Colegio Bernardo Valdivieso is a historic public secondary school in Loja, Ecuador. Press and scholarly accounts trace its antecedents to a Jesuit school created in 1727, interrupted by the 1767 expulsion of the Society of Jesus, and reorganized during the nineteenth century; it is therefore regarded as one of the oldest secondary schools in Ecuador.
