School News

Cambridge College and Hiram Bingham School

Teachers Teaching Teachers (TTT) started in 2002 as an initiative of Colegio Roosevelt and was hosted by Markham College in 2003, and in 2004, by Newton College.

It involves all the teachers from the British Schools of Peru (BSP), the Peruvian members of the Latin American Heads Conference (LAHC) and Colegio Roosevelt. The aim is for teachers from these nine schools to share with other teachers new ideas that they have tried and tested in their own classroom through one-hour long workshops.

On June 3rd, Hiram Bingham School will be hosting TTT for Secondary teachers whilst Cambridge College will host TTT for Early Years and Primary teachers.

Colegio Roosevelt

Annual Roosevelt Carnival - thanks to our Parents Association, this year's Carnival promises to be a wonderful event. Scheduled for Saturday May 20, it will be a day of rides, games, food and fun for the Roosevelt family and friends. We invite you to bring you children and join the fun!

Roosevelt 8th Graders Focus on the Community - Roosevelt has a long-standing commitment to community service and our Middle School Community Focus project is a perfect example. Venturing into the community to execute a solution provides Roosevelt students with unique opportunities that include interacting with people from different social backgrounds, organizing work schedules and workers, interacting with business leaders, as well as fundraising and managing donations. Through their experiences, students learn to see life from different angles and broaden their perspectives. Moreover, they soon learn that diligence, creativity, teamwork, and a little faith can go a very long way!

Our students will make their final project presentations to the Roosevelt community on May 25 and 26 on campus in the Little Theater. If you would like to join us, please send an email to Anne Arrarte at aarrarte@amersol.edu.pe

International Cultures Week will be taking place during the week of May 29 until June 2. This is always an exciting time for our students and families as we learn about and celebrate the many different cultures represented in our student body.

One of the highlights of the week is when all the parents prepare their favorite food from their home country and join us for a great lunch.
