Nido students, parents, the NPA, and staff are sponsoring 38 students from the Recaredo Vigueras Araneda School in Santa Juana and the República de Panamá School in Tomé, which were affected by the fires over the summer.

After a whirlwind of a Week Without Walls program last week, the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive from students, teachers, and the parent community about the impactful, engaging, and fun learning opportunities the students experienced last week.

Nido parents and extended community members can now register to join one of our five exciting health and wellness activities!

During November, 5th graders learned about ancient civilizations in their Social Study classes, one of which was the Mayan Civilization. Through Nido’s Elementary School Counselor, Ms. Ana Maria, students got in touch with a Mayan community in Cobá, located in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo. Our students needed to understand that the people, traditions, and languages they are learning about are still alive today!

On Saturday, November 12 Nido's Trail Running Team participated in the 10km “Burn Out Carbón” circuit, part of the “La Triple Corona” event in Vitacura. The “Burn Out Carbón” is an extremely challenging trail boasting 867 meters of elevation and an average inclination of 17%, reaching up to 45% at its steepest stretch. High School senior and team captain, Ian MacCormick did a write-up of his race experience. Read the blog post here. 

Take a look at the Nido community members we featured in November.

Nido was recently featured on the website of Inspire Citizens. This organization collaborates with administrators, educators, and students to reimagine education and schools through compassion, understanding, action, and connection for transformative, engaged global citizenship. The article is titled “Foundational Work: Redesigning a School’s Global Citizenship Journey” and talks about how educators at Nido have been doing some deep spadework in redefining their purpose and vision for the future.

We had the privilege to receive the visit of our Alumni Marion Hirsch from the class of 1974 and her partner Stanley Somers, who is none other than the creator of the Little Mermaid and other emblematic Disney characters.

On October 28 and 29, our Teaching and Learning Team hosted The Inquiry Design Lab, a two-day workshop that brought together Nido teachers with teachers from across the city to deepen their understanding of inquiry learning as a methodology.
