Markham College is an international school in Lima, Peru. Founded by British immigrants, Markham promotes a mixture of British and Peruvian education. Markham is an independent, non-profit, co-educational, bilingual, secular, day school of approximately 2,000 students aged 3–18. The school has 3 different sections located in Miraflores and Santiago de Surco in Lima.

Its students fulfil the Peruvian national curriculum as well as the IGCSE (International General Certificate of Secondary Education) programme from the University of Cambridge. Many students subsequently enrol in the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. All students take English examinations including the Preliminary English Test while in Primary 5 and the First Certificate in English in Secondary 2. Students not pursuing the IB programme take the Certificate in Advanced English in Secondary 5.

Markham has a strong social-service transversal to many of the out-of-class activities, in which help is promoted through collections, manual labour or other activities. From as early as Nursery, Markham students throughout the school help in both national and international service projects.

Students are known as Markhamians, while alumni are identified as Old Markhamians.
