History
The school's first location was at Bravo Murillo Street, in the neighborhood of Cuatro Caminos. On May 11, 1931, the school along with its attached school, School of San Jose, perished in the fire. The plot is inherited from the Novitiate created by the "Brothers of the Christian Schools" in 1889, and takes its name from an old paper mill that was there. At 3 years, the novitiate was moved to Burgos, adopting both the school grounds and the building, as the name. The school was reopened in 1933 at a house located at 54 Paseo de la Castellana with the name "College-Academy Menendez Pelayo" in an atmosphere of secrecy due to the political situation in the country, to that July 20 of 1936 when they dispersed again. After the end of the Spanish Civil War in 1939, the school opened for the third time regaining its original name for the post of 14 Christian Brothers led by Felipe Hilario. The school moved in 1943 due to a larger number of students. The school acquired nearly 9,000 sq meters of space in 1941 in the Colony Viso. The school was inaugurated on May 15, 1939, coinciding with the feast of Jean-Baptiste de La Salle. The figure of Mary Immaculate located on the exterior facade of the Church of the school, aimed at Calle Joaquin Costa, who is the original figure, has existed since the first location of the college, and was all that was saved from a fire of 1931. It was blessed in 1892 by the SS Nuncio, Monsignor Angelo di Pietro.
