Founded in 1934, Nido de Aguilas is a private, co-educational, non-sectarian, non-profit day school rooted in the best traditions of Chilean and North American education. Today, Nido has over 1500 students from 45 countries and offers a comprehensive liberal arts college preparatory educational program from Early Years (age three) through Grade 12. Nido serves the international business and diplomatic community of Santiago, as well as local students seeking an English-language, U.S.-style education.

Nido has offered the IB Diploma since 1982, and today, over 50% of our Grade 11 and 12 students enroll in the full IB Diploma Programme. Their IB Diploma scores are above the worldwide average, and our IB Coordinator ensures that students are provided the opportunities to succeed across all aspects of their IB courses. IB Diploma candidates are examined internally at Nido and externally by the IB Organization to award IB Diploma results.

Toward the end of the first semester of Grade 10, the course registration process for the following school year starts. During this process, students and parents are informed on the IB programme and evaluated to determine if it fits their academic pathway. Admission to the program is based on a student's academic record, including having a record of academic honesty. Students transferring from IB programmes with good standing may continue in the IB programme at Nido. In the case of English language learners, they must meet English language proficiency requirements to participate in the full IB Diploma.

IB courses are also open to non-Diploma students. All Nido HS students are exposed to the IB curriculum during their academic career, as many upper-level courses are taught at the IB level. It is possible to earn the IB Diploma simultaneously with the Nido/US diploma and the Chilean National Plan Diploma.

Nido's high school faculty includes 34 IB teachers recruited from the best schools in the world. They have an average IB teaching experience of over nine years, and all attend official workshops in their subject group. In addition, Nido has a robust mentoring program for teachers new to the IB.
