History

The third oldest American school in Mexico, The American School of Tampico has a long tradition of excellence and growth. ATS opened its doors on May 12, 1917 and has been operating successfully ever since.

The school was created by the American Foundation with the purpose of offering American children and the children of all other nationalities the same study plan found in schools in the United States.[2]

Language Division
100th anniversary celebration

The Language Division Institute was created in 1995 in addition of the school to offer Tampico’s citizens an opportunity for proper education in English, German, Chinese and French. It was located in the original American School campus in Downtown Tampico from its foundation up to 2011 when it moved to the new campus in Tancol. Nowadays the Institute offers some of the best English courses offered in the city, as well as TOEFL and TOEIC testing to prove the student’s achievements.[3]

The students at ATS earn both a U.S. High School Diploma as well as a SEP Certificate.
