Admissions

At Santiago College, we want your Admissions journey to feel inspiring, welcoming, and meaningful. More than just an entry process, it’s an opportunity for families to discover a culture that embraces over 145 years of history, innovation, and deeply rooted traditions.

Throughout Admissions, our goal is for families to experience the spirit of this great community—one that blends tradition with a forward-looking vision. Our program helps parents and guardians connect with an international school learning system that proudly carries the IB (International Baccalaureate) profile.

Santiago College is more than a school; it is a living community of learning and values. Our alma mater represents the source of knowledge, where respect, responsibility, and safety are guiding principles passed on from generation to generation. Together with families, we nurture multicultural, open-minded students prepared to lead their own paths as future global citizens.

Our nearly 11-hectare modern campus provides the perfect setting for a high-quality, bilingual, and comprehensive education that today welcomes more than 2,000 students.

Finally, we warmly invite you to join a collaborative Admissions process where families and our Educational Foundation work hand in hand. Our dedicated team is here to guide, support, and accompany you every step of the way—ensuring not only a trustworthy process, but also a truly welcoming experience.
