When applying for a place from 2nd Grade to Form V, pupils will need to do tests in English, Spanish and Mathematics. These are intended to inform us what concepts the pupils understand and what skills they have developed. Children may not have the expected academic levels in the three basic subjects, but if they have the potential and parental support, they may still be offered a place.
Also, they will do a simple Psychology test to inform us of their cognitive and emotional intelligence.

We fully recognise that selecting the right school for your child is one of the most important decisions that you will have to make as a parent. You need to ensure that the school’s educational philosophy and values are aligned with your own views, that the curriculum offers a broad and balanced range of subjects and extra-curricular activities, and that the school’s campus and facilities promote a rich educational experience in a safe environment.
Before selecting a school, we recommend that you carefully read its website and then visit its facilities. At Newton College, we offer you a guided tour of our campus, take you into classrooms to see how our pupils learn and invite you to speak to our staff. We would like you to experience the authentic ethos of the school.
What is the limit birthdate for an applicant to enter a grade?
By March 31st the child must have the minimum age for that grade.
Is there a number of places reserved for foreign families?
No, all places are available to Peruvian and foreign families and they are reserved once the applicant is evaluated, accepted and the entrance fee has been paid.
Are classes taught only in english?
Newton College is a bilingual school with a partial immersion programme. In Early Years and Lower School 50% of courses are taught in English and 50% in Spanish. As the student progresses through Upper School, more courses are taught in English. In the IB Diploma Programme, a student may study five of the six subjects in English and thus obtain the IB Bilingual Diploma.
Is there any other foreign language taught at newton?
yes, we offer French, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese or Mandarin Chinese. Students can study this language right through to the IB Diploma Programme.
Is it possible to finish an academic year coming from a foreign school with the same school calendar?
Yes, as long as the student transfers before August. Official certificates have to be presented beforehand for all grades up to the previous year and report cards from the last two years.
Do applicants receive beforehand information regarding what topics will they be tested in?
No, applicants are given general diagnostic tests for their age. These inform us of the child’s level of knowledge and skills. They do not solely determine entrance into the school.
If the applicant is not admitted, can he/she re-apply?
Yes, after one year.
Is there a priority for entrance?
Yes, siblings of current students and ex-alumni children have a priority, since we regard it as important for a family to be together.
Is the refectory service included in the fees?
No, this service is optional and involves an additional cost for a healthy, three-course meal which is prepared in kitchens on site.
Does the school provide transport?
The school provides free bus transport to school in the mornings from specific pick-up points, currently in La Molina, Surco and San Borja. This service aims to help decongest and decontaminate the roads of Lima. The school also coordinates with owners of mini-buses to provide door-to-door transport in the mornings and afternoons. This service is at an extra cost.
Are there any plans for settling into our school?
We understand that entering a new school can be an unnerving experience for some students and their parents too.
Once a child is accepted, our Admissions Officer will inform parents what preparations need to be made before the first day of school (e.g. timetables, the purchase of school uniform, access to the school Intranet, etc.). Likewise, we will explain to you how to pay fees and how to register for the lunch service in our refectory.
Heads of Level will explain the systems that are in operation with regard to attendance and punctuality, communication between school and home, conduct expectations, extra-curricular activities, etc. They will also explain the Parents’ Ethical Guide, which is a set of conducts related to each of our four school values that we would like parents to model.
If parents wish, the Head of Level will assign them a current Newton family to help them settle into the Newton community. Usually, the assigned family will be the parents of the pupil who will be the new student’s “buddy” for the first few weeks. The buddy will help the new pupil to feel comfortable and feel at ease.
In the case of very young pupils who enter Early Years, parents will be allowed to accompany their child during a reasonable adaptation period.
Our Parents and Teachers Association (PTA) is also available to answer any queries that new parents may have.
The most important contact person for new parents is their child’s tutor. Parents may ask for a meeting with the tutor (or other teachers) to learn more about their child’s academic progress, overall performance and integration into our school.
