The Grange School, Santiago

The Grange School is a private school in La Reina, Santiago, Chile with an enrollment of about 1,800 students and over 300 staff. It is known for a very strong sports program in addition to high academic standards. It was founded June 4, 1928, by John A. S. Jackson, an Anglo-Chilean born in Valparaíso and educated at Cambridge University. Part of his founding philosophy was to apply the concepts of "fair play", "spirit of service" and the notion of an "all-rounder" person. Its logo has a gryphon as the centerpiece and surrounded by the Latin phrase 'Nunquam Non Paratus', translated as "never unprepared" or "always ready".

In 2006, the British newspaper The Guardian listed it as one of the best UK-curriculum international schools in the world.[1]
