Colegio Mayor Tobalaba

What Colegio Mayor Tobalaba does

Colegio Mayor Peñalolén (sometimes referenced through its broader network name Colegio Mayor Tobalaba) is a private K-12 educational institution headquartered at Valle del Aconcagua 8031 in the Peñalolén commune of Santiago, Chile. The school serves families across three core cycles — Educación Parvularia (Playgroup to Kinder), Educación Básica (1° to 8° Básico), and Educación Media (I° to IV° Medio) — representing roughly ages 2 to 18 and up to 16 years of tenure per enrolled family. Its stated positioning is "Excelencia Académica con Cultura Deportiva" (Academic Excellence with Sports Culture), delivered through a "Aula Invertida" (Flipped Classroom) methodology in place for over a decade, complemented by Cambridge English certification (B2 level), competitive sports selections across at least 11 disciplines, robotics and programming, and arts programs (school choirs, violin). Operational infrastructure includes the campus in Peñalolén plus the Estadio Mayor sports complex (athletic field, track, swimming pool, gymnasiums) used for competitive teams.

The school's underlying technology stack centers on the Aula Invertida pedagogy, the Schoolnet academic-reporting portal (Colegium platform) for grade and certificate access, and the MIMAYOR community portal. On July 13, 2026 the school constituted a Comit\u00e9 de Inteligencia Artificial to govern AI integration across curriculum and operations, and in late July 2026 it completed three AI-focused diplomados for educators in partnership with Fundaci\u00f3n Cruzando covering generative AI agents, creative AI, and pedagogical AI applications. Revenue is generated through tuition and ancillary programs (notably the After School extended-care service), billed annually on a subscription model direct-to-families, with no public pricing. Customer acquisition runs through the official website (colegiomayor.cl), Instagram (@mayorpenalolen), YouTube, email ([email protected]), phone, and WhatsApp, with formal admissions forms, criteria, and timelines published for the 2027 academic year. The institution is led by Rectora Macarena Salas and operates independently with no disclosed parent company, investors, or M&A activity.
