VISION

INTEGRITY AND UNIVERSITY COUNSELING

• Nido de Aguilas limits the number of applications to a maximum of 10 schools and strongly encourages students to limit the number of countries that a student applies to 4 or fewer countries. Nido de Aguilas students should be considered serious applicants.

• Nido de Aguilas students are required to sign and adhere to the school’s early decision policy which states that if a student applies early, and is accepted to that school, the student will enroll and withdraw all other active applications.

• Teachers and counselors have close working relationships with seniors through seminar-style discussion courses, extracurricular activities and other mentorship opportunities. It is our intention to provide specific and in-depth letters of recommendations that best represent our students’ abilities, level of engagement and interest in being challenged as well as other intangible qualities like curiosity and creativity. It is our policy to not fill in the Ratings/Rankings, and all recommendations are confidential.

The 2019-20 and 2020-21 School Years held many unexpected challenges for Chile and the world.

October 2019

Though the School was able to resume some campus based co-curricular activities, there were several modiﬁcations to the schedule and interruptions that persisted for the remainder of the semester

December 2019

Civil unrest forced the PSU selection test (Prueba de Selección Universitaria), a university selection test required for all students applying to university in Chile, to be canceled. Nido de Aguilas observed its normal summer break period between December 19, 2019 - February 17, 2020

March 2020
