Saint George's College
Saint Georges College, founded in 1936 and run by the Congregation of Holy Cross, is among the most exclusive and upper-class schools in Santiago, Chile. According to Seminarium Head Hunting, fully one third of the CEO's of the top 200 companies of Chile are graduates of St. George's. [*]
Originally an all-boys school, Saint Georges College was made co-educational in 1973. First located in the then-exclusive Pedro de Valdivia section of Providencia, in 1970 it was relocated to Vitacura.
A splinter group of parents and teachers, dissatisfied with the Liberation Theology measures imposed by Father Gerard Whelan during the early 1970s, broke off in 1972 and formed Colegio Tabancura, an Opus Dei-run boy's school.
Among Saint Georges College's internationally renown alumni are Jose Miguel Insulza , Andres Pascal Allende , Andres Wood , Gonzalo Lira .
