History

The school was founded by the late philanthropist Romeo Valenia Sta Ana Sr., who dreamed of a school which will bring quality education closer to people especially the young and the marginalized sector in Victorias City and its neighboring towns and cities. Although the Sta. Ana patriarch died without seeing his dream materialized, the seed of good intent grew to what is now Colegio de Sta. Ana de Victorias.

College

In 2011, the school was established with its first undergraduate program, the Bachelor of Elementary Education with two majors, Major in General Education and Major in Early Childhood Education. The school officially opened its classes with 144 students enrolled.[1]

Years after, 10 academic courses were added to the undergraduate programs of the college department and some of them are still offered until now.

In 2015, the school launched its official website, produced its first 62 BEED graduates, one academic program added, and officially granted by ISO 90001:2008 certification.[2]

Years after, PACUCOA granted the school’s candidacy status. The school was given the permit by the Bureau of Immigration to accept foreign students, and, continues to produce graduates from different academic programs.[1]

Integrated School

In 2012, an integrated school was established. The school built a two-story building to house its administration office and three classrooms for its Kindergarten, Grade 1 and Grade 7 students. There were only 8 employees and 62 students. After a year, the student’s population tripled when 191 students enrolled. This necessitated its movement to a new site to accommodate the growing number of students. The school added grade levels 2, 3, 4, and 8 and a three-story building.

In 2014, a covered court and an annex building were built. A year after, the school was granted Government Recognition by the Department of Education and completed its implementation of all grade levels. [3]

Patron Saint

St. Anne and her daughter Mary.

The school’s patron saints are St. Anne and St. Joachim, apocryphally known as the parents of Mary. After the school was established and named Colegio de Sta. Ana de Victorias, the school decided to have an official patron saint whose name is the same as the founder’s surname Filipino: “Sta. Ana” or English: “St. Anne”.

Academics

As well as their 4-year college degree programs, CSAV also offers preschool, elementary, secondary, and undergraduate programs. Their pre-elementary has Kinder 1 and Kinder 2, primary education has Grade 1 – 6, junior high school has Grade 7 – 10 and Senior High School has Grade 11 – 12.
