Early Years English and Mathematics Coordinator

The School

Newton College is an innovative school with outstanding facilities in a very pleasant suburb of Lima, (please visit our website and school video: www.newton.edu.pe ).  We became the first school in Peru to deliver the IB curriculum and we own a large plot of land in the Amazon Rainforest where we administer a study centre for secondary pupils and university students.

We are a Peruvian-British, non-profit, coeducational school for pupils aged 2 to 18. We deliver the IB Primary Years and Diploma Programme. In 2019 we should be authorized to deliver the Middle Years Programme. Our students obtain the bilingual IB Diploma with results that are well above world average.

We offer a well-rounded education: every pupil learns to play a musical instrument, education for sustainable development underpins our curriculum, our MUN and Debates clubs and our sports teams have won many accolades. Our mission is to prepare students to become successful citizens who contribute to the well-being of their society.
