History
It was founded in 1913 as a small school managed by the CICM Fathers headed by Fr. Pierre Cornelis De Brouwer inside the "convento" (convent) of the Immaculate Conception Parish (now the Immaculate Conception Cathedral in Pasig). It is considered the central Catholic educational institution of the Diocese of Pasig.[1]
Developments
In 1994 the old wooden college building was replaced by a concrete five-storey Administration Building. The building housed the high school and college classrooms as well as administrative offices. At the same time, a new school cafeteria was constructed in front of the high school building. The following year, a coeducational program was offered to the first two years of grade school and high school levels.
