The Best Investment 

As a non-profit school, we spend almost 85 percent of all tuition on hiring and retaining the best teachers in the world. By investing in our staff members, we create a culture that can offer our students the space and support they need to develop their personalities, values, and passions fully.

Financial Aid

Nido aims to support families who share Nido's values and appreciate its pedagogical approach but are unable to cover the full cost of tuition through its Financial Aid Program.

Financial Aid is need-based, and if awarded, the family is offered a discount on tuition and/or the incorporation fee. In awarding financial aid, the School considers various factors, including financial need, academic and behavioral history, grade level, grade capacity, and available funds. The maximum tuition award is 50%; the average award is 25%. Financial aid can also be awarded toward the incorporation fee.

How to apply

To apply, families must submit the application form and supporting documents (which include, but are not limited to, a job contract, payslips, bank statements, investment and debt certificates). The process also includes a personal interview and home visit.

Families must apply annually to determine whether their situation has changed, verify that the student continues to meet the eligibility and review criteria indicated above, and review the student's eligibility. To be eligible to apply, families must be current with their accounts and cannot receive an educational subsidy from their employer.
