Greengates School S.C.

Greengates School categorically denies malicious rumors regarding alleged confirmed cases of corona virus (COVID19) in school. These are fake news. Our community is better than that and fully aware that we have over 50 nationalities within our student body. The decision to close was in the best interest of our community. Our professional team of teachers and educators will make sure that our students continue with their learning journey using all of our technology.

It's #EarthDay ! Green is not just a part of our name! We proudly instill the importance of looking after our planet in our students all throughout their educational journey!... As a school we are committed to: Reducing waste, reusing and recycling! Solar energy and LED lighting Designated and well cared green areas on campus! And more! Let's look after our planet and school so we can continue to enjoy these beautiful views from all over our campus!

Finding new books to read both for students and their parents is a difficult task during the quarantine. To help with this we will be sharing books that #DrDesouchesRecommends: For infant students and their parents: Angry Arthur, by Hyawin Oran and Satoshi Kitamura. At a time when young children are struggling to cope with the quarantine, this tale about handling negative emotions and frustration will help parents connect and talk with their children.... For junior students: Grandfather's Journey by Allen Say. A moving biographical story about discovering a new home whilst loving and remained attached to one's first home. An excellent book for #thirdculturekids For senior students: Travels with my Aunt by acclaimed English novelist Graham Greene. This is a story filled with unexpected twists, black humour, and bizarre yet heart-warming lessons. It is strongly recommended for mature readers (and their parents!).

Hoy se celebra el Grito de Independencia de México!

Today is Shakespeare Day! To celebrate let's have a look at some of the outstanding performances our students have put up! From the comedies Much Ado About Nothing and Midsummer Night's Dream to the tragic Macbeth. From whole plays to soliloquies and monologues, our students make our auditorium feel like @the_globe itself at times! We can't wait for the next play once we are able to safely go back! What is your favourite play?... On our Facebook and Instagram stories we have shared a link to The Globe's website where you may watch some plays for free!

Through the years we are proud to have had over nationalities at Greengates , with most of them participating in our fair We have shared our photos on our highlights reel (linked here: https://www.instagram.com/s/aGlnaGxpZ2h0OjE3OTU2NDEyODMzNDE), so make sure to check them out!

We are deeply saddened by the passing of His Royal Highness, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. In commemoration of his visit to Mexico in 1964, our founders chose to name one of our Sport Houses Edinburgh. It was during this visit that our students were part of a welcoming delegation and had the privilege of greeting him. We honour his lifelong commitment and passion to education. On behalf of the Greengates Community, I offer our heartfelt condolences to Her Majesty The Quee...n and the Royal Family. Dr. Clarisa Desouches Greengates School Mexico

In these challenging and uncertain times, it is important to take a moment and celebrate the success and moments of joy that come across in our community. Unfortunately, for the first time in Greengates history, this year we were unable to hold our Speech Day and Graduation Ceremony for our Upper 6thstudents. Our students completed their IB Diploma, and will be looking to start their college life soon (not being able to hold speech day does not mean that we will not celebrat...e once we have an opportunity to!). In the meantime we would like to use this post to draw your attention to their success and hope that you will all join us in wishing them the best of luck as they take a step-forward. Now more than ever, their positivity and energy will be needed in the world. Although uncertainty may feel like a shroud that could dampen their enthusiasm at this point in time, we are sure that in true Greengates Spirit they will be ready to step forward and help the world be better. As Freddie Mercury once said: make people happy, in any form. Even if it’s just an hour of their lives, if I can make them feel lucky or make them feel good, or bring a smile to a sour face, that to me is worthwhile.

A nice panoramic view of the field taken at one of our International Fairs! Do you recognize any of the stalls? ... And so many more! As Greengates, the fair and our community have grown with the years, so has the size of the stalls, games, "carpa" and the activities. Some may remember when there was only one small mechanical game near the junior library... Now we usually have two or three, plus trampolines for kids in the patio and back of the field! Stalls now occupy bigger areas and we love to see people having the space to sit down and chat while enjoying great food and drinks

We hope that you are all staying safe and healthy #athome How are you staying active during the quarantine? Students and alumni, what house do you belong to? Esperamos que todos se encuentren bien y sanos #encasa... Cómo se mantienen activos durante está cuarentena?
