French Curriculum International Schools in Peru

About international schools in Peru

French-curriculum international schools in Peru are a small, mostly AEFE-affiliated network centred on Lima and Arequipa, offering the French national curriculum from maternelle through lycée alongside local recognition. Teaching is centred on French but most schools run bilingual or trilingual programmes that integrate substantial Spanish and growing English provision, and pupils typically prepare for the French baccalauréat (with local convalidation where offered). Fees vary by school and location: the established Lycée in Lima publishes annual totals in the high tens of thousands of soles (around S/.29,000 - 31,000 for 2026), while smaller or newer bilingual French schools outside Lima show much lower monthly pension figures in published documents (around S/.1,000 - 1,200 per month). Admissions follow the Peruvian school calendar with formal matriculation windows late in the year and in early February, and relocating families should plan for document translation, possible language assessment and limited places in popular year groups.

FAQs for Peru

What curriculum do French schools in Peru follow and what diploma do students receive?

Most French international schools in Peru teach the French national curriculum homologated by the French Ministry of National Education and operate within the AEFE network; pupils follow the French programme from preschool through lycée and prepare for the French baccalauréat, with schools commonly arranging convalidation or local recognition so qualifications are usable in Peru.

Which languages are used for teaching?

Instruction is primarily in French, but schools routinely build in Spanish and offer English as part of a bilingual or trilingual pathway; many institutions explicitly present themselves as bicultural/trilingual and assign specific subjects or hours to each language from the early grades.

How much do these schools cost to attend?

Fees differ by school and city: the Lycée Franco-Peruano in Lima publishes its 2026 schedule showing total annual costs around S/.29,300 - 30,800 depending on level, while documents from a recognised Peruvian-French school in Arequipa show monthly pension figures in the region of S/.1,050 - 1,134 (with separate annual enrolment/matriculation charges). Families should budget additionally for registration fees, school materials, meals and extracurricular activities.

When should we apply and what is the admissions rhythm?

Admissions generally follow the Peruvian academic year: schools publish matriculation periods and often run an early/advance registration window late in the calendar year and an ordinary enrolment window in early February, with places offered subject to documentation, interviews and, in some cases, language or level assessments. Parents relocating to Peru should start enquiries several months before arrival to allow time for paperwork, testing and any language support arrangements.

What should we check when comparing French-curriculum schools in Peru?

Verify whether the school is homologated or conventionné with the AEFE, how the French and Peruvian programmes are integrated, and which languages are used for core subjects; also check published fee schedules, scholarship or sibling discounts, the school’s approach to newcomer language support, class size and pastoral services, and outcomes such as baccalauréat results or university destinations. These factors indicate whether a school’s practical offer matches your child’s language profile and longer-term plans.
