History
Instituto San Roberto was founded on March 8, 1982 by Monica Sada, as a school dedicated to the education of preschoolers. ISR started activities on September 1982, in a rented house in San Pedro Garza García, Nuevo León.
The name “San Roberto” was chosen in honor of Mr. Roberto G. Sada Jr., one of Monterrey’s most distinguished businessmen and father of the founder. The Preschool level was successful in the community, and parents asked for the Elementary level to be opened. This level was started with a bilingual system in September 1983.
Due to the increase in the number of students and the need for new facilities, Mrs. Cristina Sada, the founder’s sister, joined the school as an investor. On November 1984, the new San Agustin Campus was inaugurated.
The Middle School level was initiated in September 1989 and the Valle Alto Campus opened its doors in September 1994 to attend the requirements of parents in the southern part of the city.
Both campuses, San Agustin and Valle Alto, obtained initial accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) on December 2002, and were re-accredited in 2006 and 2010.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“I believe that history has shape, order, and meaning; that exceptional men, as much as economic forces, produce change; and that passé abstractions like beauty, nobility, and greatness have a shifting but continuing validity.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“The greatest horrors in the history of mankind are not due to the ambition of the Napoleons or the vengeance of the Agamemnons, but to the doctrinaire philosophers. The theories of the sentimentalist Rousseau inspired the integrity of the passionless Robespierre. The cold-blooded calculations of Karl Marx led to the judicial and business-like operations of the Cheka.”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
“You that would judge me do not judge alone
This book or that, come to this hallowed place
Where my friends’ portraits hang and look thereon;
Ireland’s history in their lineaments trace;
Think where man’s glory most begins and ends
And say my glory was I had such friends.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
