American British School

The school promotes a holistic educational approach that addresses the cognitive, emotional, social, physical, and spiritual dimensions of its students. It is committed to a 'Safeguarding Culture' that ensures a safe, trusting, and healthy environment, while fostering global perspectives, empathy, and intercultural understanding.

The curriculum features an intensive English programme starting from Kindergarten, focusing on the four linguistic skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The school integrates digital learning and 'Digital Citizenship' into its academic framework, alongside specialized programmes such as 'Líderes del mañana' and 'Emprendimiento Empresarial' for senior students.

Students have achieved recognition in national academic and financial rankings, including top scores in the PAES (University Access Test). The school also fosters leadership through specific programmes like 'Líderes del mañana' for 15-16 year olds and 'Emprendimiento Empresarial' for 16-17 year olds.

The school implements a 'Safeguarding Culture' to prioritize student well-being, supported by clear protocols and staff training. It also offers a 'Programa de Acompañamiento' (Support Programme) and maintains specific regulations and protocols for students with special educational needs (NEE).

The admissions process consists of four steps: online application, submission of digital documentation, an interview and evaluation (covering language, mathematics, English, and orientation), and online enrollment. Applicants must provide a birth certificate, promotion certificate, and, where applicable, a regular student certificate and personality report. A non-refundable registration fee of 1 UF per student is required.

The school operates on a semester-based academic calendar. Families can access specific calendars for each of the five campuses—First, Primary, Alicahue, Santa Irene, and Central—via the school's website to track holidays, events, and academic milestones.

The school operates across five distinct campuses in La Florida: First (Playgroup to Kínder), Primary (1st to 2nd Grade), Alicahue (3rd to 5th Grade), Santa Irene (5th to 6th Grade), and Central (7th Grade to IV Medio). These facilities support a range of academic and extracurricular activities, with a focus on providing a safe and secure environment for all students.

The school offers a variety of extracurricular activities, including academies and workshops. Students participate in competitive events such as inter-school science and technology debates and national sports competitions, including beach volleyball.
