Santiago College is a bilingual, independent, coeducational
day school, founded as a non-sectarian institution in 1880
with support from the US Methodist Church.
The educational programme at Santiago College meets the
requirements of the Chilean Ministry of Education and is
authorized to deliver the three International Baccalaureate
programmes. It holds accreditation and is a member of
ECIS/CIS (European Council of International Schools/Council
of International Schools) and NEASC (New England
Association of Schools and Colleges).
Students normally enter Santiago College at PK level and stay
until they graduate from 12th grade. The students are mainly
Chilean but a number of students come from other countries
and priority admission is given to overseas applicants.
Approximately 90% of the graduating class enters Chilean
universities and the rest pursue studies in the USA or Europe.
The school operates a 180-day minimum calendar starting in
early March and ending in mid-December. PK and kindergarten
children have a half-day schedule. All other grades have a full
school day beginning at 08:00 and ending at 15:35.
The school campus of 3.3 hectares is located close to the city
centre. Facilities include a library of 30,000 volumes, 62
classrooms, AV rooms, gymnasiums, playing fields, science
labs and computer labs, music and art studios and a dining
room. The school owns an 11.2-hectare campus at La Dehesa,
a suburb of Santiago, where most sports and physical
education activities take place in large playing fields and
sporting facilities.
Santiago College is a leader in education that offers a
distinctive tradition of bilingual academic excellence
grounded on solid values and respect for diversity. The
mission of the school is to develop students who can
contribute to a global world in constant change.
In March 2012 the school will move into its new campus
located on Camino Los Trapenses 4007, Lo Barnechea,
Santiago, Chile
