Colegio Franklin Delano Roosevelt

The school admits all applicants regardless of gender, race, religion, creed, or national origin. For Grades 2–12, admission is based on readiness for the academic program and space availability. The admissions policy aims to balance native and non‑native English speakers and to maintain the U.S. and international character of the school's educational program. Admission decisions are guided by language ability and academic readiness, with priority given to native English speakers and proficient English speakers. Special consideration is given to siblings, EAL expatriates, and children of alumni. Early Childhood Program (EC3, EC4, Kindergarten, and Grade 1) admissions considerations include siblings of current Roosevelt students, children of Roosevelt staff, US Embassy dependents, international candidates whose primary language is English, other international candidates, children of alumni, and children of new local families applying to the school. Maximum classroom sizes are: EC3 16 students, EC4 18 students, and Kindergarten through 12th grade 22 students. English as an Additional Language (EAL): applicants who are non‑native English speakers are evaluated on‑site using the WIDA W‑APT or MODEL Screener; acceptance may depend on English proficiency. Upon admission, non‑native English speakers are evaluated to determine the level of EAL support needed. Learning Support Program (LS): provides support for students with mild to moderate educational needs, in the least restrictive environment. Placement testing or related evaluations may be requested to determine support needs; if a student has prior assessments, those should be submitted to the Office of Admissions. The school follows the admissions guidelines of the Ministry of Education of Peru. Admissions materials include an Admissions Criteria page, Application Process, Application Schedule, Applicant Evaluation Descriptions, Tuition & Fees, Frequently Asked Questions, and an Inquiry Form. Application Process outlines four steps: (1) Complete the Online Application Form and receive a confirmation email with a link to upload required documents; (2) Upload required documents for all applicants (International: passport/residence card and birth certificate; Peruvian: birth certificate and DNI; vaccination records; FDR confidential family reference; parents' employment letter; copies of both parents' IDs; Application and Advanced Entrance Fee Deposit; Enrollment Contract; Parent Partnership for Success; OPP information; local transfer form if applicable; and academic records appropriate to the grade level); (3) The Office of Admissions schedules evaluations/placements and may arrange a parent interview with the Director of Admissions; (4) An admissions decision is communicated by email. Application Schedule indicates international applicants (EC3–Grade 12) may submit at any time; local residents (Grades 1–12) may submit at any time but enrollment occurs at the start of semesters (August and February). This information includes specific guidelines for EC3–EC4–Kindergarten application, and indicates space availability governs processing. Applicant Evaluation Descriptions note that each division conducts its own evaluation process, and in some cases a placement interview could be scheduled. Tuition & Fees show the 2025–2026 tuition by level (EC3–EC4: $16,800; Elementary: $18,150; Secondary: $19,030) with optional transportation costs, and a separate 2025–2026 Tuition Incentive Program. The Matriculation Fee equals the July tuition and is due July 31; new students accepted after the school year begins pay a matriculation fee equivalent to one month's tuition. Payments can be made in up to ten monthly installments; the application fee is $500 per student (non-refundable) and the one-time Entrance Fee is $19,500 per student, with a $1,000 deposit required upfront (refundable if not accepted). For the 2025–2026 year, the school also details the monthly/annual transportation options and the option for a one‑time annual payment prior to June 30, 2025. Overall, the school presents an English-language immersion program for students 3 through 12, with schooling aligned to Peruvian guidelines where applicable.

The Roosevelt Scholarship Program selects outstanding 5th‑grade students from the Metropolitan Lima area and grants them a full scholarship to study at Colegio Roosevelt for seven years, beginning in 6th grade and continuing through graduation in 12th grade. It was established in 2013, and over 20 scholarship recipients have been selected since then; as of June 2025, nine have graduated from FDR. Entry to the program is limited to 6th grade to align with the cohort starting the program together and to strengthen English language development before more advanced coursework. Scholarship recipients are selected from a large pool based on academic ability to adapt, interpersonal skills, resilience and determination, emotional intelligence, language skills, and family support, and they must demonstrate financial need by having attended an elementary school with monthly fees at or below 15% of Colegio Roosevelt's monthly tuition. Funding for the program is provided by allocating 7.5% of school entrance fees; the program has historically funded at least two scholarships per year, with adjustments after the Covid‑19 period.
