01 / The alliance
Tec de Monterrey created PrepaNet — a high school program built so no one runs out of time, distance, or money to graduate. At PEACE, we bring it to life in Higuera Blanca, Corral del Risco, and Emiliano Zapata.

02 / An alliance, not a referral
In 2024 we formalized an alliance with Tecnológico de Monterrey to bring PrepaNet — their nationally accredited online high school — to Punta de Mita. TEC supplies the academic engine: a rigorous 100% online curriculum, recognized by Mexico's SEP. PEACE supplies the rest: tutors, mentors, English with native speakers, STEM clubs, technology, and the safe space where studying actually happens.
Tec de Monterrey03 / The national funnel
According to SEP's “Principales Cifras 2024–2025,” for every 100 kids who start primary school, only 32 finish a university degree. At the high-school stage, 87 enter, 57 graduate, and only 49 continue to higher education. PrepaNet exists to close that gap.

04 / Two engines, one cohort
One academic engine. One local team. Three ways the program shows up in real life.
01 · The academic engine
A 100% online high-school curriculum designed and accredited by Tecnológico de Monterrey, recognized by Mexico's Secretaría de Educación Pública and respected nationwide. Students log in from our learning space and progress at their own pace.
02 · The on-the-ground accompaniment
In-person tutoring, English with native speakers, STEM clubs, vocational guidance, socio-emotional support, and access to laptops and stable internet. We sit next to students until the platform makes sense.
03 · One cohort
Students come from Higuera Blanca, Corral del Risco, and Emiliano Zapata. They share a classroom, a coordinator, and a path to a diploma that opens doors anywhere in Mexico.
05 / Cycle 2025–26
Two generations enrolled. Classes started August 26, 2024. These are the numbers from cycle 2025–26.

08 / What our students are aiming for
Every PrepaNet student in Punta de Mita is rehearsing a future. Some want to come back and run a clinic in Higuera Blanca. Some want to design hotels in La Cruz. A Prepanet diploma lets the next chapter begin.
