The school was founded in 1950 in a house in the district of San Isidro, fulfilling the dream of a group of parents who wanted to provide first-class education to their children. The Educational Services Cooperative in Peru was formed by 103 families sharing the same values and ideals. Mr. Manuel Sánchez Palacios was the first President of the Cooperative and, with support from the United States Embassy, he hired Alie M. Allen, the first North American Principal of the school. With rapid growth, the institution expanded and inaugurated its current La Molina location in 1981. The International Baccalaureate programs were later implemented, with the Primary School Program, the Middle Years Program, and the Diploma Program authorized by the IB. Classes have started uninterruptedly to date.
The Lincoln community includes students, parents, teachers, administrative personnel, maintenance staff, and staff in charge of the school shuttles.
