Senior School
From ages 12 to 17, students pursue the National Curriculum established by MINEDUC, complemented by elective subjects. We offer a rigorous academic education that prepares students for the PAES and supports their transition to higher education.

Strong academic results begin with students who feel challenged, supported and engaged in learning.
Students across ISP schools consistently achieve results above local and international benchmarks through learning experiences that challenge thinking, deepen understanding and help every learner keep getting better.
Students are growing up in a world shaped by rapid technological change, uncertainty and challenges we cannot yet predict.
To thrive, they need the skills that give them the curiosity to question, the confidence to adapt, the ability to collaborate and the resilience to keep learning throughout life.
International Schools Partnership – ISP has partnered with Camtree at Hughes Hall, University of Cambridge, in developing ways to embed life competencies into everyday learning experiences across ISP Schools worldwide.
Language opens doors to new cultures, perspectives and opportunities.
Students across ISP schools develop proficiency in multiple world languages while continuing to strengthen their home or first language.
Through meaningful learning experiences and international collaboration, students build the confidence to communicate across cultures and thrive in global environments.
International learning experiences help students see beyond their own environment and understand the world from different perspectives.
Students across ISP Schools take part in unique collaborations, exchanges, competitions and global experiences that encourage curiosity, teamwork and independent thinking.
Working with global partners, these life changing opportunities help students build confidence, strengthen relationships and adapt to new experiences across cultures and countries.
Every student’s future pathway is different and through our Future Pathways programme, families are supported by specialist counsellors and advisors who guide subject choices, university applications and career decisions with personalised support throughout the learning journey.
University fairs, global experts and our A–Z Speaker Series help students explore emerging careers and future industries with confidence.
Students benefit from exclusive ISP scholarships and opportunities with some of the world’s most recognised institutions.

José Luis Avilés
Head of School
How do we support our children from their earliest years?
In Preschool, care and connection are the foundation of learning. Before letters and numbers, children need to feel safe, valued, and heard. Only then do they gain the confidence to explore the world around them.
Paula Astorquiza
Head of Early Years
In Primary School, students begin to discover what they enjoy, what they are good at, and what makes them feel proud of themselves.
Our role as a school is to support that journey of self-discovery by providing a strong academic foundation while creating an environment where students feel comfortable making mistakes, trying again, and developing their own interests.
Daniela Von Marées
Head of Primary School
In Senior School, we guide our students through one of the most important questions they will ever face: What do I want to do with my life?
We do not expect them to have the answer overnight. Instead, we help them develop the knowledge, critical thinking, and self-awareness to thoughtfully discern their vocation, while providing them with the guidance and opportunities they need to pursue the path they choose with confidence.
Enzo Saldías
Head of Senior School
We make sure the admissions process feels clear, smooth and welcoming for your family.
