We are DiME
DiME was born in 2006 to enable students from different educational programs and schools to achieve their maximum performance. Through recommendations, DiME quickly became the best option for students to achieve their best results. DiME works side by side with the students, making sure that they fully understand the information that is contained in their particular school program, whether it is academic or non-academic. With the help of experts in each area, DiME offers classes and tutoring for students at every educational level -from elementary school to university-, resulting in the improvement of the student’s academic performance.
Later, as a result of this, the need arises to create a program for students who already exhausted their academic resources within the system in which they were studying. DiME opens its doors as a middle school and high school and completes its first school year with full enrollment.
For over ten years now, DiME -Desarrollo en Métodos de Enseñanza- has focused on the creation of a bilingual academic program that develops the abilities, skills, and competencies of our students. Adapted in a particular way, DiME adequates an integral and individual development of each of our students. DiME’s program stands out, within the educational sector, and place us as an institution with high academic performance. We prepare people to be successful, with a high sense of responsibility, high self-esteem and committed to improving the society in which we are living.
Thanks to these excellent results, DiME has created alliances with national and international institutions. We are certified to teach programs that are valid worldwide; such is the case of the CTE – Career and Technical Education, which consists of courses reviewed every 3 years, to guarantee its relevance, certified by professionals from specific industry branches -; the International High School Diploma -valid for US schools-; and soon the STEM – Science. Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics -. We make sure that our students graduate with competencies that will allow them to get accepted and excel in the best institutions of higher education.
DiME, committed to our students and their families, guarantees to exceed all of our resources to achieve the full development of every one of you.

"It’s easy to see that the world is an every changing environment, so logic tells me that education needs to be part of that change. I believe that there are schools that are just as individual as the students. My eldest son needed that change as his previous school didn't have the tools he needed for his personal growth. He started DiME in 8th grade and he decided stayed until he finished high-school. His entrance exam to Tec de Monterrey in GDL was met with excellent results scoring 1491 out of a total 1600 where he will go on to study mechatronic engineering in the International program set for an elite maximum of 30 students. Was DiME the best choice for my son? Without a doubt! So much that my younger son will start... Thank you so much DiME for giving my son the best start he can have in a very competitive world!"

My family was recently put in a place where a very difficult decision needed to be made. My husband was offered a job that was too good for his career to pass up but our kids are at an age where it would be difficult to move them. I could give a regular testimony about DiME, that would be easy, they offer top level education, programs and experiences. But I would rather share why DiME made it easy for us to make the decision for my husband to take the job and move while I remained behind with our kids. DiME has offered us more than education, they have offered us friendship and extended family. When my son had surgery in 2016 they moved all the classrooms so he would not have to climb stairs. Every day there was someone outside to assist him into his classroom. There were visits to the hospital and patience and guidance to help him catch up on the work he missed during his recovery. I recently had a surgery and Susie and Roberto came over to bring food and see what we needed. One if my favorite things about Susie is the genuine pride you see on her face when her kids succeed. She (and the entire staff) lead by example and work endlessly to give the students the best experiences and every possible opportunity. This is why my husband and I knew we made the right decision. Education is a top priority to us and we know that keeping our kids in DiME is the only option we have. Thank you DiME!
