The Best Sta Rosa Schools and in the Country converges in Sta. Rosa Laguna

This really comes as a surprise to me. I guess a side benefit of creating this free resource about Santa Rosa City, I learned that the number of Sta Rosa Schools available is above average compared to other towns or city. This will ensure a Highly Educated Workforce and provide qualified supply of labor force or entrepreneurs in the future.

Laguna Bel Air Science High School is DECS-accredited. The Philippine Science High School (PSHS) in Quezon City provided expert assistance in the evaluation of its teaching staff and its curriculum and facilities to ensure a high standard of education with emphasis on mathematics and science. No less than former secretary of the Department of Science and Technology, William Padolina, and PSHS Director Vicenta Reyes formally inaugurated the school on the 25th of May 1997.

About PSHS: It may be a learning center but, technically, it’s not a school and is not under DECS; it’s an attached agency of the Department of Science and Technology.

Green Fields International School (GFIS) operated for four years as a language school for overseas students who wish to develop their English communication skills and was then known as Sandra’s Language Center. GFIS formally opened last school year (2008-2009) and offers nursery, kinder, preparatory and elementary courses. What was then Sandra’s is now the school’s ESL (English as a Second Language) Department.

Ateneo de Manila University Graduate School of Business (Ateneo-Regis MBA Program)– Ateneo and Regis University, a recognized Center for Adult Learning in Denver, Colorado, in the United States, entered into a Program Development and License Agreement in October 1997. Under the agreement, the two Jesuit institutions, through the Ateneo Graduate School of Business and Regis University’s International Studies Program and its Graduate School of Business, committed to develop an MBA program designed specifically for professionals who seek to further their management skills.

Brent International School is located just a tad north of Sta. Rosa in Brentville International Community in Mamplasan, Binan. Founded by the late Protestant Episcopal Bishop Charles Henry Brent (1862-1929) in Baguio City in 1909, Bishop Brent’s ministry was marked by three major themes: education, eradication of drugs and Christian Unity. While in the Philippines, he began a crusade against opium traffic which he expanded to the whole of Asia. The current Brent opened in 1999 and was originally called the South Campus (it had campuses in Baguio, Pasig and Subic which were eventually incorporated separately). The Pasig campus closed down in 2007-2008 and Brent Manila now only operates out of its Binan campus.

De La Salle Canlubang or (DLSC), actually located in Binan, is a member-institution of De La Salle Philippines and the world-wide system of Catholic institutions inspired by the charism of its founder, St. John Baptist de La Salle. DLSC isthe first campus in the country to incorporate a science-oriented curriculum throughout all levels of its academic programs. (Note: I doubt this claim very much)

St. Scholastica’s College Westgrove opened in 2001; its first building (on the right, was donated by Ayala Land, inc. University of the Philippines Los Banos needs no introduction. It’s Hon. Mayor Arlene Arcillas-Nazareno’s (Sta. Rosa’s current Mayor’s) alma matter where she obtained her B.S. Biology degree.

The University of Asia and the Pacific is set to open its School of Health Science in Canlubang. I can’t confirm yet where exactly it will be located but on the right is an image of what it will look like.

The campus will be huge, that, according to my sources in UST, is envisioned to include a commercial complex and a residential development within that are aimed for the families of its doctors, faculty members, officials, employees and students.Aside from the medical science and allied courses, UST Sta. Rosa will also be acenter for IT learning.This, however, has yet to be confirmed by the person who’s authorized to make such statement – Dr. Pilar Romero, PhD, Education, UST’s Executive Assistant to the Rector for Administration. I will get in touch with her soon. Xavier School, Xavier Nuvali

Xavier School will open a co-educational learning institution in Canlubang in 2012. The 15-hectare campus will be located in the heart of Nuvali, Ayala Land’s flagship project. It will be just across Treveia, one of the many residential components of Nuvali.
