A school transport service is provided by external operators under a Colegio Redland transport regulation. The schedule follows the school day; routes cover areas such as Las Condes and Providencia. Monthly fees apply and may be paid in up to ten installments (March–December). The bus arrives at the stop at the designated time and waits up to two minutes; changes to addresses require 30 days' notice; in case of incidents, the transporter coordinates with the school and parents; pupils may be dropped at home.

Junior School uses the Integral Curriculum and the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP). The approach is humanistic, with each child as the protagonist of learning and recognizing individual characteristics, needs, interests and strengths. Learning environments foster relationships in small and larger groups, and autonomy develops as children choose activities, materials and topics, taking responsibility for their actions. English is central to daily routines and is used in science, thinking and language. Senior School covers the last four years of Chilean high school, combining ministerial requirements with the International Baccalaureate; in 1st Year and the first term of 2nd Year students complete the IB Middle Years Programme and begin Diploma planning. Towards the end of the Middle Years Programme, they plan the Diploma Programme (May of 2nd Year to May of 4th Year) with options to sit Diploma exams or obtain subject certificates; after Diploma exams, PSU preparation is emphasized.

External evaluations measure our levels against other schools and track progress year by year. Students receive international certificates. The IB Diploma provides preparation for university studies and direct entry to many universities around the world, including those in Chile. Results also include English certificate outcomes and SIMCE and PSU results.

Graduates may pursue higher education at IB-recognized institutions worldwide, including in Chile. Universities recognizing the IB Diploma in Chile include Universidad de los Andes, Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez, Universidad Andrés Bello, Universidad Alberto Hurtado, Universidad Diego Portales, Universidad Mayor, Universidad del Desarrollo and Universidad Finis Terrae. Graduates may also pursue Chile's university entrance process (PSU) as part of admissions.

1. Determine the level and submit the admission application. For Prekínder 2027, Redland School offers 60 vacancies across two Prekínder classes, with priority given to siblings and children of alumni; there is no automatic admission. Open Days for Prekínder 2027 run at 08:30 for 40 minutes on March 11 and March 18, and registration is required between February 23 and March 17 at 16:00. The Prekínder admissions for 2027 require children to be born between January 1, 2022 and March 31, 2023. The school is an IB World School authorized to offer the Diploma Programme and the Middle Years Programme.

2. Complete the admission application and submit the required documents. For Kinder to 2° Medio, the process begins with submitting the admission application version Kinder a 2° Medio to the secretary of the appropriate section, and sending the listed documents (birth certificate, personality/year report, last grade report, annual studies certificate, etc.) to the correct office. The documents required vary by level, and the payment of the postulation fee must be completed before the diagnostic evaluation. For Prekínder 2027, the postulation fee is 55,000 pesos and is non-refundable; payment for postulation at other levels is completed prior to the citación, either at the Recaudaciones office or via the contact person.

3. Schedule and complete the diagnostic evaluation. After the complete submission of the application and if vacancies exist, candidates are scheduled for a diagnostic evaluation. For Junior School, the evaluation covers Language, Mathematics, and English; for Middle and Senior Schools, candidates are also interviewed by the respective section directors, with the Rector participating in various stages of the process. The final decision considers the diagnostic results, interviews, and requested academic and personality reports.

4. Receive results and, if applicable, waitlist. The results are communicated by email from Rectoría. If the number of approved applicants exceeds vacancies, a waitlist is formed based on the results and the postulants remain on the list until the end of March of the application year. Beginning April 1, families still interested in Redland must initiate a new postulation process.

5. Accept the vacancy and complete enrollment. If a vacancy is offered, acceptance is formalized by paying the enrollment and entrance fees within one week of the offer. Payments and signing of enrollment documents are arranged at the Recaudaciones office (Camino El Alba 11,357) or through the listed contact (e.g., M. Pía Arredondo).

6. Note about enrolment for Senior levels. Generally, Redland does not accept applications for 3rd and 4th Medio because of Diploma Programme (DP) constraints; exceptional cases may be considered when the student's prior preparation indicates a smooth DP-level transition and potential contribution to the class.

Waiting list: If more applicants are approved than vacancies, a waiting list is formed based on the results. Applicants on the waiting list remain until the end of March of the year they applied; if still interested after March, they must start a new postulation process on or after April 1.
