School in Lima, Peru

Colegio Franklin Delano Roosevelt is a K–12 school in Lima, Peru, founded by a group of American families in the mid 1940s, with the intent of providing an American Education. While its first campus was in the San Isidro District, it eventually moved to the current location in Camacho, La Molina. There are approximately 1,590 students.

Colegio Franklin Delano Roosevelt is and was founded on the 3rd of December 1946 by American residents in Peru. It is a sectarian, non profit, private day school supported by student tuition and fees. The program is co educational, non residential and extends from early childhood (age 3) through twelfth grade. The school is governed by a 12 member Board of Directors representing the Instituto Educacional Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The American School of Lima is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and the Peruvian Ministry of Education.

The educational program is that of a United States college preparatory school. Education is bilingual featuring obligatory courses in both English and Spanish. The Pre K through grade 5 elementary school is organized in heterogeneous classroom units. On September 8, 2010, the superintendent, Russ Jones, announced at the school's Superforum, that the grade 6 through grade 8 middle school would be eliminated in favor of a grade 6 through grade 12 upper school, beginning in August 2011. The move was made to bring Colegio Roosevelt in line with other IBO world schools that offer the three International Baccalaureate programs on one campus. However, this was later revoked and there is an existing grade 6 8 middle school. Emphasis in the High School (grades 9–12) is on preparation for entrance into colleges or universities in the US, Peru, or other countries. The curriculum is designed to meet both United States and Peruvian standards. All students follow the U. S. program of studies. Peruvian or international students who also wish to obtain a Peruvian certificate will take some additional courses in order to meet the Peruvian Ministry of Education's requirements. Classes which vary in length meet for a minimum of 240 minutes per week the high school has a 7 period schedule with classes meeting 4 periods a week. Students may choose to obtain an International Baccalaureate Diploma, an Honors Diploma, a Peruvian Certificate, a United States diploma. If they obtain the Peruvian, then they automatically obtain the US. They can decide either to have the IB Diploma, or the Honors Diploma, which requires only 4 IB Courses, one at higher level, TOK, and the Service portion of CAS. The School also offers a range of programs for students with special needs, including mild learning disabilities, remedial, and English as a Second Language.
