Following the urban and commercial boom caused by the migration of families from other municipalities in the department of Guatemala, the installation of schools that provide private education in the municipality began to increase rapidly. Most of the private schools that operate in the municipality are institutions of very high academic level because, for the most part, the families that immigrated to the municipality at the beginning of the 21st century are middle and upper class. For its part, the original population of the municipality, made up mostly of people with a lower economic level, continued traveling to study in Guatemala City until the mid-2010s, since the costs of the private education institutions that operate in the municipality exceed their payment capacity. Among the private institutions that moved their facilities to the municipality is the Jules Verne School, which is a Franco-Guatemalan institution.

In 2014, the private University of the Istmo of Guatemala (UNIS) began its operations in the municipality. The public university is the University de San Carlos de Guatemala, but it is not based in the municipality and those who study there have to travel to the Central Campus in zone 12 of Guatemala City, or to the Metropolitan University Center, in the zone 11.

Two other universities operate in the Municipality, in the Marco Tulio Meda Mendoza Educational Complex, branches of the Galileo University and Pan American University operate, which teach classes for certain professions for a few days per week, both are private educational institutions.
