History
The school was founded in 1985 by Ms. Magdalene E. Lugue, and was formerly known as Saint Vincent's Child Study Center. The school started with 18 pupils in pre-elementary education under the advisorship of Mrs. Melania Mendoza-Quiroz. In 2001, the elementary course struggled to house the growing population until more classrooms were put up.
The high school department was realized by the late administrator Mrs. Aurora Lugue-Sarmiento, the younger sister of the founder. Mr. Eduardo V. Lugue, one of the faculty members, was promoted as the principal of the high school department.
Activities The school has a high school basketball team. It is registered with the Fund for Assistance to Private Education.
