Relocation guide
Moving to Lima with kids
Computed from 18 tracked schools — verified fees, live availability, no brochure numbers. All relocation guides →
In Lima, a realistic annual budget per child sits around $8,000, with the middle half of reported fees running from roughly $6,700 to $12,700; for senior years, the local-currency median is PEN 30,425, with a PEN 26,690–37,075 quartile spread, broadly aligning with a senior median of $8,123. There is no inflation series here, so for a five-year posting you should treat today’s numbers as a baseline rather than a reliable forward cost. The choice set is reasonably broad rather than infinite: across 18 schools, families are mainly choosing between Peruvian (7), IB (6), British (4) and American (2) options, with smaller representation for the Peruvian National Curriculum (3) and German Abitur (1). Admissions pressure is currently low: all six assessed schools were open, with no waitlists and no closures.
