Xavier Lyceum (Spanish: Liceo Javier) is a private Catholic preschool, primary and secondary school located in the City of Guatemala.

[citation needed] 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.

[citation needed] 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".

[citation needed] Shortly after 1952, the school moved from 4th Avenue Zone 1 of Guatemala City, "Simeon Canas" Avenue near the North Race Track, and with the help of grants and loans, Toruño bought 17 blocks on the edge of the Calzada Aguilar Bátres, which had been the location of the school since 1957.

[clarification needed] In 1956, construction began on the primary building, which was finished in 1957, the year that the school moved permanently to new premises.
