The Peterson Schools provide levels from Preschool through High School. The curriculum is bilingual, with academic classes taught in English and Spanish, and is aligned to Common Core Standards and the International Primary Curriculum (IPC). In Elementary, all academic subjects are taught in English, and since the first grade fifty percent of subjects are taught in English and fifty percent in Spanish. Middle School uses the MAP (NWEA) assessments to monitor progress, with courses in Science, Biology, Physics, Digital Innovation, Social Studies, English, Spanish, Math, Geography, Mexican History, World History, and Visual and Performing Arts, complemented by a robust advisory program. High School begins with the Cambridge IGCSE program for 9th and 10th grades and culminates in the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme for 11th and 12th grades, a six-subject program that prepares students for university. Accreditations include Cambridge International Education, SAIS, IB Diploma Programme, COGNIA, and ICA, with IPC and UNAM/SEP recognition noted among affiliations.

The Peterson School runs a Gifted and Talented (G/T) program that serves identified GT students with a classroom-based and school-wide approach, guided by district guidelines. The G/T program provides enrichment opportunities and collaborative projects, and a dedicated GT committee helps plan specialized activities such as Science Olympiad, Invention Convention, Spelling Bee, and other enrichment experiences across grades 3–5 and beyond.

Holistic Development is a core focus at the Peterson Schools. The school creates a warm, caring environment to foster students' self-esteem and to develop their natural talents. Emotional Development aims to shape students into responsible, mindful citizens who can influence others positively in their environment and community. Social skills are developed through ongoing interaction with peers and faculty, reinforcing collaboration and respectful relationships. The school's values—Creativity, Curiosity, Honesty, Loyalty, Respect, and Responsibility—are embedded in everyday learning.

Total immersion in English is central to instruction, with English used across the curriculum. The curriculum is bilingual, with roughly half the modules taught in English and half in Spanish. English language proficiency is developed as a core aim, and subjects such as Science and Mathematics are taught in English to foster critical thinking and confident communication. Preschool through high school programming includes English as a language of instruction and ongoing language development opportunities.

The Psychology and Pedagogical Department works with students and parents to support overall progress and psychological health. Psychologists and teachers collaborate to prevent bullying and to support emotional well‑being. The program is connected to healthy parenting skills and matters related to the student's progress and development.
