Each new school year at Nido provides opportunities for excitement, challenge, and achievement. Our goal is to provide a rich, diverse, and academically challenging learning environment for the over 1200 students attending Nido this year. Nido students represent more than 40 countries from around the world. The variety of cultures, languages and experiences these students bring to the school enrich classroom discussion, foster attitudes of respect and appreciation for diversity, and illustrate the growing interdependency of nations.

Nido is proud of its history, which now encompasses seventy years of growth and progress. From its humble beginnings, it is now recognized by many as not only the best school in Chile, but also one of the best international schools in all of South America. In addition to the quality and character of our students, Nido enjoys a positive and supportive parent community and a highly qualified and dedicated faculty. The result of these factors are reflected in the success of Nido graduates who are consistently offered admission to some of the most competitive universities in the United States, Canada, Europe, Chile and other countries around the world. In addition to the standard college preparatory Nido diploma, students may also earn the full International Baccalaureate Diploma and the Chilean National Diploma. Some students choose to pursue all three!

If you are currently in Chile and seeking a school for your children, contemplating a possible move to Santiago in the future, or if you are already a member of the "NIDO FAMILY", I welcome you to contact us for additional information about our academic and extra-curricular programs.

Sincerely,

Dr. Don Bergman
Headmaster
