In the early 1960s, leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) established a system of K-12 schools in Chile. Beginning with two small elementary schools, this system grew until it enrolled nearly three thousand students in nine schools throughout the country. Over the course of their existence, the schools endured earthquakes, protests, and government upheavals. For a brief time, they even held the distinction of being the only Latter-day Saint schools to operate under a Marxist government. While the schools closed in the early 1980s, their story today offers keen insights into evolving LDS education policy, the spread of Mormonism around the world, and the adaptation of the faith into a new culture.
