also affiliated to the Cambridge International Assessment program that makes us part of this network of international schools around the world.
French language is also taught from 6th grade up, through our affiliation to the French Alliance, who teaches courses on our campus. Our students prepare during high school to reach the different levels of the DELF certification by receiving an international lifetime diploma. www.alianzafrancesa.org.mx/merida
