Fundación Educacional Santiago College is a private educational (PK-12) institution in Santiago, Chile, founded in 1880. It was founded by American Methodist Ira H. La Fetra and his wife as a girls boarding school. In March 1972 the school became co-ed.

School structure[]

The school is split into three sections:

The 'Primary Years Program' consists of students from Pre-Kinder to 5th Grade. At this stage, Spanish, Religion, Physical Education (PE) and Art are taught in Spanish, with other classes being taught in English.

The 'Middle Years Program' consists of students from grades 6 to 8. At this stage, Religion, Physical Education (PE), Spanish, Technology and Art are taught in Spanish, with other classes being taught in English.

Students in grades 9 through 12 are classified as 'Diploma Program students'. At this stage, all subjects are taught in Spanish.

Campus[]

The school was originally located at 17 Vergara Street in downtown Santiago,^[1] and in the following years it moved into various, increasingly larger locations to accommodate the arrival of new students. The 'Los Leones' campus that was built in Providencia in 1932 housed the school until 2013, when Santiago College moved to Los Trapenses in Lo Barnechea, an upper class neighborhood at the outskirts of Santiago.^[2]
