Transportation service is optional and is available to students from EC3 through grade 12. Bus routes cover most residential areas of Lima. The school owns a fleet of buses, which offers safe transportation service and provides supervision. Parents also have the choice of driving their children to and from school.

Please contact the Office of Admissions at admissions@amersol.edu.pe as soon as you think that you will move to Lima in the near future, there is no need to have secure plans in place to make an initial inquiry.

Each applicant's record is considered carefully. Usually, Southern Hemisphere students who finish a grade in their home country in December will augment their learning with an additional semester at that same grade level at Colegio Roosevelt. Normally, a student is not immediately promoted to the next grade level, as it would mean skipping a full semester of that year's work.

Unfortunately, parents cannot meet with faculty or staff outside of the Office of Admissions due to the high number of applications we receive.

New families to Colegio Roosevelt will receive an acceptance email with the information regarding the entrance fee balance instructions. At a later date, they will receive instructions on how to complete the Registration Online, an invitation to the New Students and Parents Orientation, and an Online Resource Folder with thorough and detailed information about:
