True to its mission to provide academic excellence in a bilingual setting, Santiago College immerses students in an international curriculum in both English and Spanish languages.
Across the three International Baccalaureate (IB) programmes offered, students develop as agents of change who will contribute actively to the development of society in a globalized world, embodying the school’s community values.
The Academic Coordination team is responsible for developing a coherent curriculum that integrates the IB programs and pedagogical principles with national requirements, ensuring that the sum of student experiences prepares them for learning at school, university, and in life beyond. The quality of our academic programs is endorsed by our international accreditations from the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO), the Council of International Schools (CIS), and the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC).
Continuous professional learning is a hallmark of innovative, high-quality teaching and learning. Teachers and support staff participate in a wide variety of learning opportunities to continuously improve the educational services we provide for all our students, as well as our capacity to support the diversity of our learners. The involvement of a number of our faculty as active members of the International Baccalaureate Educators Network (IBEN) not only keeps them connected to global best practices but also brings valuable insights, strategies, and innovations back to our school, strengthening our collective capacity to deliver high-quality, inclusive learning for all students.
Continuous improvement is necessarily supported by the availability, analysis, and use of learning and socio-emotional data. By developing analytic dashboards, SC Academic Coordination gives faculty timely and secure access to the information they need to support our students.
