Since 1981 Dunalastair has been a co-educational institution firmly committed to the advantages of the joint education of boys and girls.
During the summer of 2007 the School was totally remodelled. A new wing was built for students from years 1 to 6, with an underground gymnasium/theatre, which resulted in a larger patio in which the students play during their breaks.
The Senior School (years 7 through 12) was also remodelled and most of its classrooms have interactive whiteboards. Teachers in all areas have now been provided with laptops to enable their teaching to make the most of what ICT can offer the learning process. As a necessary complement to this the school has a solid intranet aimed at improving the level of communication and information amongst members of the School community, and at improving the tracking of student progress and general school management.
 At present, our school in Las Condes is recognized as an IB World School, offering the Diploma Program during the last two years of education.
The school is divided into 3 sections allowing a more personalized attention to our students:
 |
Infant School, from Playgroup (3 years of age) to 2nd básico |
 |
Junior School, from 3rd to 6th básico |
 |
Senior School, from 7th básico to IVº Medio |
Dunalastair Chicureo

Dunalastair Chicureo started in March 2004 with a small number of Playgroup and Pre-Kinder students (8 children at the beginning and 13 at the end of the year). This year we have nearly 700 students from Playgroup to 7th básico.
The School Curriculum is based on the first years of the IB suite of programmes, the Primary Years Programme. Having already had the required training to become a candidate school, and experience teaching the programme, we hope to obtain full recognition soon.
Dunalastair Chicureo offers the parents of Colina Valley a bilingual education, combining the best elements of a classical liberal education and the latest technological advances to improve learning.
Our Chicureo site reflects the fact that it is a growing school. Currently we have all the classrooms that will finally be the Infant and Junior School area, as well as the changing rooms for our fields. We hope to begin work on our synthetic hockey pitch toward the end of the year. This site is also providing all staff with their own notebook computers, and all classrooms have wi-fi connections to internet and interactive whiteboards that can be shared for the upper levels.
