Dunalastair Chicureo today

HISTORY

Dunalastair was founded in 1937 as a boarding school for girls, thus becoming an option for expats or people looking for a British type education. In March 2004 Dunalastair Chicureo opened its doors. It is a 22 acre campus with first-class playing fields and is the official home of Dunalastair Sports Club (a venue shared by all three sites).

FACILITIES

Our Chicureo site is characterised by its big green areas and gardens. It also has classrooms equipped with interactive screens, a gym, science labs, computer rooms and a Fab Lab where robotics and programming workshops are held.Facilities also include art and music rooms, a library, an auditorium and extensive playing fields.

REIMAGINE LEARNING

Dunalastair has three physically separated sections in different buildings. Infant School (that is Playgroup, Prekinder and Kindergarten), is housed in the ECC, Junior School, (1st to 6th grade) and Senior School, from 7th grade to IVth Media.

But beyond the administrative sections, at Dunalastair we stand out for our innovative educational project, Reimagine Learning, with which we prepare our students to face an unknown future. Our students go through different stages:

D-Inquiry: inquire and explore, from Playgroup to 4th grade.
D-Project: experiment and connect, from 5th grade to Ith Media.
D-Thinking: argue and solve, from IIth to IVth Media.

COMUNICATIONS

At Dunalastair we believe that a shared educational effort between our families and the school is fundamental for success, which is why fluid communication and information are important. For this reason we have a powerful intranet and a smartphone app that allow us to keep families informed, and parents to have access to information regarding the progress of their children.
