<\/figure>\n\n\n\nSchool Campus<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n“The school building is excellent. The area surrounding the campus is desert and a nice suburban that is newly developed. It is on the outskirts of the town, but it is very safe and the building is new and very well-maintained.” – American School of Torreon<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n“The school caters for Elementary, PYP and MYP. It is quite a big complex and it is still expanding to cater for more classrooms. It is walled like any international schools over here so it is relatively safe.” – Madison International School<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n“School facilities are quite nice for Mexico (wifi, projectors, top notch gym and exercise equipment, etc.). As others have alluded to, the surrounding area is MUCH more proletarian than the school clientele.” – American School Foundation of Mexico City<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\nHousing Information<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n“You have to live in the middle of nowhere (close to school) for your first year, unless you demand a housing allowance. It’s very unsafe. Someone was killed in our backyard a few years ago, and one of the teachers got his passport stolen. You have to pay for the utilities, but only if they confront you about it.” – Madison International School<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n“The teachers now have their own apartments. The houses are random.If you are a married couple you will be placed in a house. Some single teachers have houses due to availability.” – American School of Torreon<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n“Houses are very basic. Little or no furniture. When something is wrong with the house neither the school or landlord will help.” – American School of Durango\ufeff<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n“I would recommend taking photos of your accommodation (walls, any marks, shabby painting) as now that I am transitioning out I am being asked to pay for things that may or may not have been my fault but I didn\\’t expect the school to nickle and dime me at the end so I don\\’t have any proof.” – American School Foundation of Monterrey<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/internationalschoolcommunity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/DSC_4832.jpg?fit=1024%2C644&ssl=1\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nHealth Insurance and Medical Benefits<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n“The private health insurance is only for major accidents, otherwise is pretty much useless and you must pay out of pocket if you get sick.” – American Institute of Monterrey<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n“There is no preventative care. Insurance is private and supported by the national health care program. For example, maternity leave is mandated by the state and paid for via IMS (national health care ). There is no international coverage – just 50,000 for accident coverage while you are visiting the US or Canada. Coverage is poor compared to other international schools. Doctors and service at private hospitals is very good!” – American School Foundation of Guadalajara<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n“Health insurance and dental but find a good doctor. Many are not good here.” – American School Foundation of Mexico City\ufeff<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n“Unfortunately this school year the deductible went up substantially and the coverage is still not covering anything preventative. This was not told to staff until the week before school started which in essence dropped a lot of people’s salaries as now more is going towards health care costs. As someone who did not previously make any claims I did not appreciate this change when it finally came time to use the insurance.” – American School Foundation of Monterrey\ufeff<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
