Trewhela's School

Trewhela's is affiliated with the Cambridge curriculum, which it has followed for three years alongside the Chilean national programme as a scientific-humanist school. Teaching is bilingual, and the school's stated aim is for students to leave competent in English. Admission runs by year group from Playgroup, for children who turn three by 31 March, through Pre Kinder and Kinder and on to Primero Basico and the secondary years, with places subject to availability in each campus.

The school runs from early years to the end of secondary education. Preschool begins with Playgroup for children who turn three by 31 March, followed by Pre Kinder at four and Kinder at five. Primary School continues from Primero Basico, for which children must turn six by 31 March, and the school is then organised into Junior School and Senior School, each with its own assistant principal, through to Cuarto Medio at the age of eighteen.

The school describes itself as a secular, scientific-humanist institution offering families an education of excellence and innovation, built on values, competences and bilingual learning experiences in English. Honesty, solidarity, tenacity and justice are named as the values that guide the educational project, with the aim of forming people of integrity and commitment. Its vision adds lifelong learning, participation in cultural, sporting and social activities, and a contribution to a wiser, fairer society that respects the environment.

A school canteen run by Aramark serves balanced lunches, a service currently available at the Providencia campus only, with its own online registration. Each campus has a library with print and digital collections and a team of librarians, and publishes a monthly bulletin in Spanish and English. Community life is organised through a students' association, the OPETS group, a scout group and the Old Lions alumni association. Administrative rules and fee schedules are published per campus, and families use the Schoolnet platform.
