IB School
Craighouse School has been an IB World School for more than 30 years and during this time we have developed our programmes to the point where we can all be proud of Craighouse as the leading IB school in Chile.
The IB is an international non-profit organisation that was founded in 1968. Today it is known for its educational excellence, connecting nearly 2 million students in more than 5,000 schools across over 150 countries/territories.
The IB programmes are designed to offer significant advantages over other curricula, shaping inquisitive, well-informed, committed, compassionate pupils who are prepared to achieve success in a globalised environment.
Craighouse School is authorised to continuously offer three of its main programmes across all our levels and courses, ensuring a comprehensive and consistent education for our pupils.
The Primary
Years Programme
PYP marks the start of a lifelong journey. It develops caring and culturally aware children, aged 3 to 11, to become active participants in their own learning.
The Middle
Years Programme
MYP is designed for pupils aged 11 to 16. Builds a solid academic foundation and develops students’ confidence in managing their own learning and making connections between their learning in the classroom and the real world.
The Diploma
Programme
DP is the gold standard international programme for students from 16 to 19 years that nurtures their creativity, fosters their desire to learn and prepares them to excel in their careers and adult lives.
IB Learner Profile
The IB learner profile describes a broad range of human capacities and responsibilities that go beyond academic success. Aims to develop learners who are: Inquirers, knowledgeable, thinkers, communicators, principled, open-minded, caring, risk-takers, balanced and reflective.
What opportunities does the IB Programme offer
for our pupils?
For over 30 years, we have had the privilege of witnessing our pupils achieve extraordinary accomplishments as graduates of one of the best IB schools in the world. Throughout their educational journey, they develop and refine key skills that transform them into committed learners and global citizens. We foster critical thinking and autonomy, encouraging our pupils to make informed decisions and take action to create a positive impact in the world. Graduates of Craighouse School are not only prepared to continue their studies at the most prestigious universities in Chile and abroad, but also to create, innovate and actively contribute to society.
In Chile, the IB Diploma is becoming another means of entry to Chilean universities.
Currently, 20 national universities offer this option for some of their programs

CAS

CAS stands for Creativity, Activity and Service. It is a key subject within the IB Diploma Programme.
It is characterised by a constant pursuit of new challenges that enhance pupils' skill development, promoting social causes that inspire them to create a better world.
We hope that every project we undertake leaves a meaningful mark on our CAS pupils, fostering empathy and encouraging them to become true agents of change.
