Colegio Alexander Bain

Colegio Alexander Bain is a private school system in Mexico.[1] Its junior-senior high school program is Bachillerato Alexander Bain, S.C., located in Tlacopac, San Ángel, Álvaro Obregón, Mexico City.[2] It also operates the Colegio Alexander Bain, a preschool and primary school in Tlacopac; Instituto Alexander Bain (IAB) in Pedregal de San Ángel in Álvaro Obregón, serving preschool and primary school; and the Alexander Bain Irapuato (ABI) school in Irapuato, Guanajuato, serving preschool through junior high school (secundaria).[3]

There is also the Escuela Alexander Bain in Álvaro Obregón;[4] it was affiliated with the other Bain schools until circa 2006. It is adjacent to the Colegio Alexander Bain.[5]

The system was named after a Scotsman, Alexander Bain.[6]

As of 2016 Sergio Rivero Beneitez, the son of the founder of the bachillerato, María Luisa Beneitez Brown, is the director of that school.[5]

History

The first school, Escuela Alexander Brown, opened in 1956. In 1964 it moved to its current location.[5]

María Luisa Beneitez Brown opened the bachillerato in 1972,[5] and it began using the UNAM educational program that year.[7]

Instituto Alexander Bain opened in 1975. Mrs. Ofelia Arriaga de Nájera was the first director.[8] She is the sister of the school's founder.[5]

On May 8, 1990 the bachillerato began using the International Baccalaureate Diploma program, and in December 20, 2000 it began using the Middle Years Program.[2]

As of 1995 the bachillerato campus had 16 teachers.[7] That year the colegio opened.[5]

Around 2006 the children of the founders took control of the schools and began a legal conflict. The owner of the Escuela Alexander Bains filed a lawsuit to keep the name.[5]

The Irapuato campus opened in 2006.[5]

In 2016 an issue between the building and the owners of Colegio Alexander Bain (Barranca de Pilares) caused it to temporarily close.[5] The school was evicted from the premises due to the longstanding legal conflict.[9]
