Spear’s Review

Located near the Andean Mountain range in Santiago, one of the most vibrant cities in Latin America, The Grange School was founded in 1928 by Cheltenham College-educated John Jackson.

The school continues to provide a high-quality, broad education in line with the founder’s ethos, blending the Chilean national curriculum with the Cambridge IGCSE and A-Level curriculum for senior school students. And while history and tradition remain at the core of the school’s mission, it is also looking to the future, and has made strong progress in the areas of science, music, drama and art and design technology. 

Alongside its emphasis on academic achievements, the school has an extensive sporting and extracurricular programme: a comfortable library, state-of-the-art IT facilities and music rooms, a large sports hall and multiple playing fields support students in their efforts to reach their full potential and cultivate their individual interests.

Admissions

According to the school, following a registration of interest in a place at The Grange School, applicants are asked to submit relevant documentation, and parents or guardians attend an interview with members of the admissions committee.
