We begin this new school year with enthusiasm and hope! This year, we want to remember that our work goes far beyond academics or educational programs: our main focus is people—our children, our families, and our entire community.
It’s about how we see each other, take care of each other, and build together a culture where every voice matters and every heart is valued.
This year, we are inspired by the idea of moving ASAP, but with a deeper meaning:
- As Slow As Possible: Because people matter more than speed, and true growth takes time.
- As Soft As Possible: With kindness that opens doors, even in moments of disagreement.
- As Soulful As Possible: Staying connected to the “why” behind what we do.
- As Sustainable As Possible: Building processes and relationships that last.
- As Sincere As Possible: Showing up authentically every day.
- As Steady As Possible: Being consistent and calm, especially when facing challenges.
And above all, let’s make room to reflect, listen, and be truly present with our people.
Yes, we will face challenges—that’s inevitable. But our guide will be The Canadian School Way – Be Kind, our way of acting based on respect, empathy, cooperation, responsibility, honesty, and love. By following these values, challenges turn into opportunities, and teams become communities.
We hope this year will be one of growth not only as a community but also as individuals and as a team: together, strong and united.
With affection,
Miss Gaby Castellanos
Head Principal

Bienvenidos a un nuevo ciclo escolar en Canadian School Querétaro
¡Iniciamos un nuevo ciclo escolar con entusiasmo y esperanza! Este año, queremos recordar que nuestra labor va mucho más allá de lo académico o de los programas educativos: nuestro foco principal son las personas: nuestros hijos, nuestras familias y toda nuestra comunidad.
Se trata de cómo nos vemos, nos cuidamos y construimos juntos una cultura donde cada voz importa y cada corazón es valorado.
Este año nos inspiramos en avanzar ASAP, pero con un significado profundo:
- As Slow As Possible: Porque las personas importan más que la velocidad, y el crecimiento verdadero lleva tiempo.
- As Soft As Possible: Con amabilidad que abre puertas, incluso en momentos de desacuerdo.
- As Soulful As Possible: Manteniéndonos conectados con el “porqué” detrás de lo que hacemos.
- As Sustainable As Possible: Construyendo procesos y relaciones que perduren.
- As Sincere As Possible: Presentándonos con autenticidad todos los días.
- As Steady As Possible: Siendo coherentes y tranquilos, especialmente ante los desafíos.
Y, sobre todo, demos espacio para reflexionar, escuchar y estar verdaderamente presentes con nuestra gente.
Sí, nos encontraremos con retos; eso es inevitable. Pero nuestra guía será The Canadian School Way – Be Kind, nuestra forma de actuar basada en respeto, empatía, cooperación, responsabilidad, honestidad y amor. Siguiendo estos valores, los retos se transforman en oportunidades y los equipos se convierten en comunidades.
Deseamos que este año sea de crecimiento no solo como comunidad, sino también como individuos y equipo: juntos, firmes y fuertes.
Con cariño,
Miss Gaby Castellanos
Directora General
