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.
