Newton College

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Newton College is an Anglo-Peruvian British school, in Lima Perú. It was founded in 1979 by Mr. Stanley J. Moulden, a former Markham School teacher. It is based on the I.G.C.S.E. curriculum (Cambridge University) up until Form III, then the IB (International Baccalaureate) program starts, with a choice of completing it in Forms IV and V, or staying on an extra year and completing it in Forms V and VI, thus postponing university entrance by a year. It is a bilingual (english and spanish) co-educational private school, though most of its classes are taught in english.

It was originally situated in a house in the San Isidro district and shortly after moved itself to the La Molina district, where it has continued to grow over the years, building the theater, gym facilities, pre-school area (Little Newton), a large sports area and finally a coliseum, inaugurated on September 28th, 2006.

In addition, the school has its own lodge situated in Tambopata, Madre de Dios, where students for each program go do field trips and take classes on Geography and Biology.

It has been awarded "Empresa Peruana del Año" (Peruvian Enterprise of the Year) in the School Category more than once.

The school has about 1300 students and 120 teachers.
