The Grange School offers a bilingual, UK-inspired curriculum with English as the main language of instruction. Lower Prep uses the English Early Years Foundation Stage framework for Prekinder and Kinder, and blends the Chilean National Curriculum with the English National Curriculum for 1º–2º Básico. Upper Prep (3º Básico–6º Básico) centers on English literacy and numeracy with syllabuses drawn from the National Curriculum for England and Wales in combination with Chilean requirements, with specialist teaching in Music, Drama, Art and Design Technology. Senior School (7º Básico–4º EM) combines the Chilean curriculum with Cambridge IGCSE and A-Level programmes; English is a separate subject and many other subjects use English textbooks and resources; pupils are bilingual by Senior School. The Grange profile is built around four pillars: Academic, Sport, Arts and Service.
The Senior School prepares pupils for university entry anywhere in the world. The academic programme blends the Chilean curriculum with Cambridge IGCSE and A-Level examinations, with IGCSE and A-Levels taught in English and pupils typically being bilingual by the time they graduate. Pupils take approximately eight IGCSEs and on average two A-Level courses (some pupils take three), supporting pathways to UK and international universities as well as local Chilean universities via the PAES process.
