Preparation for future success

Pedro de Valdivia Pre-University Future pathways TESLA Pre-University

Pedro de Valdivia Pre-University

The Pedro de Valdivia Pre-University programme is included in tuition at no additional cost and takes place within the school day. This gives students the opportunity to strengthen their knowledge and build a solid foundation for achieving their higher education goals.

 

The programme is designed to equip learners with the skills, strategies and confidence needed for the PAES, supported by expert teachers in an environment that feels familiar, secure and encouraging.

 

By offering this preparation within the school setting, students benefit from continuity in their learning, greater comfort and a more efficient daily routine, without the need for additional travel. This supports concentration, wellbeing and strong academic performance.

Future pathways

Future Pathways at CPV Las Condes is the ISP group’s university and career guidance programme, created to support students as they shape their academic and professional futures. Through individual guidance, workshops, university fairs, specialist talks and tailored resources, students are encouraged to identify their strengths and interests, explore different study and career options, and make informed decisions with confidence.

 

The programme supports each learner in planning a future that reflects their own ambitions, whether that leads to university, technical or vocational education, entrepreneurship, the arts, sport, volunteering or international experiences. It is built on the understanding that there is no single route to success, but many valuable pathways aligned with each student’s individual goals and aspirations.

TESLA Pre-University

The TESLA Pre-University Alliance strengthens PAES preparation through in-person, personalised classes led by specialist teachers at the end of the school day.

 

Benefits of this alliance include:

  • Specialist teachers with expertise in PAES preparation
  • Academic support from Year 9 onwards
  • Safe and familiar learning environment within the school
  • Preferential fee for CPV Las Condes families, 45% below the standard rate
