About international schools in Peru

International-curriculum schools in Peru are concentrated in Lima but also found in other cities, and most blend the Peruvian national programme with internationally portable options such as the International Baccalaureate, British (Cambridge/IGCSE) and American-style diplomas. Bilingual Spanish - English instruction is the norm at these schools, with some institutions also offering German, French or additional language strands. Fees vary widely by school and by level; in Lima typical annual tuition commonly sits in the low-to-mid tens of thousands of soles, and families should expect separate entrance or matriculation charges plus costs for uniforms, transport and extra-curricular activities. The standard Peruvian school year runs roughly March - December so the principal intake for many schools is at the start of that cycle, although several international schools operate an August - June calendar or offer limited mid-year places; admissions typically require recent school reports, identity documents and, for older pupils, assessments or interviews.

FAQs for Peru

What international curricula can my child study in Peru and how do they differ?
You will commonly find the International Baccalaureate (IB), British programmes (Cambridge IGCSE and related pathways) and American-style diplomas or AP options alongside the Peruvian national curriculum. The IB is a continuum of programmes designed for different age bands (primary to diploma) and emphasises inquiry and international mindedness, Cambridge qualifications focus on subject-based IGCSEs at lower secondary with specialised upper-secondary routes, and American-style schools typically follow a K - 12 sequence with local or US credit systems; many schools combine one of these international pathways with the Peruvian curriculum to meet national certification requirements.
What language(s) of instruction should we expect?
Most international schools in Peru deliver a bilingual programme in Spanish and English, with early years often taught heavily in English and a gradual balance towards full bilingualism; several schools also offer German or French as part of their language programme. Programmes and the percentage of lessons in each language vary by school and by age, so check each school’s language policy and how they support non-native speakers.
How much do international-curriculum schools in Peru cost and what extra charges should we budget for?
Tuition varies considerably, but published data for Lima show typical annual fees clustered around the mid-tens of thousands of soles, with a wide spread above and below that range depending on the school and the year level. In addition to tuition, most schools charge a one-off entrance or matriculation fee and may bill separately for meals, school transport, uniforms, materials and optional activities, so families should request a full fee schedule and payment calendar before committing.
When should we apply and what documents are usually required?
Because the main academic year for most Peruvian schools begins around March, families relocating to Peru should start enquiries and applications several months earlier; some international schools that follow a Northern Hemisphere calendar start in August and run separate admissions cycles. Schools typically ask for the application form, original or certified copies of birth certificates and passports, recent school reports or transcripts, and vaccination records, and older applicants may be required to sit placement tests or attend an interview.
Which ages and stages do international programmes cover here?
International schools in Peru commonly offer provision from early years through to secondary, with the IB offering distinct programmes for primary (PYP), middle (MYP) and the Diploma Programme (DP) for the final two years, Cambridge IGCSEs typically taken in lower secondary and specialised courses thereafter, and American schools delivering a K - 12 sequence. If your child plans to use an international qualification for university entry abroad, check which programmes the school actually runs (for example whether it offers the full IB continuum or only the DP) and how they report grades and transcripts for external university systems.
