Craighouse School is a private, co-educational bilingual school in Lo Barnechea, in the north-east of Santiago, founded on 16 March 1959 by Charles T. Darling and his wife Joan Gibson-Craig-Carmichael, whose family name inspired the school's name, badge and Latin motto. It combines Chilean and British traditions, with a house system, formal uniform, assemblies and a long attachment to hockey and rugby, and it has been recognised by the Chilean Ministry of Education since 1961. Classes run from Playgroup to Year 12, organised in Primary, Middle and Senior sections, and teaching is in English and Spanish, with native English-speaking teachers among the staff and pupils of around 32 nationalities. Craighouse has been part of the International Baccalaureate for more than 30 years and is authorised for the Primary Years, Middle Years and Diploma programmes, which it delivers together with the Chilean national curriculum. It is a founding member of the Association of British Schools in Chile and of the Latin American Heads Conference, and a member of Round Square. The school stresses family involvement, respect for cultural and religious diversity, inclusion through an integration programme, and environmental leadership on a 24-hectare campus at the foot of the Andes. A non-profit foundation created in 1989 supports its educational project.
