Ms Joy Calabria – Teacher of N class “I have joined team of Chartwell International School in Chile just recently. Before Chartwell I have dedicated my career to teaching kids in Brussels and Quito following the similar international methodology that Chartwell International School follows. I have studied teaching in US and afterwards moved back to Europe. Yet somehow, my life brought me to South America and to the project of setting up this very nice international school in Santiago where there is a strong focus on diversity, international setting and personal approach of development of each and every child independently. My personal aspiration is to prepare children and educate them to be nice people first of all, and then equip them with necessary fundamental skills to be able to always find their way.”

MrMilanNenin – MusicClassTeacher “I am a composer and a guitarist.

Ms Andrea Rivas – P.E. ClassTeacher and Dance Instructor “Since I was in College I have been working with little kids, as a professional dancer I love the impact that music and movement has on children. It helps them develop not only motor or physical skills but also their emotions. As the years passed and me becoming a mum of two awesome boys, I have further specialized in training kids and toddlers ranging from work with kids with special needs up until young athletes. I am sure that if we teach our children a healthy lifestyle and importance of sports, we will have a much healthier world and more confident individuals”
