Curriculum

Markham College is a Candidate School for the Primary Years Programme (PYP). This school is pursuing authorization as an IB World School. These are schools that share a common philosophy—a commitment to high-quality and challenging international education that Markham College believes is important for our students. Only schools authorized by the IB organization can offer any of its four academic programmes: the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP), the Diploma Programme, or the Career-related Programme (CP). Candidate status gives no guarantee that authorization will be granted. For further information about the IB and its programmes, visit www.ibo.org

Markham´s curriculum is designed to provide the best possible learning experience, integrating international standards with the requirements of the Peruvian Ministry of Education. The Markham IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) emphasizes inquiry-based learning, collaboration, and student agency. Our new world-class Primary facilities, opened in March 2024, embody this approach with innovative spaces that break away from the traditional classroom model to foster independent learning and teamwork.

The facilities include modern science labs, an ICT, design, coding, and robotics innovation centre, and a food science lab where students explore nutrition as a science. Our performance centres for theatre and music, along with spaces for visual art exhibitions, reflect our commitment to the arts. Sports remain central to student life, with our sports centre offering two competition courts and two swimming pools that cater to different ages and skill levels.
