The school provides a variety of challenging educational opportunities and humane experiences to meet the needs of the individual students in this ever-changing society.

History

St. Scholastica's College (SSC) was founded on December 6, 1906 by five (5) German sisters headed by Sr. Ferdinanda Hoelzer, OSB.  In a small residential house in Tondo, the sisters started their educational apostolate with six (6) paying students and fifty (50) in the free section.  The sisters labored to enable students to learn and imbibe the Benedictine ideals of "Ora et Labora" of prayer and work.  As they continue the mission of providing education to the poor but deserving children, a free elementary school was put up when the sisters moved to Leon Guinto, its present site.  The said free school continued until such time the Sisters no longer saw its need due to government's taking a more active role in fulfilling its constitutional mandate of providing basic education. With the opening of more public elementary school, the Sisters saw their new role - that of providing additional education and training beyond grade school to those who needed it.  With this in mind, the Night Secondary School (NSS) was born in August 1970.

Since its founding, the NSS remains committed to providing secondary education to those who cannot afford it.  It has stood steadfast in assisting primarily its own personnel and house helps of faculty, students, staff and alumnae.  Conceived as an adult education program, it caters to working girls/women who are interested in improving their quality of life.  With an initial enrollment of sixteen student's (16), the NSS remains open to those interested in pursuing secondary education.  Its core of faculty members comes from the other units of the schools. All remain dedicated and committed to the Missionary Benedictine Sisters of Tutzing's educational thrust and sensitivity to social justice.
