History

Loyola College remains on 12th Avenue near 5th Street. In 1965 the preprimary opened and in 1968 the high school. In 1971 the primary added an afternoon session and the pre-primary moved to 12th Avenue 3-69 Zone 1. In 1972 an afternoon session opened for pre-primary. By the 1980s there were over 2,000 students at all three levels.

The College has received three government awards: Order José Rolz Bennet the Municipality of Guatemala and the Order of Quetzal granted by the Government of Guatemala both in 2007, and in 2008 the Pedagogical Order Juan Jose Arevalo granted by the Ministry of Education.
