Instituto O'Higgins is a well-known Catholic school founded in 1915 by four Marist Brothers, Andrés, Donato, Cristobal and Salvador María. It's located in the center of Rancagua, Chile.

Originally, the Instituto O'Higgins was exclusively for boys, but since the year 2000, girls have been allowed as well.

The Instituto O'Higgins' students are known in the city as "los Mochos", which in local slang means "cut short". This was first applied to the Marist Brothers, said to be lacking something to become priests. In time, the term has passed to the students, showing their affiliation with the school.

This school has a sports park called Estadio Marista (Marist Stadium), located in the town of Machali, near Rancagua.
