"San Ignacio" started its educational activities in 1963 as a primary school under the name "San Calixto Següencoma" with 235 students, many of them former pupils of San Calixto College.[1] In 1970 an evening class named "Loyola" was implemented. In 1980 the school first admitted girls. In 1981 the schools "San Calixto Següencoma" and "Loyola" were merged into a single "Colegio San Ignacio".[citation needed]
