Through carefully planned challenges, students are encouraged to grow with curiosity and confidence, strengthening academic progress while nurturing a lasting love of learning.
Through assemblies, daily experiences and the wider curriculum, our students develop the life skills they need to thrive. This approach strengthens communication, teamwork and problem-solving, helping them grow with confidence and preparing them for success in every area of life.
At Colegio Pedro de Valdivia Providencia, language immersion is one of the foundations of our educational approach, enriched by programmes such as the English Speaking Union.
From the very beginning, students thrive in a bilingual environment, building confidence in both English and Spanish while also having the opportunity to discover other languages, including Chinese. This continuous exposure helps them feel at ease in a global community, developing the skills, understanding, and confidence to connect across cultures and contexts.
Each year, students take part in enriching multicultural and multilingual experiences through our International Learning Opportunities for Students (ILOS). From representing a country as a delegate to the United Nations to connecting with peers from around the world, these programmes offer meaningful global experiences that broaden horizons and deepen understanding.
Each ILOS programme is carefully designed to inspire students to explore their interests and develop the confidence, perspective and skills needed to thrive in today’s interconnected world.
Here you will find the materials lists, reading plan titles and study texts for Primary School.
Please begin sending in the required texts according to the guidance shared in the welcome emails from each Head Teacher and in line with the schedule for each school stage. We kindly ask families to take special care when preparing these resources and to ensure that every item is clearly labelled with the student’s name and year group.
English Speaking Union Chile is an international non-profit organisation dedicated to promoting the use of English and strengthening students’ language skills.
Our school actively takes part in its public speaking competitions, debates and academic activities, where students develop confidence in spoken English, strengthen their ability to argue effectively and grow as confident public speakers.
Through these experiences, we enrich their all-round education, nurture critical thinking and help prepare them to meet the academic and professional challenges of an increasingly globalised world.
Primary School is a stage where learning is experienced with joy, curiosity and purpose.
