A totally unique high school in Mexico
THIS IS HARKNESS INSTITUTE
We are a unique highschool in Mexico. Harkness Institute is a bilingual and bicultural preparatory high school that employs a unique peer-to-peer approach to education, rather than the traditional method of teacher lecture ––the “seer on stage.”
We are a learning community committed to providing an inclusive, caring and supportive environment where excellence and academic achievement are valued. Students are constantly challenged to achieve their potential through rigorous programs focused on building knowledge, skills and values for a productive life as a member of society.
HARKNESS CREED
We are Harkness Institute
Preparing – for leadership with integrity
We believe in the power of education, knowing that learning is a lifelong endeavor.
We are committed to – living a principled life.
With God´s help – we will excel in all that we do
We make no excuses. – We never give up. And we never forget…
Learning Conference Style
The difference is perceptible immediately. You notice as soon as you enter the classroom that instead of desks lined up in front of the teacher, there is a conference table…a place to discuss ideas!
Inside the Classroom
Some of the best faculty in Mexico inspire, mentor, and guide Harkness students on their academic journey.
A Tradition of Excellence
Harkness has a strong and proud tradition of academic, artistic and technological excellence and it has the best academic results in Mexico.
Study Abroad
The most powerful lesson Harkness students learn early is that they only live in a sliver of the world and that the opportunities beyond are vast. But we want them to also understand that while people of other cultures seem different, we are all fundamentally more similar than disparate. And that they are capable of competing intellectually with students anywhere in the world.
