1. Call for applications is published on scollege.cl – Admissions. The process includes a dedicated admission path for Pre-Kindergarten with a total of 144 vacancies, and a general admissions framework for other levels. Calls for applications and the related timelines are published publicly, and attendance at applicant visits is scheduled after application submission. Results are released by a defined date and enrollment is confirmed through subsequent steps.

2. Application periods and scheduling are divided into two stages: the first exclusively for current families and children of alumni, and the second for new families. Current families can apply during December 2–10, 2025, while new families apply January 5–March 10, 2026. Applicant and parent visits to the school are scheduled in March, with formal visits on set Saturdays. Results are published by April 21, and enrollment confirmation follows the acceptance.

3. Application requirements include meeting age criteria, submitting the online application form, and uploading a birth certificate. Foreign applicants provide a copy of the National ID Card or Passport. An application fee of UF 2 is payable online or in person and is non-refundable once validated. A DocuSign “Declaración” must be signed to validate the application, and the school reserves at least one place per educational level for students with disabilities as of 2026; currently, no spaces are available.

4. The admission process can be conducted in-person for applicants residing in Chile or remotely for those living abroad. Both modalities are valid for completing the process.

5. Academic evaluations are conducted in Language and Communication, English, and Mathematics. Beginning in 10th grade, an evaluation in one of Biology, Physics, or Chemistry is also required. A minimum of 80% is expected in each area to continue in the admissions process, and the school may review individual cases if curricula differ.

6. Applicants undergo an interview with a psychologist from the Student Support Team, and new families participate in a parent interview. The outcomes of the parent interview and the family's participation contribute to the final admissions decision, together with the academic evaluations.

7. Results notification is communicated to families by email on the established date and is also posted on the Admissions notice board. If not admitted, families may request a written report within 15 days; the report is issued within 15 working days. The report does not apply to applicants on the waiting list.

8. Enrollment confirmation is sent together with the acceptance letter or a separate financial letter by email to admitted families, establishing the enrollment deadline.

9. Waiting List: If available spots are fewer than the number of applicants, the formal application process and priority criteria determine placement. Being on the Waiting List does not constitute an enrollment commitment; families must secure a place for their child elsewhere if needed.

10. Vacancies and schedule context: The Pre-Kindergarten level has 144 vacancies, with application periods and visits scheduled to accommodate both current/alumni families and new families. Applications for current families and alumni run December 2–10, 2025, while new families apply January 5–March 10, 2026. Visits to the school are scheduled for March, with results by late April.

Waiting List: If available spots are fewer than the number of applicants, the formal application process and priority criteria described earlier will be used to determine placement. Being placed on the Waiting List does not constitute an enrollment commitment by the School. It simply keeps open the possibility of admission should vacancies become available during the regular process. It is the sole responsibility of parents/guardians of applicants on the Waiting List to secure a place for their child at another educational institution for the following school year.
