The Diploma Programme is a two-year pre-university course for students aged 16 to 19. Students select subjects from six groups with standard and higher level options and complete core components including Theory of Knowledge, the Extended Essay, and Creativity, Activity and Service (CAS). The Diploma Programme develops critical thinking, independent research, and intercultural understanding, and is recognized by universities in Chile and around the world. The program uses a hexagonal arrangement that links six subject areas with the core elements to support integrated learning.
The official music curriculum provides two hours of music per week from Pre-Kinder to 8th Básico, enabling students to develop interpretive and expressive skills through instruments, singing, and reflection on music as an art form. Since 2014, IB has been implemented across all grade levels, with music integrated into interdisciplinary projects up to 5th Básico and, from 5th Básico, through the MYP and into the Diploma Programme with four to six hours per week. Students may join music clubs after school, where they rehearse repertoire, improvise, and perform; Senior School instrumental work is available and events are organized with the British Schools Association in Chile.
French is a widely spoken language, and learning it opens perspectives on cultures across Europe, Africa, and other regions. The French department emphasizes that language learning is about understanding the cultures associated with it and seeks to develop plurilingualism as a pillar for developing skills and an international mindset. DELF external assessments are offered at A2, B1, and B2 levels, and language study is linked with IB Language B options for the Diploma Programme. The school adopts a tri-lingual approach to language learning to foster global citizenship.
Houses are a central part of student life, with a system rooted in historic English schooling that promotes growth across practical, intellectual, and sporting activities. The Houses (Saxons, Normans, Vikings, and Romans) compete for points throughout the year, fostering belonging and healthy competition, and each House has captains and a designated leader. The arrangement supports leadership, teamwork, empathy, and camaraderie, helping students learn to organize and participate in diverse activities.
Creativity, Activity and Service (CAS) is a central component of the Diploma Programme. CAS comprises Creativity (arts and creative thinking), Activity (physical exertion for a healthy lifestyle), and Service (volunteer work with learning). CAS emphasizes contributing to the IB's aim of a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding, with students engaging in multiple activities alongside academic study.
The Houses system includes captains who can be students or teachers, and the Houses are overseen by a designated coordinator. This structure provides leadership opportunities and fosters responsibility, teamwork, and mentoring across age groups. Students develop leadership, organization, and collaborative skills by participating in House activities and taking on captaincy roles.
Redland places special emphasis on sports because physical development is a necessary and important part of education. Sports cultivate values and character, and are particularly effective for teaching teamwork, trust, and commitment to the group. Engaging in sport helps many students, including those who may not excel academically, develop their personalities and build strong interpersonal relationships.
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.
