History
Its director was Ricardo Monner Sans, born in Barcelona. In the early 1894, he was entrusted with the leadership of the American Institute of Adrogué, a position he served for six years. Monner Sans had been professor of Castilian literature in the Colegio Nacional de Buenos Aires.
In 1929, the national government took over the educational establishment, turning it into a free education school, changing the name to "Colegio Nacional Almirante Brown", (National College of Almirante Brown).

Boca Juniors in Adrogué, won by the Xeneizes by 3-2.
