Liceo San Luis, located in Yarumal (Antioquia Department), originates in a
school established in 1899 by the notables of the town in the building housing
today Escuela Rosenda Torres. The establishment of a new school, to be named
Instituto San Ignacio de Loyola, was approved on 7 July 1905 by the Government
of Colombia. In 1910, Juan Arroyave, the parish priest, asked to the Superior of
the French Christian Brothers (Lasallian Brothers) to manage the school; Friars
Benoit Hildegrin, Emile Cervin, Daniel Paulino, and Joaquin Adolfa took the
direction of the school on 21 January 1911.
Following a dispute that had started in 1954 with the parish priest, Efraín
Jiménez Trujillo, regarding ownership of the school's building, the Lasallian
were ordered in 1963 by their Superior to withdraw from Yarumal. The school was
transferred to the Antioquia Department and renamed Liceo San Luis. In 1969, the
institute was open to girls and took over Instituto Pio XII. The institute is
named for St. Aloysius Gonzaga (1568-1591; canonized on 31 December 1726 by Pope
Benedict XIII), an aristocrat who studied with the Society of Jesus and died
during an epidemic of plague.

I know flag symbolism doesn't always make sense, but still: How does a school
supply a "pre-school" level of education. If it's a level they supply school at
it would seem to have become in-school instead.
