What colegio almendral does

Colegio Almendral is a Catholic K-12 girls' school located in La Pintana, in the southern periphery of Santiago, Chile. Founded in 1999 and operated by Fundación de Educación Nocedal (established 1995), the school serves students from vulnerable socioeconomic backgrounds, offering education from pre-kindergarten through 4th year of enseñanza media with a technical-professional specialty in administration. The foundation operates three additional schools — Colegio Nocedal, Colegio PuenteMaipo (founded 2014), and Colegio Trigales del Maipo — collectively serving over 3,000 students with 1,300+ technical-specialty graduates to date.

The school's academic platform integrates the Lab4u mobile-based science curriculum donated by Pfizer, enabling hands-on laboratory work via students' own smartphones. Co-curricular programs include a school choir, the "Patio Vivo Almendral" active-playground initiative, and a godparent/sponsorship model that links donors directly to individual students. Student recruitment runs through Chile's national School Admission System (SAE), direct community outreach in vulnerable zones, and articulation agreements with INACAP and Universidad de los Andes for technical and higher-education pathways.

The operating model is non-profit and multi-stream: monthly family contributions of 3 UF per student, corporate social-responsibility donations (Pfizer, Banco Scotiabank, Fundación Claro Vial, Caja Los Andes), annual public fundraising campaigns including "Colecta Nocedal" (raising 56,464,290 CLP in 2025) and "Noche Nocedal," and tax-incentivized donations under Chilean Law 19.247, which offers corporate donors up to a 50% tax credit. The foundation is governed by a renewed board, a Business Advisory Council, and a Consejo de la Sociedad Civil (COSOC).
