Nido de Aguilas (Eagle's Nest) was founded in 1934 as a private, co-educational, non-sectarian day school. Today, Nido serves over 1,300 students from more than forty countries and offers a comprehensive college preparatory educational program from Early Childhood (age three) through grade 12. Nido serves the international business and diplomatic community of Santiago, as well as, local students seeking an English language, US style education. Current enrollment is composed of 50% U.S. and international students and 50% host country students.

All classes are taught in English except Spanish language classes and for those taking the Chilean National Program, four years of Chilean Social Studies and two years of Philosophy in Spanish. Nido offers special classes to support non-native English speakers. However, entrance to upper elementary, middle and high school grades require prerequisite levels of English proficiency. Given the academic nature of the school's program, special services are available to support students with only MILD learning disabilities. Nido does not offer programs for students who have more serious learning disabilities or who have special physical or emotional needs.
