Have you thought about the kind of education you want for<br />

your children? We have.<br />

Craighouse seeks to understand your child’s learning needs<br />

so that they can progress to his or her maximum potential.<br />

Our aim is to prepare our pupils with the skills, knowledge<br />

and caring attitude required to make a significant<br />

contribution to the world. Our community works towards this<br />

aim, both from inside and outside the classroom, through our<br />

excellent curriculum and the many extracurricular activities<br />

and events we participate in, organize and host.<br />

We believe that continuity and consistency in education is<br />

essential to student achievement. The implementation of the<br />

three <strong>IB</strong> programmes puts our pupils at the centre of inquirybased<br />

learning from playgroup to Year 12. In age-appropriate<br />

ways, we work to achieve and applaud the qualities identified<br />

in our student profile. We want Craighouse pupils to be<br />

mindful of being: inquirers, thinkers, communicators, risktakers,<br />

knowledgeable, principled, open-minded, caring,<br />

balanced, reflective, and resilient. Achieving this profile is a<br />

fantastic goal for all of us!<br />

Implemented in every year level, our personal and social<br />

development programme is another way we attain coherence<br />

and consistency in our school. This programme teaches<br />

children, from their early years, to talk about matters<br />

including identity, school culture, sex education, alcohol and<br />

drug abuse.<br />

Craighouse is a Chilean school with British roots and an<br />

international approach and outlook. Pupils from playgroup to<br />

Year 6 are taught through the medium of English, within a<br />

context of total immersion. From Year 7 to Year 12, pupils have<br />

upwards of five hours a week of English language and<br />

literature classes, often with native English language<br />

teachers. All trips within and outside Chile are organized<br />

around cultural themes and sports venues. These occasions<br />

not only enrich the curriculum but also give our pupils<br />

opportunities for fine-tuning their language and<br />

communication skills.<br />

Finally, our school is a place where your children can grow<br />

and achieve their dreams. We invite you to contact us for<br />

further information.
