Colegio Margaret Mead is a Montessori school in Magdalena del Mar, Lima, with 49 uninterrupted years of operation.

The method rests on the prepared environment —«the optimal space, specifically designed to support the child's development»— and on Montessori materials as a tool for that development. The classroom «brings together children of three different ages» and the adult is «a companion to the child on the path of their development and learning».
The programme covers every educational period from birth to age 18, organised into Comunidad Infantil, Casa de Niños, Taller 1 y 2, Comunidad de Adolescentes and Preparatoria. Its mission is to be «the leading champions and reference for Montessori Education in Peru» and to contribute «to the full development of people through an education of peace».
