WELCOME TO OUR INTERNATIONAL LOWER SCHOOL IN PERU

At Colegio Peruano Británico, our comprehensive Lower School curriculum immerses our young learners in a world-class Primary School education in Lima, Peru. Inspired by outstanding teachers, unique learning experiences, and excellent facilities, your child will embark on an exciting journey that provides everything they need for success.

Here, we understand that every child is different, which is why our Lower School teachers adapt learning to individual needs, preferences, and interests. This ensures our students gain the knowledge and skills they need to achieve their very best.

SPECIALIST LEARNING AREAS

  • Physical Education
    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.
  • English
    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.
  • French
    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.
  • Mathematics
    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.
  • Religious Education
    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.
CPB_Peru_May_2023_062
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.
CPB_AcademicXL_Vistimeline_374x249_14
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.
CPB_Admissions_Vistimeline_374x249_3
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.
CPB_Peru_May_2023_050
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.

CULTURAL AND ARTISTIC EXPRESSION IN LOWER SCHOOL

The arts are an integral part of the curriculum at Colegio Peruano Británico, much like they are across society. Through both traditional and contemporary experiences, our Lower School students learn to express themselves, become more creative, understand reality, and imagine new possibilities. They also discover the cultural influences that surround them, our diverse history, and learn about who they are.

DEVELOPING EXCELLENT COMMUNICATION SKILLS

Across our Primary School curriculum, students develop their communication skills and learn how to interact with others. Your child will enhance their written and spoken language skills, as they grow their awareness and make sense of different experiences.

Through positive communication, our learners build strong bonds, take on different perspectives, and effectively share their ideas. They also develop their own ‘voice’, giving them confidence as they progress into Upper School.
