Colegio San Agustín Location Cochabamba, Bolivia Information Type Private Campus Urban Website http://www.sanagustin.edu.bo Colegio San Agustín, also called San Agustin High School is a private high school in Cochabamba, Bolivia.
2005 marked the school's 50th anniversary and it was awarded the Cóndor de Los Andes, the Bolivian government's highest distinction.
San Agustin High School has focused its education in providing a strong technical background for its students. Most of its students have obtained a degree in engineering or sciences, as critical thinking has been mainly promoted among its students. However, there have been students who obtained higher education in the social sciences as well. It is regarded as Bolivia's best high school due to the performance of its students in science contests as well as the performance shown by its graduates in public and private sectors.[citation needed]
Bolivia's Vice President Álvaro García Linera and former President Eduardo Rodríguez Veltze are notable alumni of the school.
This high school has been managed by The San Agustin Educational Foundation (Fundación Educacional San Agustín (FESA)) since 1992. Previously, it was managed by the Augustinians.
