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. Application and initial information. The admissions cycle for the 2026 school year opens on May 5 and is conducted entirely online by completing the application form on the school's website. For applicants in Grades 1–5, submissions go to the Deputy Principal of Grundschule, Ms. If vacancies are not available, applications are kept on a waiting list for possible enrollment later in the year. After the postulation period, the list of selected applicants is published on the school site and at a visible location on campus; accepted families are notified by email of the next steps. Enrollment (matriculation) for new students must be completed between September 22 and October 17, 2025; if not completed in that window, the place becomes available to others.
2) Waitlist overview. If there are no vacancies, applicants are placed on a waiting list to be considered for enrollment if a vacancy becomes available during the year. The list of admitted applicants is published on the school site and at a visible campus location, and the school informs accepted families by email of the enrollment steps. The order of candidates on the waiting list follows the formal admission process and vacancy availability.
The Instituto Alemán de Osorno is a German international school offering the International Baccalaureate across all levels—PYP, MYP and DP. The IB continuum is aligned with Chile's Bases Curriculares, with German language as a central pillar and a bilingual pathway. Since 2016 the Primary level runs a bilingual classroom with more than half the lessons in German where possible. English is taught from the PAI and continues through the Diploma, with a target of at least B2 by graduation. The Diploma Programme includes a monograph and CAS, providing pathways to universities in Chile and abroad. The school runs an exchange program with Germany (Intercambio) and offers German-language pathways through the bilingual program (BILI). Facilities include a library and Centro Cultural Sofia Hott Schwalm, and Extraprogrammatic activities with transport to Pilauco for sports. The campus is at Los Carrera 818, Osorno.
