Schools in Tijuana

Preparatoria Xochicalco is a secondary school in conjunction with the University of the same name. They offer a variety of courses with the goal of preparing students for continued studies in higher education. The school gives individualized attention to students, focusing on personal strengths and interests.

Primary and secondary education is provided by a system of state, federal, municipal and private schools. Schools are crowded and most have two shifts each day. Given the low salaries paid to teachers, many take a second position and teach both shifts, leaving little time for class preparation. Many Tijuana children attend private and public schools in San Diego.

With regards to expat education, the British American School serves as the main center for teaching in English. Tijuana has ten institutions providing post-secondary education and serving more than 10,000 students. These include: Universidad Autónoma de Baja California; Universidad Iberoamericana Noroeste; Centro de Enseñanza Técnica y Superior (CETYS); Instituto Tecnológico de Tijuana; El Colegio de la Frontera Norte; Universidad Tecnológico de Tijuana; Centro Universitario de Tijuana; Tecnológico de Baja California; Xochicalco Medical School; and CITEDI-IPN.
