The American School of Puerto Montt sits on a 1-hectare site with two building volumes, one two levels high and one three levels high, arranged around a central space. The 2007 expansion added classrooms, laboratories, workshops, and an administrative area. The facilities are built to North American high‑performance school standards, emphasizing thermal, acoustic, and visual comfort, good indoor air quality, and energy efficiency. Large windows and a central courtyard maximize natural light, complemented by energy‑efficient lighting and ventilation.
The campus includes a gymnasium used for basketball and rhythmic gymnastics, with activities also taking place in other gymnasia and multipurpose spaces. Outdoor canchas/courts are used for football and other field activities, as described in the activity programs. Some rhythmic gymnastics and dance take place in the gym or the preschool hall, depending on the activity.
