Multilingual School, Cusco
Why choose Multilingual School, Cusco?
We are the first English-speaking kindergarten dedicated to nurturing bilingual children from non-English speaking families, aiming to provide them with better opportunities for their future lives 🚀🌟. In 2012, Peru ranked last among the 65 countries participating in the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA), which tested the educational skills of 15-year-olds worldwide. By 2015, Peru made slight progress, ranking 63rd out of 69 nations. However, this remains a critical issue for Peruvian students, with only students from the Dominican Republic faring worse in Latin America. These results stem not just from secondary education but also from inadequate early education, which fails to equip children with the necessary tools to build self-esteem and improve academic performance. At our school, we strive to elevate standards and provide children with the invaluable gift of a foreign language—specifically English. Why? English not only enriches children's lives by presenting opportunities but also fosters self-esteem and parental pride, inspiring continuous improvement. This impact will reverberate through society, expanding and growing with time. Our vision goes beyond the city limits. We have already organized summer lessons for children in an Andean community, bringing these benefits to those who have never had such opportunities before. Our unique teaching method for pre-reader children revolutionizes the way knowledge is imparted to those under 7 years old.

An Unforgettable Volunteer Journey in Cusco
June 16, 2026by: Raphael Pietin - FranceProgram: Volunteer with Children and Education in Cusco, Peru
Volunteering at the Multilingual School of Cusco has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my time in Peru. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed by a friendly and supportive team that made me feel like part of the school community. The staff genuinely care about both the students and volunteers, creating a positive and encouraging environment where everyone can contribute and grow. Working with the children was incredibly fulfilling. The students are enthusiastic, curious, and eager to learn, making every day enjoyable and meaningful. I had the opportunity to assist in classrooms, support educational activities, and share my own ideas while gaining valuable experience in education and cultural exchange. Beyond the volunteer work itself, living in Cusco was an unforgettable experience. The city is rich in history, culture, and stunning landscapes, offering countless opportunities for exploration during free time. The school also helped me better understand Peruvian culture and connect with local people in a way that would not have been possible as a regular tourist. I would highly recommend the Multilingual School of Cusco to anyone looking for a volunteer experience that combines meaningful work, personal growth, cultural immersion, and a welcoming community. I leave with wonderful memories, new friendships, and skills that I will carry with me for years to come:
