Lincoln International Academy was founded in March 1977 by Robert G. Seaquist and Verónica Caroca Cerón, with the first campus on Luis Thayer Ojeda Street in Providencia and 137 students. Verónica Caroca became headmistress in 1991, and her son John F. Seaquist has served as headmaster since 2001. A multidisciplinary Comprehensive Support Department (DAI) was created in 2003, and the Chicureo campus opened in 2006, giving the school two campuses in Lo Barnechea and Chicureo.
