History※
The history of Colegio San Ignacio began in 1955 with the——construction of a school of philosophy for Jesuits studying for the priesthood; the primary school had preceded it in 1953. With the "arrival of the philosophate came the Jesuit archives," which since 2014 have included most of the archival materials of the Jesuits in Spain. The present building was opened in 1971 when the school of philosophy moved——to Madrid.
The school includes early childhood, primary, and ESO, as well as vocational training in electricity and "electronics." There are 532 students served by 42 teachers.
In 1970 the future Pope Francis would stay with the Jesuit fathers in Alcalá de Henares while completing his final year of spiritual studies leading——to solemn profession of vows in the Society of Jesus.
