Irish Institute Mexico of Mexico

City

On February 14, 1966, the Irish Institute Mexico was founded, starting with a population of 80 students. At first the land was very extensive, so much so that even horse riding was practiced; there were no buildings since all the rooms were modules. For ten years, the Irish was an exclusively boys' school with 15 students per class; Later, in 1976, a preschool was opened, where girls also entered. Little by little it grew until today it has a population of 715 students, ranging from the first year of primary school to the third year of high school. Thus, little by little, they advanced generation by generation. Since then, children and young people have passed through these doors who today make their children and grandchildren live the experience of the Irish Institute. El Irlandés was the second school of the Legion of Christ, after the Cumbres Institute, and the first of its kind: an original, personalized and revolutionary educational concept. Within the history of the Legion of Christ and Regnum Christi, one of the priority apostolates has always been education, and at that time the Irish was presented as a Catholic option that would provide quality bilingual education, with a strong spiritual motivation, carried out by legionary trainers, priests, all Irish, teaching based on order, discipline and obedience.
