Colegio San Ignacio de Loyola is an all-male, Catholic, Jesuit, college-preparatory school founded by the Society of Jesus in San Juan, Puerto Rico, in 1952. It has educated some of most influential figures of Puerto Rico, such as Ruben Berrios and Raúl Juliá. It is considered a college prep school since all of its graduates go on to colleges, outside Puerto Rico in half the cases, mainly in the continental United States, often at top-ranked colleges and universities such as Boston College, Duke University, Georgia Institute of Technology, Columbia University, Cornell University, Georgetown University, Princeton University, Harvard College, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Pennsylvania, and Yale University.
The school was originally located in Santurce, but the Jesuits moved it to its current location in Rio Piedras in 1956. Colegio San Ignacio resembles a small university campus as it has several buildings: two identical buildings consisting of classrooms, named San Luis Gonzaga (formerly "Building A") and San Francisco Javier (formerly "Building B); one building with a resource center on the first floor and a library on the second floor; the Padre Pedro Arrupe Building which houses classrooms and offices; the cafeteria building; "Building C" which houses the science classrooms and laboratories and a science and math resource center; the Complejo Cultural, a new state-of-the-art humanities building completed in the year 2004 which houses English, Spanish, music, drama, and oratory classrooms and an auditorium; the administration building which houses most of the administrative staff.
