History


The institution was originally founded on 18 May 1910 as "Escuela Modelo" and inaugurated on 15 September of the same year by the president of the "Liga de Acción Social", Gonzalo Cámara Zavala. Gonzalo's project was inspired by Rousseau's Emile, or On Education, searching for an education close to nature, open spaces and green areas, a first on Mérida. Founded as one of the first primary educaction schools of Yucatán, the Escuela Modelo slowly grew to cover secondary and higher education on 1933 and 1962, respectively.
In 1912, American lawyer Henry Ralph Rindge introduced baseball to the institution education. Through the Escuela Modelo, Rindge also introduced basketball to Yucatán. The institution (and later the University's) logo was also designed by Henry Rindge. On 1941, the Escuela Modelo became the first mixed-sex School in Yucatán.
The university was founded in 1997, following the humanitarian philosophies of its predecessor.
In 2016, on the eve of the school's anniversary, the Universidad Modelo opened a building for its faculty of health sciences.
On 8 November 2019, the university premiered "Los días de otoño", a film written, filmed and edited by students of Communication.
In 2021, the Universidad Modelo opened a building for its engineering school.
