About international schools in Peru
International schools in Peru are concentrated in Lima and other major cities and tend to blend the Peruvian national programme with internationally recognised options - most commonly the International Baccalaureate (IB), British (Cambridge/IGCSE) and US-style curricula - delivered in bilingual Spanish - English models, with a handful of German- and French-language schools. Published tuition at Lima’s international schools commonly sits in the mid-tens of thousands of Peruvian soles per year, though all-in costs (including enrolment, capital/registration charges, transport and extras) reported by independent data providers can be materially higher. The country’s regular school year follows the Peruvian calendar (roughly March - December), but some American or international schools use an August - June timetable, so families relocating from the Northern Hemisphere should check the calendar carefully. Admissions for popular schools are planned well in advance - it is normal to start enquiring six to twelve months before your intended start date - and parents should confirm language support for non-Spanish speakers and any visa or residency paperwork the school requires.

Curricula
There are 46 international schools in Peru covering 21 curricula. The most widely offered are IB (DP) (38), Bespoke Curriculum (17), IB (PYP) (16), IB (MYP) (9), Cambridge IGCSE (8). If your child may move countries again, an internationally-portable curriculum (IB, or Cambridge/British) keeps options open; if you're likely to settle, a curriculum matching your home or target university system can be the better fit.

Admissions & timing
Sought-after schools in Peru run waiting lists, so apply early — ideally a term or two ahead. Most admissions involve an application, prior school reports and an assessment or interview, with entry points often tied to the school year. Each school's profile shows term dates, open days and how to enquire.
Boarding

How doris stays impartial
doris lists every international school in Peru we can find — not only those that pay. We take no placement fees and sell no rankings or "top school" spots, so the schools above aren't ordered by who paid most. Details come from the schools' own information and public sources, and you can compare any of them side by side.
