Founded in 1934, The International School Nido de Águilas is a private, co-educational, non-sectarian and non-profit day school. Nido blends the rigorous standards of North American education with the rich traditions of Chilean culture, offering a unique educational experience.

Serving a diverse community of over 1,440 students from 48 nations, Nido is a comprehensive liberal arts college-preparatory school educating students from Early Years (age three) through Grade 12. We proudly support the international business and diplomatic communities in Santiago, while also providing local students access to a world-class, English-language, U.S.-style education.

The IB Diploma Programme (IB DP) at Nido

Our school has been a proud provider of the IB Diploma Programme since 1982, establishing a deep and successful history with the curriculum. Our commitment is reflected in our student enrollment: over 60% of Grade 11 and 12 students commit to the full, rigorous IB Diploma Programme.

IB DP Success and Support

• Exceptional Results: Students consistently achieve IB Diploma scores that exceed the worldwide average, a testament to their hard work and the quality of our program.
• Dedicated Team: The IB Coordination Team provides robust, individualized support, ensuring every student maximizes their potential across all aspects of their IB courses.
• Pathway Flexibility: Students can seamlessly earn the IB Diploma concurrently with both the Nido/US Diploma and the Chilean National Plan Diploma, offering unparalleled post-secondary flexibility.

The path to the IB DP begins in Grade 10 with a comprehensive, transparent course registration and counseling process. While admission is merit-based, considering a student's school record, teacher recommendations also contribute greatly to maintaining an inclusive outlook to help ensure all students are enrolled in an appropriately challenging academic pathway.

• Students transferring from other IB programs are welcome and seamlessly integrated, provided they are in good standing and enrolled in courses offered at both schools.
• The full IB Diploma Programme requires demonstrated English language proficiency to ensure students can fully engage with the demands of Language A courses.
• IB Access for All: IB-level courses are not exclusive to Diploma candidates. All Nido High School students benefit from exposure to the IB curriculum, as numerous upper-level courses are taught at the demanding IB standard.

Expert Faculty

Our High School faculty is composed of 34 highly experienced IB teachers recruited from the finest international schools globally.

• Deep Experience: Nido's educators boast an average of over nine years of IB teaching experience.
• IB Leadership: All faculty attend official, rigorous IB workshops in their subject areas, and several of our teachers also serve as official IB Examiners, bringing invaluable internal knowledge of assessment standards directly into the classroom.
• Sustained Quality: Nido ensures the continuity of excellence through a robust mentoring program that supports and develops teachers new to the IB philosophy and curriculum.
