The International School Nido de Aguilas is a private, non-profit, co-educational day school in Lo Barnechea, in the eastern foothills of Santiago, Chile. Founded in 1934, it occupies a 130-acre park-like campus at the foot of the Andes, about 20 minutes from central Santiago. Nido serves roughly 1,400 students from Pre-Kinder through Grade 12, organised into an Early Years School, an Elementary School, a Middle School and a High School, each with its own buildings, principal, teachers and counsellors. The school provides a US-style, English-language education to international, diplomatic and Chilean families. All graduates earn the Nido/US diploma, and students can add the International Baccalaureate Diploma, offered since 1982, and the Chilean national diploma, which around half of the students pursue. Nido is accredited by NEASC and the Chilean Ministry of Education, is supported by the US State Department's Office of Overseas Schools and belongs to AMISA and NAIS. Its learning model blends academic standards with thinking skills and dispositions, and it places strong emphasis on outdoor education, the arts and a large athletics programme. Student support includes counselling, English as an Additional Language and learning support, and a needs-based financial aid programme is available.
