The Instituto San Sebastián de Yumbel (ISS), initially known as Seminario de San Sebastián de Yumbel,[1] is a private Catholic pre-school, primary, and secondary school located in Yumbel, Bío Bío Province, Chile.

The school offers education at the Pre-school (Educación Parvularia), Primary (Educación Básica)[2] and Secondary (Enseñanza Media) levels.[3] It is one of the oldest institutions in the Bio Bio Region, playing an important philanthropic role in the Yumbel commune.[4]

History

The institute was founded by Archbishop José Hipólito Salas, with the personal approval of Pope Pius IX. It was initially known as Seminario de San Sebastián de Yumbel (English: Seminary of St. Sebastian of Yumbel) which appeared in public records until 1905.[1][4]

The school was founded upon Catholic-based prayer and theological discussion, which remain important to school practices and ceremonies.[1][4]

The school underwent a large-scale renovation in late 2007, including a new pavilion, classrooms, restrooms, showers and a computer lab. The renovations, managed by the Educational Foundation Cristo Rey, were a major success.[1][4]

Institutional anthem

Spanish Literal English translation
Nuestro canto es un eco de victoria

¡cantemos con ardor!
los siglos han forjado nuestra historia
y es Chile nuestro honor.

Compartamos con todos la alegría
que da nuestro Patrono Sebastián
mañana serviremos noche y día
si hoy queremos estudiar.

Nuestra patria hoy de los niños reclama
le brindemos honor
de amistad se encienda
en todos la llama
salva al mundo el amor.

Hollando el bajo suelo
sigamos peregrinos de la vida
a todos muestra el Instituto al Cielo
y a ser hermanos de todos convida.

Our song is an echo of victory

Let us sing with fire!
The centuries have forged our history
And Chile is our honor.

Share with everyone the joy
That gives our Patron Sebastián
Tomorrow we will serve night and day
If today we want to study

Our homeland today of children complains
We honor you
Of friendship turn on
In all the flame
Save the world love.

Hiding the low ground
Follow pilgrims of life
Everyone shows the Institute to Heaven
And to be brothers of all invites.
