[2] Nido de Aguilas is one of the few schools in Chile that follows a northern hemisphere calendar, with classes running from July to June.

Nido de Aguilas was founded in 1934 as a private, co-educational, non-sectarian, non-profit day school rooted in traditions of Chilean and North American education.

The school was founded by Dr. Waldo Stevenson and Juanita Keller with the aim of providing a high-level education in English coupled with environmental awareness.

In 1964, after a donation of land and financial contribution from the United States Government, it opened its current location in Lo Barnechea.

Nido de Aguilas serves just over 1550 students from more than 50 countries and offers a liberal arts, college preparatory educational program from PreKinder (age three) through Grade 12.

Approximately 40 clubs are offered in High School, as well as baseball, basketball, cross country, two dance teams, field hockey, rugby, soccer, swimming, track & field, volleyball, and water polo teams which compete each year in the South American Athletics Conference (SAAC) tournaments and various local competitions.

Nido de Aguilas is located on a 150-acre site in Lo Barnechea, approximately 20 minutes from downtown Santiago.
