BRIEF HISTORY OF ST. THERESE LEARNING CENTER

In 1981, amidst the foreseen development of a residential-commercial community of Bago Bantay, Mrs. Leticia R. Bajacan founded an educational institution and named it ST. THERESE LEARNING CENTER of QUEZON CITY (in honor of her favorite saint, ST. THERESE of LISIEUX ). Being an educator for 25 years, a Guidance Counselor for Special Children and, an Educational Researcher of the Department of Education, she sees to smooth the progress of quality education to her growing community and its nearby areas.

She started with 10 Preschool students and held classes in a small private room only. The School has vastly gained recognition in the area because of its systematic and individualized method of teaching. There was a remarkable increase in the number of students enrolled a year after. In four years' time, it has expanded its coverage to complete Elementary Courses and added Special Education Program.

The Special Education Department was purposely established to carry on the personal vocation of our beloved Founder and Directress to provide appropriate programs and interventions to children with special needs. It was her ultimate dream to see them become self-sufficient and functional in the school and community they live in.

In 1986, the school acquired its Government Recognition from the Department of Education for its Elementary Education.

Having gained its reputation as an institution that truly upholds academic excellence and advocates a progressive and dynamic educational system, the clamor to level up the courses that we offered intensified. Thus in 2007, the school heeded the demands of the parents of our students to offer High School courses and shortly 3 years after has been granted the Government Recognition by the Department of Education for its High School Education.

Apart from the benefits of accessibility, practicality, exclusivity, and security, parents continue to feel more confident that their children will continue to gain quality education in a healthier and familiar environment towards high academic achievement.

To this day, the School remains faithful to its commitment in its quest for “Excellence in Education” and making our “Students of Today…be Leaders of Tomorrow.”
