Accreditations

An accreditation is a tool that induces continuous improvement within an educational entity, since it acknowledges the general quality of its academic program.In this process, international standards are used which apply rigorous evaluation criteria.

Since 2021 Santiago College is governed by rigorous evaluation standards of:

• • International Baccalaureate (IB: https://www.ibo.org/es/ )
  • Council of International Schools (CIS: https://www.cois.org/)
  • New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC, S&C: www.neasc.org/).

Those who grant accreditation have the responsibility of establishing criteria, visiting and evaluating institutions, and delivering accreditations to those who meet the established parameters.
