Admission at Saint Peter's School Viña del Mar is organized by level: Infant School (Playgroup, Pre‑kindergarten, Kindergarten); Junior and Middle School (1st grade to 11th grade); Senior School (11th and 12th grade). To begin, applicants enter the online postulation system with their email; an access code is issued to complete the form, after which the required documents are uploaded and the terms of the application are accepted. The school will contact families to coordinate an in‑person evaluation of the student, and, following successful evaluation, the parents are invited for an interview. Participation in this process does not guarantee a place. Infant School requirements: Playgroup 3 years old by March 31, 2027; Pre‑kinder 4 years old by March 31, 2027; Kindergarten 5 years old by March 31, 2027. The admission exam comprises two stages: (1) a written exam covering content required as entry behaviors for the levels; (2) a group activity that measures socioemotional development; there is also a parent interview. Results are emailed to parents within ten business days from the date of the interview. Enrollment occurs after acceptance, with a five‑day window to finalize; seats are subject to vacancies. Junior and Middle School (1st grade to 11th grade) requirements: online application to complete the form and attach documents: birth certificate; Annual Certificate of Studies and Personality Report 2024, 2025 and 2026; current year's report; 1 passport photo. Requirements include an average grade of 6.0 in science/humanities subjects and a 75% admission exam score. The admission exam covers Language and Communication, Mathematics, and English. Parent interviews are conducted by the Academic Director or Deputy Head for students who have passed the admission exams. Results are emailed within ten business days. Enrollment requires an acceptance letter and a five‑day window to finalize; seats are subject to vacancies. Senior School (3rd and 4th Year of High School) follows the same process and is subject to vacancies; participation in the process does not guarantee admission. To initiate the Senior School application, online postulation is required with the same documents and criteria as above. Foreign applicants: foreign students must have their studies recognized by the Chilean Ministry of Education; documentation must be apostilled; for students with Chilean parents who studied abroad, recognition of studies applies; for other students, convalidation of studies is required. Admissions Office: for more information about the process, contact Claudia Mutis, Admissions Officer, who will guide applicants during the postulation process.
Saint Peter's School is a bilingual, co-educational Catholic school with a distinctly British heritage in Viña del Mar, Chile. Founded in 1918 by Anglican Reverend Charles McDonald Hobley, it has grown into a long-standing institution with more than 108 years of uninterrupted existence and a tradition that blends English-speaking schooling with Chilean context. The youngest students are taught entirely in English, with English instruction reinforced from 7th grade onward, and the school offers a bilingual Spanish-English education through Grade 12. The school is a member of the Association of British Schools in Chile (ABSCH), and its motto LABOR OMNIA VINCIT - Work conquers all - guides its approach to values such as empathy, effort, self-discipline, respect, solidarity, and responsibility. A broad range of extracurriculars supports development beyond the core curriculum, with emphasis on Sport, Arts, and Languages, alongside clubs in science and creative pursuits. Its holistic approach integrates academics with character, community, and service.
