Our PE lessons are innovative and engaging, making the most of the latest social, scientific, and technological developments. We strive to instil positive habits related to physical, psychological, and emotional well-being, and raise awareness of the benefits of regular activity and healthy lifestyles.

We understand the importance of developing and maintaining our students’ English language skills through Primary School. We know that English bridges the gap between different languages and is a vital tool for success in our increasingly globalised world. As such, we teach in English across the subjects and offer dedicated instruction for those who need additional support.

Our French course broadens our students’ cultural horizons. Learning French gives our Lower School children an understanding and respect for other ways of thinking and acting, too. Our students read and express themselves fluently; value the French culture and its contributions to humanity; write clearly and coherently; adapt language to different situations; and express their ideas and opinions. They also go on to achieve international certifications.

Our Primary School Mathematics course applies key concepts to real-world contexts. Our students learn to search, organise, and analyse data and information; understand and interpret the world logically; make appropriate decisions; solve problems in different situations; and be flexible in their use of mathematical strategies and knowledge.

Science and Technology

Inquiry is at the heart of scientific learning at Colegio Peruano Británico, as we spark our students’ curiosity and encourage their natural desire to investigate and discover. Our learners ask questions, experiment, and find solutions in weekly lessons and laboratory sessions. They also test their ideas by getting hands on and making the most of technology.

We know that, throughout their education, our children will ask questions to find meaning in their lives. As such, we believe it’s essential they discover the existence of ‘being’ and ‘truth’, which can help to shape their identity. Our Religious Education programme also explains the phenomenon of religion in the history of mankind, past, and present.

Information Technology

Using the latest technology, we create endless possibilities for our Lower School students to express themselves, communicate, and interact. We use virtual environments created by scenarios, spaces, and objects, and teach our students to become responsible digital citizens. We also offer an array of hands-on experiences, including a robotics course that provides opportunities to code, program, and build.

PERSONAL AND SOCIAL EDUCATION

At our international Primary School in Lima, we strive to develop reflective and inquisitive young citizens who value their culture, respect the identities of others, and are willing to become agents of social change.

Our Lower School children are the next generation of global citizens, and we offer many opportunities for them to engage in the world around them. These experiences ensure they’re aware of their local and global communities, respect diversity, and understand shared histories. Our teachers will empower your child to think about the future, too, as we strive to create a democratic and harmonious coexistence that guarantees everyone’s well-being.

LOWER SCHOOL WORKSHOPS

We offer a variety of immersive workshops that hone our Lower School students’ skills in specialist areas.

Music

Music is an essential element of life at our diverse Primary School in Lima, and our workshops give students endless opportunities to express themselves – whether they’re playing songs from around the world or exploring Peruvian folk music and culture. Workshops spark curiosity through play, dance, movement, and research. Our students also learn to value the expressions of others, master techniques, and develop their own personality.

Chess

Our Chess workshops develop our Lower School students’ creative and logical thinking skills, as well as their reasoning and problem-solving. Playing chess stimulates the development of cognitive abilities that are transferable across all walks of life. Chess also introduces our students to long-held traditions.

Body Expression

Our Body Expression workshops encourage free and spontaneous movements that portray moods, sharpen the senses, and awaken our students’ sensitivity and awareness. We explore communication through movement, manifesting external actions through physical manoeuvres that reflect thoughts and feelings.

Folk and Contemporary Dance

Our Folk and Contemporary Dance workshops nurture our Lower School students’ expressive skills. Through different Peruvian dances, learners construct a sense of cultural and national identity. Contemporary dance enables us to express feelings, ideas, and stories through movement.

Theatre and Drama

Theatre is one of humanity’s oldest cultural expressions, and an essential creative medium at our Primary School in Peru. Our workshops encourage collaboration and social interaction, developing our students’ sense of community. Drama also develops positive behaviours, values, communication skills, trust, imagination, and creativity.

Karate

Our Karate workshops are underpinned by the true meaning of this ancient art form: ‘the way of the empty hand’. We understand that karate is more than a self-defence technique, and we explore the philosophical essence that guides our students’ moral and spiritual values.

A BREADTH OF TEACHING EXPERIENCE

Our talented international Primary School educators use their rich multicultural experience to help our students gain a global perspective of the world. At the forefront of educational innovation, our highly qualified teachers will inspire your child to learn, grow, and achieve their goals.
