Santiago College: a bilingual school

Santiago College is a bilingual Chilean school with an international curriculum. It is recognized for providing top-level English instruction. Our school combines the Chilean national curriculum with the International Baccalaureate Programs Primary Years Program (PYP), Middle Years Program (MYP) and Diploma Program. The vast majority of Santiago College students are Chilean nationals, though we do have students from many different countries.

All PYP classes are taught in English except for Spanish, Religion, Physical Education (PE) and Art.

All MYP (Grades 6 to 8) classes are taught in English except for Religion, Physical Education (PE), Spanish, Technology and Art.

Almost all MYP and Diploma Program classes for 9th through 12th graders are taught in Spanish. However, all Santiago College graduates are expected to achieve a high level of proficiency in English.

In 2006, the school had a 100% pass rate in the IB Diploma English examinations.
