History

When the Jesuits first established in San Miguel, they bought a terrain of 36 hectares and established a school in it. The terms "Colegio máximo" ("Maximum College") is an internal standard in the Society of Jesus for schools of philosophy and theology, the most important studies in a Jesuit's career. It was established in 1932, with the approval of the Vatican. The degrees of philosophy and theology have civil value since 1967 and 1968.[2]

The Colegio, which was attended by Jorge Mario Bergoglio (the future Pope Francis), is portrayed in the 2019 Netflix biographical film The Two Popes.
