History
Co-founded as an ESL academy by Juan de Dios and Sandra Gonzalez in 1989, the Colegio Bilingue Real was originally called the "Royal English Academy."
The Colegio Bilingue Real has since been expanded piecemeal to include more levels of education. In 1991, the junior high school, Secundaria Bilingue Real, was added. Because of high local demand for quality education, the school incorporated both elementary and highschool by 1994. Since then, it has managed to break local, state and regional academic and cultural records. As of 2009, the school offers kindergarten, elementary, middle-school, highschool and college classes.
The school is currently called "Colegio Bilingue Real," which means "Royal Bilingual School."
