Colegio Olamí ORT was founded in 2022 from the merger of two leading schools within Mexico’s Jewish educational network: Colegio CIM-ORT and Colegio Hebreo Sefaradí, together contributing more than 180 years of educational excellence.
It caters to more than 1,100 students of preschool to high school age and focuses on 21st-century skills and socioemotional wellbeing as well as being rooted in a profound commitment to Jewish education.
The school follows the national curriculum and stands as a model of innovation, addressing present and future needs through interdisciplinary, project-based learning, STEAM, and academic rigor aligned with professional demands.
Its pioneering Megamot program encourages co-created learning with universities, experts, non-governmental organizations, and the broader educational community.
Beyond academics, it promotes global citizenship and social responsibility inspired by the Jewish value of Tikun Olam, making the world a better place.
