Colegio San Calixto, La Paz
Colegio San Calixto, La Paz, was founded by the Society of Jesus in 1882, at the instigation of Monsignor Calixto Clavijo, and in his honour named for the third century martyr Pope Callixtus I. It offers primary and secondary education.
The school began in the residence of Marshal Andrés de Santa Cruz, now a national monument. The Jesuits began teaching with around 40 students. Over the years other works became associated with the Jesuit college including San Calixto Observatory.
Also, the school's Radio Fides was a pioneer in the business, beginning broadcasting in 1939.
