About the Library
Our library “P. Juan Alberto Sancho, SJ” has a long history. Its beginnings date back to 1880. In its more than 140 years of existence, it has served as support to priests, teachers and students who have been part of the institution throughout their lives.
We constantly update our catalogue to continue growing and enriching the training of our students.

A little bit of Library History:
The material we present is based on Julia Demasi's final degree project, entitled The Seminario College Library.
Activities for parents
Club Seminario
The Seminary Club is a sports and social club that brings together people linked to the Jesuits in Uruguay, who aim to bring Ignatian spirituality to every sport. It offers a space to practice sports and develop cultural and social activities to contribute to strengthening Christian values for the formation of spiritually and physically healthy and strong people.
Sing Seminar
It seeks to promote vocal and artistic musical development, as well as to provide a meeting space for members of the educational community of Colegio Seminario.
Seminario Canta has two spaces: Choir and Workshop. Both are open to the public, and invite more than forty singers to a proposal of musical growth and exploration.
Family pastoral care
This Movement seeks to support, strengthen and accompany the family lives – married or single-parent – of our students. We want to support the richness of family life at the School, since we are convinced that when the family remains united, strong and with Jesus at the center, our students grow and develop in better conditions.
Training in Manresa
Inspired by Ignatian spirituality, we promote the growth of the inner life through Spiritual Exercises, Retreats and Workshops, among others, in the privileged natural environment of the Manresa Spirituality Center.
Sacraments for adults
A wonderful opportunity to prepare for the sacraments of Baptism, First Communion and Confirmation at school with other members of the educational community.

Works supported by the company
Faith and joy
It is a movement for education and social promotion. It promotes quality comprehensive education for those who live in situations of greater vulnerability and social exclusion. It makes a proposal for social transformation in close dialogue with the community. It is a work of the Society of Jesus and is part of the International Federation of Fe y Alegría.
Jesuit Migrant Service
Its mission is to promote and protect the dignity and rights of migrants from Argentina and Uruguay. Migration reveals injustices, but at the same time, migration allows us to glimpse a new society. A society in which borders are overcome, in which differences are recognized and reconciled, in which universal citizenship takes shape.
Home of Christ
The association seeks to welcome the poorest with love and dignity, announcing the Good News, becoming aware with them of our dignity as children of God and as citizens, with rights and responsibilities. To call upon and involve the community in promoting a culture of respect, justice, solidarity and integration, all animated by the spirituality of Saint Alberto Hurtado.
Useful resources
Psychology and Guidance
This blog will cover some topics related to the stage of life your children are in and the challenges that this entails. We will work on aspects of emotional life as well as learning, seeking to give practical guidance on how to work on them from home. We will also seek to connect the activities and proposals, both pastoral and pedagogical, that the students are experiencing at school with input that you - as parents - can receive that contribute to promoting reflection.
Nutrition
Nutrition is part of a student's comprehensive education. In childhood, eating habits are established that will accompany us for the rest of our lives, thus determining our nutritional status and our health.
That is why it is so important to make an effort to establish and/or improve eating habits during this stage of life.
