San Silvestre School has a British-Peruvian heritage. Mrs. Bayly joined in 1978 as Head of English, later becoming Headmistress and serving for 27 years. For her services to education, she was named a Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE) by Her Majesty the Queen. The school has an 80-plus year history and celebrated the Queen's Platinum Jubilee with involvement across all three school sections.
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. In the Primary Section, learning follows a cross-curricular framework that fuses the British National Curriculum with the Peruvian National Curriculum, underpinned by the Essentials Curriculum designed by Chris Quigley. 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.
