Rector’s Welcome

OUR SCHOOL

Rector's welcome

A warm welcome from our Rector, John Mackenzie

Our three sites (Las Condes, Chicureo and Peñalolén) strive for excellence in teaching and learning and offer a balanced curriculum, with a strong emphasis on the use of technology to achieve our goals and facilitate home-school communications, providing up-to-date information to parents.

A few years ago we set out to “re-imagine learning” to take charge of how little we know about the world our students will go out into. Our curriculum and pedagogies today focus on generating the skills needed to face this uncertain future, the so-called 21st century skills.

We believe deeply in education as a team effort, in which only a close relationship between school and family can provide the support children will need as they grow up. Therefore, we invite you to browse our website and visit our locations to learn more about every aspect of Dunalastair and make an informed decision for such an important choice as your children’s education.

Please do not hesitate to contact us should you require any further information.

My best wishes,

John Mackenzie

Rector

I hope that the information we provide on these pages will be of use to you in trying to understand who we are as a school, as we are aware that getting to know each other is a process that is lived and cannot be adequately conveyed through a website.

Purpose

It seems to me that our educational project is much more practical than traditional education. Sitting in front of a blackboard and watching is an obsolete system, something that has been known not to work for years. It is better to prepare students for university, here they prepare us for the future, for teamwork and collaboration. I have thought about my future and I think I want to study Commercial Engineering in Chile or Business at Auckland University.
