Pupils build a strong academic foundation through the Chilean National Curriculum set by the Ministry of Education (MINEDUC), enriched by active methodologies that nurture curiosity and critical thinking.
Learning is supported through meaningful experiences, interdisciplinary projects and close guidance from teachers. This approach enables each student to deepen their understanding, develop effective study habits and strengthen the skills needed to progress confidently through their educational journey.
During Primary School, children develop the essential competencies that support both personal and academic growth. Through collaborative work, project-based learning and experiences in the arts, sport and technology, they strengthen skills such as communication, creativity and problem-solving.
Experiences inside and outside the classroom encourage active participation, independence and respect for others. The school also promotes values such as responsibility, empathy and commitment to the community.
In Primary School, students continue to develop their English skills within a learning environment that fosters intercultural communication and understanding. The language is progressively integrated into a wide range of learning activities and experiences.
This approach helps pupils build confidence in communication, broaden their vocabulary and develop language skills that support their future academic success.
English learning is complemented by the development of Spanish as a first language, supporting a balanced education that prepares them to thrive with confidence in an increasingly global world.
Each year, learners have the opportunity to take part in enriching multicultural and multilingual experiences through ISP's International Learning Opportunities for Students (ILOS). Whether representing a country as a delegate at the United Nations or connecting with peers from around the world, ILOS programmes offer meaningful global experiences that broaden pupils’ horizons.
Each ILOS programme is carefully designed to inspire our students explore their passions and equip them to thrive in today’s interconnected world.
As an alumna, I experienced the school from the inside and have very fond memories of my time there. Because of this positive experience, we decided to enrol our daughter here as well. The school stands out for its strong academic standards and for having teachers with extensive experience.
