Introduction

Colegio Americano de Xalapa, established in 1983 as Colegio Renacimiento, operates across two campuses in the Xalapa metropolitan area. The Ánimas campus serves preschool students, while the Lencero campus accommodates primary through high school levels, featuring a professional-sized soccer field and multiple basketball courts. As part of the Sendica Education network, the school employs a bilingual English-Spanish model. Early childhood education begins with full English immersion before Spanish is formally introduced in the third year of kindergarten. The academic program incorporates practical technology application through dedicated "Makerspaces" and science laboratories. The school is specifically recognized for being the first institution in Xalapa to implement the international "Conscious Discipline" framework, formally teaching students emotional regulation as a core part of the daily schedule. High school students have access to specific areas, including a tunnel lounge equipped with a billiard table and a designated terrace.
