Colegio San Agustín
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
San Agustin High School (Colegio San Agustin) is a private high school in Cochabamba, Bolivia.
In 2005, it was San Agustin's 50th anniversary and it was awarded the Cóndor de Los Andes, Bolivian Government's highest distinction.
San Agustin high school has focused its education in providing a strong technical background to its students. Most of its students have obtained a degree in engineering or sciences. However, a critical thinking has been mainly promoted among its students. Therefore, there have been students who obtained higher education in the social sciences as well. It is sometimes regarded as Bolivia's best high school all over the country due to the performance of its students in science contests as well as the performance shown by its graduated students in public and private sectors.
Bolivia's vice president Álvaro García Linera and former president Eduardo Rodríguez Veltze graduated from San Agustin. Other actors in the political scene who studied in San Agustin include Jorge "Tuto" Quiroga Ramírez.
This high school has been managed by The San Agustin Educational Foundation (Fundación Educacional San Agustín (FESA)) since 1992. Previously, it was managed by augustinian priests.
