Abstract	This research is an enquiry into non-Peruvian teacher turnover in Lima's international school sector. The findings are based on interviews conducted in November 2017 with educators employed in this field. Drawing its theoretical basis from phenomenology, the investigation adopts a case-study methodology. Through the lenses of power and agency, interview analysis focuses on schools' leadership policies and styles together with teachers' ideas regarding their own identities and professional status. In terms of teachers' experiences, agency and school administrations, the findings testify to a wide variety of conditions in this sector. The outcomes support claims made within existing published research for the interdependency of teacher agency, professional identity and organisational structures. While highlighting the link between teacher agency and job satisfaction, this research supports the view that leadership is a major factor influencing teacher turnover rates. (As Provided).
