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:
“The disadvantage of men not knowing the past is that they do not know the present. History is a hill or high point of vantage, from which alone men see the town in which they live or the age in which they are living.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“The history of the world is the record of the weakness, frailty and death of public opinion.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
“I am ashamed to see what a shallow village tale our so-called History is. How many times must we say Rome, and Paris, and Constantinople! What does Rome know of rat and lizard? What are Olympiads and Consulates to these neighboring systems of being? Nay, what food or experience or succor have they for the Esquimaux seal-hunter, or the Kanaka in his canoe, for the fisherman, the stevedore, the porter?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
