Santiago College

Santiago College provides a holistic, bilingual education that merges 145 years of tradition with an innovative spirit. It aims to form confident, self-directed, lifelong learners who possess intercultural understanding and a commitment to social values, focusing on the intellectual, creative, spiritual, personal, social, emotional, and physical well-being of its students.

The school offers a continuum of three International Baccalaureate (IB) programmes: the Primary Years Programme (PYP) for Infant and Lower School, the Middle Years Programme (MYP) for Middle School, and the Diploma Programme (DP) for High School. The curriculum covers a wide range of subjects including Languages, Mathematics, Sciences, Individuals and Societies, and the Arts, while also fulfilling the requirements of the Chilean national curriculum.

Santiago College prepares students for higher education both in Chile and internationally, with graduates accessing universities in a wide variety of countries. The school's curriculum includes the mandatory IB Diploma Programme, which, alongside the Chilean national curriculum, ensures students are well-prepared for national university entrance examinations.

The school is committed to removing barriers to learning and well-being to support personal excellence. In compliance with local regulations, it works to ensure equal opportunities for applicants with disabilities, including the provision of necessary curricular accommodations.

Santiago College is a diverse, multicultural, and bilingual institution that admits students without discrimination. The application process is divided into two stages, with priority given to current school families and children of alumni. Applicants for Pre-Kindergarten must be at least 4 years old by March 31st of the entry year, and the process includes a group maturity evaluation and family interviews to assess alignment with the school's educational philosophy.

The school year at Santiago College begins in March and concludes in December. Detailed calendars for 2026 and 2027 are available for download on the school's website.
