The school serves Early Years (age 3) through Grade 12 in an English language immersion environment and has approximately 1,400 students from Chile and more than 50 countries. The school uses an online application via Open Apply; applicants upload the required documents and must read the Institutional Education Project before submitting. The application fee is CLP 190,000. For PK or K1, students participate in an in-person evaluation; for K2–G12, the Admissions Committee reviews the complete application and determines the necessary evaluations. Admissions decisions are communicated by email and posted in the Admissions Office; after notice of admission, families have seven consecutive days to sign the enrollment contract; failure to enroll releases the spot. Documents must be translated into English or Spanish.
Deadlines & Vacancies: Entry deadlines for February 2026 are November 1, 2025; for August 2026, March 15, 2026. Rolling admissions are based on space availability, and all admissions depend on space.

The Nido Scholars Program provides full scholarships funded by donations. Since 2019, the program has provided full scholarships to thirteen exceptional students from Chilean public schools. Each scholarship covers tuition, meals, transportation, materials, technology, extracurricular opportunities, and comprehensive academic and college counseling. Five Scholars have continued their studies at top U.S. universities, including Princeton, Duke, the University of Chicago, Lafayette College, and Wesleyan University. Two Scholars are currently studying Derecho at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile and Public Administration at Universidad de Chile. Two new Scholars joined in February 2026, and the program now supports six Scholars on campus.
Founded in 1934, The International School Nido de Aguilas is a co‑educational, non‑sectarian day school in Chile offering English‑medium instruction across Early Years through High School.

A program in arts, STEM and service activities complements academics, with clubs ranging from MUN and debate to Habitat for Humanity and Spanish Debate Club.
