The short answer
In northern Querétaro, per their official websites, the International School of Querétaro and John F. Kennedy school are in Jurica, Colegio Wexford has a Juriquilla campus, and universities include UNAM ENES Juriquilla, UAQ and UVM. Confirm grades, language of instruction and availability directly with each institution.
Many families choose a home around the school. This guide gathers the northern schools we could verify on their own websites, without rating or comparing them, and explains how to use that information to choose an area and a home.
Which K-12 schools are in Jurica?
The International School of Querétaro states on its website that it teaches from preschool through high school on Paseo del Mesón, in Jurica. John F. Kennedy, The American School of Querétaro, describes itself as a preschool-to-high-school campus and lists its location on Sabinos street, also in Jurica.

How should the school shape your home search?
The school run happens twice a day for many years. Before deciding, drive it at drop-off time from each area you like: Cumbres del Lago, Villas del Mesón, El Nabo or Juriquilla itself can differ a lot depending on the road you take.
- Time the real drive, not the midnight map estimate.
- Ask whether the school runs buses and from which areas.
- Think about middle and high school too, not only this year.
What should you ask each school?
Curriculum, languages, timetable, activities, enrollment and tuition fees, and waiting-list policy. Get it in writing and compare calmly. We do not publish tuition or opinions on quality: that judgment belongs to each family.
More detail
If you are moving from abroad, also ask about credential recognition and the documents the school needs to enroll students coming from another education system.
What homes are near these schools?
Jurica has established houses on large lots; Juriquilla mixes gated townhouse communities, apartments and large residences; Cumbres del Lago and Villas del Mesón offer gated homes with views and shared amenities. Each area guide shows the average price per square meter computed from our catalog.
How do you plan school and house visits in one trip?
If you are coming from another city, book school appointments in the morning, when you can see drop-off and real traffic, and keep afternoons for touring homes in nearby areas. That way you compare commutes with fresh information rather than estimates.
Carry a simple sheet for each home: time to school, time to work, HOA fee and what you liked or worried about. By evening, that table is worth more than memory. If you would like help, we can put together a viewing route through Jurica, Juriquilla and Cumbres del Lago.
