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. 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.
