Project Summary

What is the Education internship in Peru all about?

The Education Internship in Peru takes place in a small primary school hosting Year 1 through 6th and is located in a small town just outside of Cusco. The school’s resources are very limited as there are only 1 teacher for the entire school teaching all subjects for all grades. Interns on this education internship will assist the teacher with all basic subjects such as mathematics, science, reading, amongst others. The school also host activities and lessons surrounding environmentalism. A small garden is maintained on the school premises by the teacher and the students.


What are the benefits of interning in Education in Peru?

  • Be exposed to the Peruvian educational sector and learn of the obstacles a rural community are challenged with.
  • Gain experience teaching abroad in a different context than your own.
  • Make new friends and learn about Peruvian traditions along the way.

Role of the Education Intern

As an education intern in Peru, you will gain exposure and further understanding on the operations of a small school in a rural community of Peru. You will be able to support the school and the teacher by assisting with classroom activities while also participating in schools improvements, including maintaining the special garden. You may get involved in activities like construction and maintenance, as well as mural painting, classroom decorating and alike. Every day, there will allotted time on the schedule to teach English to the students. Depending on your interests and skills, you may also get involved in teaching computer classes. Education interns in Peru also lead workshops for community members and parents on topics such as sanitation, childcare, English language, recycling, and other subjects depending on your personal interests. The goals of the workshops are to contribute to the academic and the social developments of the entire community. Finally, interns are also asked to assess the needs of the school’s resources by the end of their internship. This information is essential as the school organizes fundraisers or submit grant applications. Interns may also be able to get involved with fundraising goals and activities if that’s something of interest.


What do I need to be an intern as in Education in Peru?

Previous experience in a classroom-setting is helpful. Interns will be responsible for creating lesson plans and therefore should have a basic understanding of how to structure and lead a lesson. Academic/youth development enrichment skills are preferred – interns should have an idea of which subjects he/she can facilitate during the internship prior to arrival in-country. There are no language requirements for this internship, but basic-intermediate Spanish is helpful and recommended.
You will be required to submit a CV, as well as to go through a phone interview for the vetting process before your placement is confirmed.
