In the year 1991, Dr. Fournier's dream came true and the school moved to Monteserrín in northern Quito. The program continued to grow and so did the local student population. From then on, the school has had the privilege to work with may administrators and teachers from around the world who have all contributed to who the school is today. Academia Cotopaxi became the first school to offer the IB diploma in Ecuador, joined several organizations, gained accreditation from regional US agencies, adopted the IB Primary Years Program, and grew their education model to include the ONE Institute language center and the IMAGINE preschool programs. The school is now revered as a premier international school in South America, which has been widely recognized for their progressive educational practices.
