Redland School was founded in 1965 and began operating in 1966 with a Kinder and First Year Basic class. During its first three years it ran in a rented house, and in 1969, with the sponsor Sociedad Comandita, it moved to its own facilities. Redland School was founded by Richard Collingwood-Selby and María Julia Ojeda Cabrera. After seven years and several trips to Great Britain, they decided to establish a school that would later bear the Redland name, and for almost 40 years they led it, today serving on the board with their children. The name 'Redland' means Free Land, a reference to Tierra Libre, and the Redland district in Bristol, England; the crest depicts a plow opening soil to sow, and the motto Strength Through Love and Truth expresses the school's philosophy.
