Mariano Acosta school

Mariano Acosta school at General Urquiza 277 combines architectural elements from the late 1800s with an additional wing added in 1944. The main building displays the style of that period, while the newer section expanded the school to serve more students.

The school was founded in 1874 and first operated in Casa de Cambaceres before relocating to its current location in 1889. This move marked a turning point as it established itself as a teacher training institution.

The school shaped many influential figures who later became prominent in Argentine culture and arts. Walking through the hallways, you can sense the connection to this intellectual tradition that has touched the lives of countless generations.

The school teaches at four levels: kindergarten, primary, secondary, and higher education with a focus on teacher training. Access is available during school hours when visitors can explore the building and grounds.

The building received National Historical Monument status in 1999 through Argentine law 25.171. This recognition honored its role in shaping the country's educational history over more than a century.
