Exam Results

All students follow the Diploma Programme, with the Diploma completed in Grades 10 and 11; the Diploma pass rate is typically at least 80% of the graduating cohort, and often higher.

Higher Education Progression

Graduates are admitted to universities around the world, with destinations including Canada, the United States, Spain, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Australia, Italy, Argentina, Mexico, Korea, Brazil, China and Colombia. The most recent data shows 50% admission to international universities in 2023.

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

The school was founded in 1980 and began life in a house in San Isidro. It moved to its current site in Santiago de Surco in 1985, at which time the site was a large plot of land with no buildings or grass. The first classes were held in wooden prefabricated classrooms. Over the years permanent buildings were added, with Primary established in 1986–87 and Secondary (two storeys) in 1992–93. The Arts and Sports building was partially inaugurated in 1998, and the theatre was formally inaugurated in 2011. Hiram Bingham has always pursued an international outlook and a British connection. The founder headmistress, Elsie Eckford, was British, and this tradition has been maintained with Derek Pringle, who has been the director for more than 25 years in total. The “House” system, common to many British schools, was introduced in 1988. Isabel Massa is a founder who has served as promoter and administrator for more than 40 years, playing a key role in the school's growth and in supervising major works over the decades. Her strong ethical sense has left a lasting impression on the school's spirit. The school began as a girls' school, but from 1998 boys were admitted. The 1980 cohort consisted of 49 students; today the student body is over 600. The core priority remains very personalized attention within a family-like environment, with a maximum of 50 students per year group. The wellbeing of students remains the top priority. In 2022, the school became the first in Peru to be evaluated by the IB across the continuum of all programmes.

- Primary and Secondary (per monthly pension): PEN 2,500. Estimated annual total if paid in ten instalments: PEN 25,000 (PEN 2,500 × 10).

Billing schedule and payment terms

- The annual tuition is structured so it can be paid in ten monthly instalments (referred to as pensiones) from March through December. Each monthly pension must be paid by the last day of the corresponding month. Late payments incur a moratory interest rate as determined by the Central Bank for operations between non‑bank parties.
- Payment is completed by presenting the bank payment voucher and exchanging it for the school's official receipt; payments are made to the bank account designated by the school. The school may withhold study certificates and may deny re‑enrolment if payments or agreed schedules are not met.

- IB examination and certification fees (for Diploma Programme students) are charged separately in US dollars; these amounts are billed to parents and include the IB fees plus any bank transfer costs. The IB exam fee schedule is split into two instalments as published by the school for the relevant exam cycle (example: 50% by mid‑February and 50% by end‑April for the November session). Failure to pay IB fees by the stated dates will prevent a student from sitting the international examinations.

Refund and cancellation policy

- The one‑time admission/entry fee (cuota de ingreso) is governed by national regulation and is refundable only under the limited conditions set out in the applicable national decrees and their regulations. General refunds of the entry fee are not provided outside those legally specified circumstances. The school's internal regulations also specify that unpaid tuition may lead to withholding of certificates and non‑ratification of future enrolment until obligations are cleared.

Fee payment options

- Regular tuition payments (pensiones) and the one‑time entry fee are processed via the bank account(s) designated by the school; parents pay and exchange the bank voucher for the school receipt. IB examination fees are collected in an account in US dollars and require bank transfer (with transfer costs borne by the payer). The school's regulations reference payment at the designated bank and bank transfer for IB fees. Specific acceptance of credit cards is not specified in the published payment rules.

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

The school fosters a climate of convivencia that supports the teaching and learning process. This is achieved through self-discipline rather than mere reliance on authority. The convivencia framework promotes student growth through accompaniment, focusing on reflection and attitude change rather than punitive discipline. All educators work on preventing disciplinary infractions, with particular attention to identifying individual, group, or family issues that could trigger misbehavior or misuses of freedom.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

From early years, gradual language immersion is promoted, using dynamic methodologies that integrate academic content with real-life situations. This fosters not only language learning but also greater confidence and fluency in everyday use. In addition, students have access to international certifications that validate their English level and broaden their academic and professional opportunities. English proficiency at Villa Alarife is not only an academic objective but an essential tool for holistic development.

Mental Wellbeing

We strive to create a climate of convivencia conducive to the teaching‑learning process, recognizing wellbeing comes from self‑discipline and a supportive classroom. The convivencia framework promotes student growth through accompaniment, emphasizing reflection and attitude change rather than punishment.

Safeguarding

Educators work on preventing disciplinary infractions, with particular attention to detecting individual, group, or family issues that could trigger misbehavior or misuse of freedom, ensuring a safe and supportive learning environment.

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.

Higher Education Progression

The school has been recognized for academic excellence due to the outstanding performance of its students in the best universities of Peru and around the world.

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

Accompaniment is a fundamental pillar of Villa Caritas' educational approach. It promotes personal knowledge and helps students become the best version of themselves. Education is person-centered, nurturing both academic and personal development from the early years. Together with families, students learn to face life, cope with frustrations, and develop social responsibility. A Student Personal Plan (PPA) is created at entry to provide continuous, comprehensive guidance as students progress. The Guidance Program guides self-discovery and university planning, with individualized support from a dedicated counselor.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)

Learning Support Services (LSS) are provided, led by a professional specialist in learning problems; each level has a specialist and there is a general coordinator working with the Psychopedagogical, Acompañamiento and academic teams. The Universal Design for Learning (DUA) framework is used to ensure inclusive access and multiple pathways for learning. In-class differentiation is implemented with strategies such as extra time, seating adjustments, and varied tasks to meet diverse needs. Evaluations, adaptive accommodations, and supports such as an Individualized Support Program and inclusive adaptations are used to address learners with disabilities or talents. Exam accommodations for IB Diploma and other assessments are available as part of the inclusive approach.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

English immersion begins in Early Years with bilingual teachers, and 80% of classes are taught in English, a format maintained through Lower School, Upper School, and the IB program. Students certify their English through the Cambridge ESOL scheme, with tests including YLE, PET, FCE, followed by IGCSE and English B HL to ensure an advanced level at graduation. From the 3rd grade, students may study a third language, with German or French offered; there are DELF certifications for French and Sprachdiplom for German.

Mental Wellbeing

The Guidance Program plays a key role in the comprehensive development of students and supports the adolescent life project. In upper school, it guides self-discovery from grade 9 through to the culmination of grade 11 or the second IB Diploma year, including the university selection process. The Guidance Counseling department provides individualized support to each student, helping them explore Peruvian and international universities and make informed decisions about their academic and professional futures. A Student Personal Plan (PPA) is developed to support ongoing personal growth in collaboration with families. The school emphasizes developing personal and social skills as part of daily learning experiences.

Safeguarding

Escuela Segura ensures the safety of students by fostering a safe environment. Staff receive Virtus training, a globally recognized program for safeguarding adults, children and youth. A psychopedagogical team responds quickly to any suspected violence, and the Convivencia Manual establishes behavior expectations and consequences. Comprehensive safety protocols address risks including nursing care, convivencia protocols, emergencies, earthquakes, and internal supervision. An Ethics Code outlines expectations for behavior and inter-personal relations, and staff undergo thorough recruitment to ensure alignment with the school's safeguarding standards.

Admissions

1. Initiate the application by submitting the Online Enquiry Form. 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.

A third-party directory lists a single “Valor Colegiatura S/ 1,600” entry for Colegio Los Álamos (level not specified); this listing should be treated as a third-party reference and not an official, itemised fee schedule.
