In 1891, an adobe and brick building was created for the school and this was renamed "Escuela Graduada de Varones de San Vicente" (Graduate School for Boys of Saint Vincent) in 1893. Two years later, the name "Graduada de Mujeres de San Vicente" (Graduate School of Women of Saint Vincent) was added and these names were maintained until 1932, when the school was renamed again as "Escuela Porfirio Brenes Castro", its current name. The school Porfirio Brenes Castro now occupies a city block to the south of Parque de Moravia.
