The Academia Interamericana Metro (before Academia del Sagrado Corazón) was founded in 1928 as a private and religious school in Santurce, Puerto Rico by Inter American University of Puerto Rico- Metro Cumpus.[1] The school provides elementary and high school education and is located in Avenida Ponce de León, at the Parada 19 in Santurce.
Before foundation
[edit]Before the school was founded, a small school affiliated with the church had existed on the current parking lot grounds of the church. This early school was housed in a wooden structure that was destroyed when Hurricane Philip struck Puerto Rico in 1928. This early school had only been an elementary school that had added a new grade every year.[2]
