Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
1. Online application. The applicant clicks Postule Aquí and provides the requested contact information to initiate contact with the Admissions team. This action starts the admissions process and enables the school to coordinate the next steps. 2. Complete digital form. The applicant completes and uploads the requested documents online, which allows the student to access the virtual evaluation. The fee for applicants from Playgroup through IV Medio is 1 UF and covers administrative costs for the admission exam. 3. Interview and evaluation. Once the documentation is received, an in-person interview and evaluation with the applicant are scheduled. The interview provides an opportunity for the Admissions team to learn about the applicant, and the timing and format are determined by the Admissions Department. 4. Online enrollment. If the process culminates successfully, enrollment can be completed online following the Admissions Department's instructions. Enrollment must be completed on time to secure the vacancy, and acceptance notifications include a 72-hour window to enroll.
In Educación Media, there are waiting lists for II Medio, III Medio, and IV Medio; vacancies and waitlists are shown in the Vacantes section for 2026.
American British School is a bilingual day school for ages 2 to 18. The early years follow the International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC), while Cambridge Primary and Cambridge Secondary guide the core program. The school is coeducational and delivers daily English immersion, with bilingual teachers trained in the Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP) and a Bilingual Academic Leader coordinating learning, assessment, and professional development. Reading and writing are developed with Phonics and Writer's Workshop in early years, and with Reader's Theater and Book Club in the later grades. After completing the bilingual program in 8th grade, students may participate in a two-week International Exchange in London. Since 2023 a Bilingual Student Summit connects Cognita bilingual schools in Chile, with ESU support. On campus, facilities include Computing and Science Laboratory, Library, Audiovisual Room, classrooms, labs, sports areas, patios, and gardens, with spaces scheduled to align with the program. Extracurriculars include Workshops and Academies, plus leadership and entrepreneurship programs such as Líderes del mañana and Emprendimiento Empresarial.
