Redland School was founded in 1965 and began operation in 1966. In 1969, the Sociedad Comandita was established as the sustaining entity for the school, and the school moved to its own premises. The founders, Richard Collingwood-Selby and Maria Julia Ojeda Cabrera, led the school for nearly 40 years and today sit on the board together with their children.
Redland School is an IB World School in Chile offering the Primary Years Programme, Middle Years Programme and Diploma Programme. It operates within a British network and is a member of the Association of British Schools in Chile (ABSCH). The campus spans Camino Las Flores and Camino El Alba, with the Junior School relocating to El Alba, ensuring continuity for learners. The Junior School follows the Integral Curriculum in a humanistic, learner-centered environment, where English supports science and language learning, groups vary in size, and students take responsibility for their choices. Senior School combines Chilean ministerial requirements with the IB; from Year 1 to Year 2 students plan the MYP and begin Diploma planning, with DP exams or certificates and PSU preparation afterward. Facilities include new libraries, dining hall and auditorium. The school also follows the Chilean national plan and serves up to 840 students, with class sizes around 29.
