Dunalastair began in 1937 as a girls' boarding school with British roots. The name derives from a place sacred to Clan Donnachaidh, reflecting its Scottish heritage. Today the school operates three sites in Santiago: Las Condes, Chicureo and Peñalolén. It became co-educational in 1981; Dunalastair Las Condes opened in 1989, Dunalastair Chicureo in 2004 and Dunalastair Peñalolén in 2010. The present includes an educational project called Reimagine Learning, trilingualism in Spanish, English and digital language, spaces designed for real-world collaboration, IB World School status, and membership in the Cognita network.
