The Instituto San Sebastián de Yumbel (ISS), initially known as Seminario de San Sebastián de Yumbel,[1] is a private Catholic pre-school, primary, and secondary school located in Yumbel, Bío Bío Province, Chile.
The school offers education at the Pre-school (Educación Parvularia), Primary (Educación Básica)[2] and Secondary (Enseñanza Media) levels.[3] It is one of the oldest institutions in the Bio Bio Region, playing an important philanthropic role in the Yumbel commune.[4]
History[edit]
The institute was founded by Archbishop José Hipólito Salas, with the personal approval of Pope Pius IX. It was initially known as Seminario de San Sebastián de Yumbel (English: Seminary of St. Sebastian of Yumbel) which appeared in public records until 1905.[1][4]
The school was founded upon Catholic-based prayer and theological discussion, which remain important to school practices and ceremonies.[1][4]
The school underwent a large-scale renovation in late 2007, including a new pavilion, classrooms, restrooms, showers and a computer lab. The renovations, managed by the Educational Foundation Cristo Rey, were a major success.[1][4]
