The educational programme at Santiago College meets the requirements of the Chilean Ministry of Education and the International Baccalaureate Organization and the school is a member of CIS and NEASC. The College has been broadened and enriched to incorporate North American and European ideas in curriculum development and teaching methods. The appointment of fluent English speakers is a primary goal of the school. Students normally enter Santiago College at PK level and stay until they graduate from 12th Grade. The students are mainly Chilean, but a considerable 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 remainder 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 08: 00 and ending at 15: 35. The school campus of 11 hectares is located in Lo Barnechea, 20 minutes drive from the city centre. Facilities include a library of 40, 000 volumes, 98 classrooms, AV rooms, an auditorium, gymnasium, playing fields, science labs and computer labs, music and art studios and one cafeteria. Students applying for admission to PK must be four years old by December 31st of the year prior to school entry. Santiago College accepts students without regard to gender, colour, creed, or ethnic, nationality or social origin. The selection process includes an interview with prospective students and their parents. | ||||||||||||||||||
