After submission, families receive an electronic copy of the Internal Regulations, and the Admissions Office will contact them to discuss the next steps in the process. The College seeks to offer places to families aligned with its educational philosophy, with limited spaces per class. 2. Be aware of admissions priorities and the BEAP requirement. Siblings of current students are given priority, followed by families with connections to the College, and then new families. All new families must be introduced by four BEAP members, one of whom can be a family member (employer letters may be accepted for recently arrived foreign families). These priorities follow legal provisions and influence admission decisions. 3. Who is evaluated. For Early Years (FS1, FS2, Kinder, P1), no age-appropriate assessments are conducted; placement is based on age. All other applicants are required to complete age-appropriate assessments, and the College may request an external evaluation if needed, especially to support language development for the English Immersion and Bilingual Programmes. 4. Notification of application results. All applicant families receive an email with the final decision, and places are offered only to those who have satisfactorily met all entry requirements. Discussions about the final admission decision are not part of the admissions process. Parents of applicants offered a place should visit the College to sign the offer letter and complete the Admissions process. 5. Enrollment and documentation for new students. Enrolment requires submission of the requested documents, and additional documents may be required depending on circumstances. For Local Transfers, documents include the Ficha Única de Matrícula (FUM), a clearance certificate from the previous institution, and a current SIAGIE enrolment certificate if the transfer is mid-year. For Local Transfers and International Transfers, separate documentation applies to ensure proper enrolment. 6. Admissions process for Primary (P2 to 6B) and Secondary. The process includes a guided tour of facilities, delivery of detailed information outlining the steps to start the application, and a complete review of the applicant's form. Next steps include personal interviews with parents in English and Spanish, written assessments in English, Spanish, and Mathematics, and the CAT4 exam; additional interviews may be scheduled at the College's discretion. 7. International transfers and validation of studies. For international families, it is recommended to begin the Process of Study Validation or Recognition with the Peruvian Ministry of Education, as enrolment may require such recognition (processing can take up to 30 working days). The College details the Validation of Studies (agreements) and Revalidation of Studies (no agreement) processes, and outlines the required documents (including translations and apostilles where applicable) to initiate these steps. In addition, international transfer requirements may include providing last two years of academic reports, FUM, and related documentation to complete enrolment. |

Scholarships

Scholarships Scholarships are awarded by the Director in coordination with the Promoting Entity for economic reasons. Scholarships may be granted as a percentage of the current pension and only for the period requested; they do not cover the enrollment fee. Eligibility factors include orphan status and family economic need. Scholarships are typically awarded to the eldest child in the family; they do not apply to only-child families or to students in Early Childhood or in the Diploma Program. Applications for scholarships based on lack of resources require a joint request from both parents or the guardian, addressed to the Director, and must include: a sworn declaration that the family lacks resources to cover the pensions; documents proving family income and expenses as specified in the scholarship convocatoria; declarations of property and vehicles; any other documents requested by the Director; and payment of the processing fee (which may be waived in cases of death, incapacity, or imprisonment of the payer). For scholarships based on lack of resources, other required documents include the death certificate, medical certificate of incapacity, or court order as applicable. The Promoter and the Director evaluate scholarship requests and provide a response in the first half of January; in cases of orphanhood, incapacity, or imprisonment, the evaluation occurs within ten calendar days of submitting the request. The school reserves the right to verify the accuracy of scholarship requests and to request additional information. Scholarships may be suspended or reinstated based on the documented conditions and the child's academic and behavioral progression. Suspension for orphanhood is generally one quarter, with potential resumption if the circumstances change. | Scholarships — |
