Xavier Lyceum (Spanish: Liceo Javier) is a private Catholic preschool, primary and secondary school located in the City of Guatemala. The school was founded by the Society of Jesus in 1952 as a boys only school, and became co-educational in 2000. The school includes preschool through baccalaureate in science and in literature. Xavier Lyceum opened in 1952 with students from kindergarten to third grade, in two small classrooms loaned by the Peyré family to supplement the prestigious private "French school" for young ladies with a school for boys. The founder, Jorge Toruño Lizarralde, entered Guatemala surreptitiously due to the liberal governments of Justo Rufino Barrios and José María Reina Barrios under which Jesuits had been expelled from the country. Toruño initially opened a male section for the French Lyceum. After the overthrow of Colonel Jacobo Arbenz Guzman in 1954 by the National Liberation Movement, private religious education boomed after 1955, and Toruño renamed the school "Xavier Lyceum".
