About Curriculum and Evaluation

Our curriculum has a combination of the most meaningful elements from the Peruvian, British expectations and from academic requirements of the IGCSE (INTERNATIONAL GENERAL CERTIFICATE OF SECONDARY EDUCATION) The educational programme is demanding and is developed by means of learning strategies and thinking skills. We are not looking for teaching our pupils to learn in a mechanic or repetitive way. We want them to be able to access and process information instead of only memorizing it.  

 As a part of our integral formation, we promote the bilingual learning, and we guide them in an international perspective and with a level of responsibility centred in the conscience of their actions. To achieve this, a set of demanding criteria for graduation have been designed. They not only take into consideration the academic achievements but also the effort, the conduct and their contribution to the school life. As a preparation to enter the University of their choice and specially to confront the demands of our growing changing world, we offer a strict preparation of each academic subject, and as instruments to measure their achievements, our pupils sit half-yearly and yearly exams. Precisely, part of the academic severity is sitting the international exams from the University of Cambridge in English, Spanish, Information Technology, Sciences, Maths and History. 

 We look to develop in the pupil an emphasized sensibility with their social and natural environment. In the first case, our pupils participate actively in projects for community support, such as activities with La Liga Peruana de Lucha Contra el Cáncer, the Firemen, Burnt Children in Belen Hospital, the Old Age Home, Operation Smile, among others. To develop sensibility towards their location’s natural environment and that of their region, we set up instructive visits and work trips, which also encourage experiential learning and a better social and cultural appreciation. 

We enhance sports and communication abilities as well as artistic sensibility by means of workshops, competitions and internal and external events, such as Internal Olympic Games, Juegos Florales, the Week of English, the Peruvian Night, The Criolla Night, The Musical  the Art Exhibition etc. 

Approximately 100% of pupils who graduate each year are accepted by national universities and also foreign ones. Their academic success is highly recognized by the Peruvian prestigious institutions, such as la Pontificia Universidad Católica de Lima, la Universidad Privada de Piura, la Universidad de Lima, la Universidad de Ciencias Aplicadas y la Universidad San Ignacio de Loyola, with whom we have special agreements. We also have old pupils studying in universities in the United States, Germany and Holland.

ACTIVIDADES COMPLEMENTARIAS

Adding to the academic contents, the school offers a variety of options during six months in extra-curricular activities, in sports as well as in recreation, languages, visual and performing arts, music and dance.  Our football, basketball, gymnastics and recently hockey teams are well recognized. In the last years, the formation of the Junior Achievement where the pupils can gain knowledge and experience in business management has become equally important.

We organize important activities with BSP, or British Schools of Perú, like stories and short plays competitions, as well as theatre workshops, debates and sports. Answering invitations from organizations such as Round Square and Operation Smile, our pupils participate with them in special communal projection trips. Adding to that and in a periodical way we organize an educational trip to London.
