Internado Nacional Femenino

Internado Nacional Femenino is a girls boarding school located in Ñuñoa built across a substantial campus. The complex includes residential dormitories, teaching buildings, sports facilities, and spaces for recreation and leisure activities.

The school was founded in 1898 and was the first public girls boarding institution in Chile. It was named in honor of Carmela Silva Donoso, its founding director.

The school maintains traditions that bring students together and foster a sense of community. The school anthem and regular ceremonies shape daily life and give the community its identity.

The school is easily accessible by public transportation from Santiago. Visitors should check access policies beforehand since it is an active residential school for students.

The school became a focal point during student demonstrations in 2011 that centered on education reform. These events brought questions about school equity into broader public conversation.
