What Chartwell International School does

Chartwell International School is a private international school operating three campuses across Santiago, Chile (Vía Azul in Vitacura for Early Years, Gran Vía in Vitacura for Primary, and La Dehesa in Lo Barnechea for Primary and Secondary). It delivers a continuous English-medium education pathway from Pre-School (ages 2–5) through Cambridge IGCSE and A Levels (up to age 18), with class sizes capped at approximately 15 students and a student body drawn from over 60 nationalities. The school is an authorised Cambridge International School, integrating the Cambridge Primary, Lower Secondary, IGCSE and A Level curriculum frameworks alongside the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) for early childhood and the SEE Learning framework (developed by Emory University) for social, emotional and ethical development.

The curriculum and product portfolio is built around six named academic programmes (Early Years, Cambridge Primary, Cambridge Lower Secondary, Cambridge IGCSE, and Cambridge AS & A Levels) complemented by seven add-on modules including the Afterschool Enrichment Programme (sports, arts, STEAM, language clubs), Wellbeing and Safeguarding, BEO Programme international experiences (London and New York), Reading Interventions, Saturday Booster Classes, University Pathways in partnership with Global Admission Center, and seasonal Winter and Summer camps. A Green and Sustainability Programme is embedded cross-sectionally. The platform stack is based on curriculum-grade assessment tools such as Cambridge Progression Tests and Checkpoint assessments, and on third-party educational technology including IXL for personalised skill practice.

The business model is direct-to-consumer tuition: Chartwell generates recurring subscription-style revenue through fees charged to enrolled families along a tiered Pre-School through A Level pathway. Admissions are handled in-house through a five-step process (initial enquiry, on-campus school visit, complimentary trial week, assessment and personalised feedback, and enrolment), with year-round intake, no publicly disclosed pricing, and no third-party resellers or franchise operators. Go-to-market is supported by the school's website and active social media presence on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn, plus on-campus events, downloadable brochures, a publicly accessible school calendar, and parent word-of-mouth. The school is in the process of completing the COBIS (Council of British International Schools) compliance programme, positioning for broader international accreditation.

Core offering

Chartwell International School is a private international school delivering a continuous Cambridge-based education from Pre-School (Early Years) through Secondary (A Levels) entirely in English, across three campuses in Santiago, Chile. Its core offering is tuition-based academic instruction in small classes of up to 15 students, complemented by enrichment, wellbeing, university preparation, and international experience programmes.

Product overview

Chartwell International School offers a unified, continuous international education spanning Early Years through to A Levels, delivered through a modular portfolio of programmes built around the Cambridge International curriculum framework. The core academic pathway consists of six named programmes: the EYFS-based Early Years Programme (Preschool), Cambridge Primary, Cambridge Lower Secondary (Key Stage 3), Cambridge IGCSE, and Cambridge AS & A Levels — each representing a distinct educational stage. Supplementing the academic curriculum are seven add-on modules: the Afterschool Enrichment Programme (sport, arts, STEAM), Wellbeing & Safeguarding Programme (including the SEE Learning framework), BEO International Experiences (London and New York), Reading Interventions Programme, Saturday Booster Classes, University Pathways supported by Global Admission Center, and Seasonal Camps (Winter and Summer). The Green & Sustainability Programme and SEE Learning framework are woven cross-sectionally across all levels. Together these form a holistic educational offering where the Cambridge academic progression serves as the structural backbone and enrichment modules add wellbeing, university preparation, and extracurricular depth.
