Welcome Message

Dear SAAC Artists and Teachers,

Welcome to Nido de Aguilas, home of the Eagles since 1934!  We are beyond excited to host SAAC Visual and Performing Arts, bringing together over 230 student-artists and teachers from our seven schools for three days of learning, creating and performing.  Months in the planning, we thank our incredible Activities and Athletic directors, Arts Coordinators and teachers  for putting together outstanding days filled with art, music and performance.  We thank our host families for opening your homes and hearts to our SAAC artists from across South America. We thank our faculty, staff and students for all you have done and will do to make these days memorable for all. We thank our artists and teachers who have prepared with purpose, will create and perform with passion and who will personify our shared values of kindness, respect and belonging. ¡Muchas gracias a todos!

By Saturday evening I guarantee we will all have had incredible experiences, whether you're an artist or an observer like me.  SAAC Visual and Performing Arts brings together student-artists from seven outstanding international schools representing six countries with a combined population of over 330 million people. Together, our more than eight thousand students come from every continent except for Antarctica, though we probably even have alumni working at McMurdo Station. While at SAAC Visual and Performing Arts 2025 you’ll create memories and relationships that will last far beyond the final closing curtain. We come together as visual and performing artists sharing a passion for creating. We leave as friends with connections across the globe to help us meet the future with courage, compassion and hope for a better tomorrow.

All the best,

Ken Kunin

Head of School
