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:
“It would be naive to think that peace and justice can be achieved easily. No set of rules or study of history will automatically resolve the problems.... However, with faith and perseverance,... complex problems in the past have been resolved in our search for justice and peace. They can be resolved in the future, provided, of course, that we can think of five new ways to measure the height of a tall building by using a barometer.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“A man will not need to study history to find out what is best for his own culture.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“In the history of the United States, there is no continuity at all. You can cut through it anywhere and nothing on this side of the cut has anything to do with anything on the other side.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
