Founding Beliefs
We are to be a loving community that influences the establishment of integrity, discipline, grace and faith in Jesus.
Education is our means of spreading love & faith through teaching the Holy Bible to students and incorporating Biblical values in the lessons.
Every student has unique capacities and gifts and should be encouraged to develop skills and passion to contribute to the community and follow God’s plan for their lives.
History
The School was founded on December 7, 1997 by Mr. Marianito O. Zerda and Mrs. Cecille Badana-Zerda. Returning to Cebu from Brunei with their five children, they answered the Lord's call to open an educational institution to help spread the Gospel of faith and love as Christ has taught.
