What Colegio Santa María Marianistas does

Colegio Santa María Marianistas is a private Catholic K-12 school located in Santiago de Surco, Lima, Peru, founded in 1939 and operated under the Marianist educational tradition. The institution serves approximately 1,010 male students spanning 5th grade of primary through 5th year of secondary, employing 94 teachers across 10 academic areas and 51 learning environments on an 11-hectare single-story campus. It is a member of the Red Educativa Marianista, a global network of 200+ Marianist institutions across 30+ countries and 6 continents, and is one of four Marianist schools in Peru.

The school's academic program is anchored by the authorized International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (MYP) for students aged 11-16, Cambridge English YLE certifications (Movers and Flyers), and a structured pastoral formation program built around Catholic Marianist values of integral education, family spirit, service and justice, and adaptation to change. The school operates a web-based communications platform ("App SM") for grade reporting and parent engagement, a Google Sites virtual library, and complementary offerings including a Summer School program, after-school Talleres workshops, Model United Nations participation, and university counseling. Strategic partnerships include the International Baccalaureate organization, Cambridge Assessment English, ASCIBP, Universidad de Navarra, and IE Business School.

The revenue model is a subscription-based annual tuition structure billed per family, supplemented by ancillary fees for workshops, summer programs, and certification assessments. The school operates a direct-to-consumer enrollment motion through its admission office at Av. La Floresta 250, Surco, with families undergoing evaluations, psychological assessments, and parent interviews as part of a vacancy-based selection process. Scholarship programs (Becas 2026) are available but not publicly detailed, and tuition rates are not disclosed on the public website.
