Educators are bilingual and certified, with English certifications aligned to the CEFR (B1+, B2, or C1) or their North American equivalents; native English-speaking teachers are included. Since 2020, all bilingual teachers have been trained and certified in the Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP). A Bilingual Academic Leader (BAL) coordinates English learning initiatives, project work, classroom observations, and the evaluation of national and international assessments of the program.
The Greenland School offers a bilingual program from Early Education through 8th grade, with daily immersion in English and many subjects taught in English, along with Cambridge certifications. The program includes a Sheltered English Learning Programme (SELP) to support students new to the bilingual curriculum.
Active international methodologies are used, including the International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC) for early years. Reading and writing development in English starts in preschool with Phonics and Writer's Workshop, and continues in basic and secondary with Reader's Theater and Book Club. An exchange program to the United Kingdom is offered after completing the bilingual program in 8th grade. Since 2023, the school hosts a Bilingual Student Summit for 7th grade students with peers from Cognita and other bilingual Chilean schools, conducted entirely in English.
Located in Estación Central, Santiago, The Greenland School is an institution founded in 1995 that serves preschool through 8th grade. It offers a bespoke bilingual curriculum with English immersion and instruction in English for the bilingual stream. Early years follow the IEYC, while non-bilingual students access the Sheltered English Learning Programme (SELP) to participate in the bilingual program. The school provides Cambridge certifications through tests arranged with English UC at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, covering Starters, Movers, KET, PET, and FCE. From pre-school to 4th grade, own Mathematics and English curricula are developed by teachers with guidance from educators. The Greenland School is part of Cognita Schools, connecting Chilean practice to an international network. Facilities include a three-hectare stadium complex with heated indoor pool, outdoor pool, football and rugby pitch, gym, courts and track. The school emphasizes digital citizenship, critical thinking, creativity, and holistic development through the DLI program.
