Montealto School was founded on July 21, 1993 to provide primary education for younger students; on April 14, 1999, authorization was granted to extend educational services to secondary education. In June 1998, the Promotora de Desarrollo Educación y Cultura (Prodec) assumed governance of the School. Montealto was created by a group of education professionals who were aware of the educational needs of our country. Spiritual formation is entrusted to the prelature of Opus Dei.
The female students at Montealto are in constant formation of their personality, acquiring traits from home education, the guidance of their tutors, the preceptor, and their own effort. They are bilingual; the school is a Cambridge English School. They are athletes, and participation in sports supports their physical and mental health, teaching them to win and lose with honor. They have character and personality, and their development enables them to make decisions and act with freedom based on critical thinking and a clear moral conscience.
Families play a central role in the school's community; parents work as a team with the school at every stage of their children's development. Collaborating couples at each grade, called Matrimonios colaboradores, perform an important role after internalizing the school's educational project, helping other families assume the educational protagonism that corresponds to them. Their mission is to promote and facilitate educational help from one family to another, and to strengthen the unity of the parents with one another and with the school, promoting a climate of collaboration and friendship. They encourage parents of their grade to attend school activities such as tutor interviews, integration days, and Christian formation activities, and to welcome new families. They guide families on how to submit suggestions and concerns, and promote the unity of the grade's parents with the school.
Montealto is a private, nonprofit, girls' Catholic day school in Peru that combines a traditional Catholic ethos with a contemporary international program. The curriculum features the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme alongside a bespoke plan designed to adapt to students' development and empower them to transform society. The school emphasizes differentiated education for girls, recognizing varied maturation paces, and teaches English intensively while promoting study of world cultures. Students are bilingual and benefit from being a Cambridge English School, with study trips and exchanges abroad that broaden horizons. A defining feature is Montealto's iKnowledge pedagogical system, an internationally validated model that links deep knowledge with sport and the arts to address physical, affective, intellectual, volitional, and spiritual dimensions. Spiritual formation is guided by the Opus Dei prelature, ensuring daily life reflects Catholic values. The combination of rigorous academics and holistic development prepares graduates for universities worldwide and professional pathways.
