The International Preparatory School, for students from ages 2 to 18, is a recognized Centre for Cambridge International Examinations since 1987. The school offers a range of 11 different subjects in English as a first language for IGCSE, AS and A Levels (4), and offers students the possibility to sit for language exams for their native languages (Dutch, Korean, Japanese, French, among others).
IGCSE Syllabus is a perfect fit for our International Community. The subject content areas are easy to tailor to meet the multifaceted needs of our student body. Further, as exams are in English and most assessments take place at the end of the course, our students, whose first language is not English, are perfecting their proficiency in English plus learning subject – specific knowledge over the course of the programme.
With 46 years of experience in education, The International Preparatory School is a British-based International school that offers families the opportunity to place their children in a local English-speaking school while ensuring a multicultural education within the Cambridge Pathway framework. The Cambridge Pathway gives our students a unique opportunity to join a worldwide community of over 10,000 learners across 160 countries as well as to hold qualifications that are recognized in Asia, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, North America, Oceania and Sub-Saharan Africa.
With its nurturing homey atmosphere and dedicated staff, The International Preparatory School focuses on helping each child develop his or her academic potential along with a strong sense of identity, well-being and self-confidence. At TIPS we understand the individual needs and interests of the 21st century learner and strive to deliver excellence in education.
Our campus is nestled in the foothills of the Andes in one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Santiago. We invite you to schedule a visit. We will describe our challenging, multicultural educational programming, show you around, and answer your questions.
