San Silvestre School is a long-established co-educational institution serving learners aged 3 to 18, blending a global international programme with its British-Peruvian heritage. The curriculum features the IB Diploma Programme, Cambridge IGCSE, and Cambridge International AS Levels.

This inquiry-based approach covers Information Technology and Computing; Art, Music, Drama and Games; Physical Education; Personal and Social Education; and Religion or World Views, with French introduced in Grade 4. The school runs a bilingual English/Spanish programme, with English and Spanish as core languages and French as an additional language; Mandarin Chinese and Italian are optional. In Secondary, pupils may pursue the San Silvestre Diploma via a one-year Cambridge AS Levels or IB subjects, or follow the Cambridge IGCSE pathway and IB DP options.
