About international schools in Trujillo, Peru

Trujillo’s international-school scene is relatively small but diverse: several private schools in the city offer bilingual Spanish - English programmes and combine the Peruvian national curriculum with international pathways such as the International Baccalaureate and Cambridge/IGCSE options. English is commonly taught from the early years and a few schools run full IB or British-style sequences alongside Peruvian requirements. Fees vary by school and level but commonly run from several thousand soles a year for lower levels to the mid-five-figure range annually at schools with full international programmes; schools publish separate one-off enrollment charges (matrícula) plus monthly or termly tuition. The Peruvian school year runs roughly March to December, so most admissions activity concentrates in the months before March and mid-year transfers can be limited; relocating families should plan for Spanish as the community language and check diploma convalidation and required documents with each school early.

FAQs for Peru

What kinds of international curricula might my child find in Trujillo?
You will find a mix: some schools offer IB programmes (PYP, MYP, DP), others prepare students for Cambridge IGCSEs or follow a British-style curriculum while still meeting Peruvian national requirements. Many bilingual schools blend the national curriculum with international syllabuses so pupils can sit internationally recognised assessments if the school is authorised to do so.
Is instruction mainly in Spanish or English?
Spanish is the dominant community and administrative language, but schools vary in their medium of instruction: most bilingual schools teach core subjects in Spanish with intensive English lessons, while a smaller number offer a higher proportion of lessons in English or run English-medium international programmes. Check each school for EAL/ESL support if your child is not yet fluent in Spanish or English.
How much should I budget for fees in Trujillo?
Tuition depends on the school and the year group: published schedules show families commonly paying several thousand soles per year at primary level and higher amounts for secondary or full international-programme years, plus one-off enrollment and registration fees. Because billing practices differ (monthly, ten or eleven instalments, plus matrícula and occasional assessment fees), ask the school for a full fee schedule and an annual cost estimate before committing.
When should I apply and what documents will schools usually ask for?
Most admissions activity happens before the Peruvian academic year begins in March, so start enquiries several months in advance; some schools accept mid-year transfers but places may be limited. Typical documentation requests include the child’s ID or passport, birth certificate, recent school reports/transcripts, vaccination records and proof of residence, and you should ask each school how they handle course convalidation.
What practical checks should I make when visiting a school in Trujillo?
Confirm the school’s international authorisations or exam centre status (for example IB authorisation or Cambridge affiliation), inspect language-support provision and pastoral services, and ask about class sizes, assessment methods and university or next-step guidance. Also verify the fee schedule in writing, clarify transport and extracurricular options, and request a copy of the school’s admissions and withdrawal policy so there are no surprises after enrolment.
