Summary/Abstract: The main objective of this article is to analyze the migratory flows, related to the Baja California Indigenous School, which are part of the so-called Transnational Migratory Circuit. Likewise, an attempt is made to answer the impact of migration on the Baja California Indigenous School through qualitative research that takes place in the San Quintín Valley. Data collection consisted of five semi-structured interviews with teachers who migrated from the state of Oaxaca, carried out in situ in bilingual indigenous schools in the San Quintín Valley. For data analysis, some analysis categories were developed, corresponding to different migratory patterns, based on the transcripts of the interviews carried out. The results show that: the Indigenous School in Baja California constitutes a neuralgic point within this Transnational Migratory Circuit, where various realities are connected and various migratory trajectories and patterns converge.
