Military Schools

By Robert Kennedy, About.com

Many of our finest and most brilliant military leaders have gotten their start at one of these institutions. At a minimum their graduates come away from the experience with an understanding of personal and team discipline which serves them well throughout their adult lives. Military schools have moved with the times. Exciting new technology programs and the strengthening of traditional curricula place most military schools in the vanguard of education these days.

Barquín López, dio inicio a su misión educativa en enero de 1963 con 28 estudiantes, en los predios situados juntos a la intersección de las antiguas carreteras 20 y Los Filtros de Guaynabo. Años más tarde abren los Recintos de Santa Paula y Los Robles y en el 1976 se trasladan todos los planteles a su actual ubicación en la Avenida Lomas Verdes."
