ASSUMPTION ANTIPOLO’S EDUCATIONAL APOSTOLATE nestles in the lush greenery of Antipolo’s hills, blending gracefully with nature’s gifts, creating a feeling of oneness with nature and with God. The physical structure of the buildings, with spacious classrooms and wide open doors, provides an atmosphere conducive to learning. It is a place where “education allows the good in every person to break thr
ough the rock that imprisons it and bring it into the light, where it can blossom and shed its radiance.” This was the vision of St. Marie Eugenie, the Foundress of the Congregation of the Religious of the Assumption. The beginning of Assumption Antipolo marked the formal closing of the Assumption in Malate. With the location gradually ceasing to provide the climate conducive to learning, the sisters decided to move the Grade School to Antipolo on September 11, 1974. In 1987, the High School opened and had its first graduates in March 1991. Assumption Antipolo is a Catholic educational apostolate that aims at the integral formation of persons and communities who witness to the love of Jesus Christ and are committed to work for the extension of God’s Kingdom. From the very beginning, the sisters together with the lay provide BASIC EDUCATION that aims to Christianize the intelligence of students, who are well prepared for college and are committed to justice, peace, solidarity and care for God’s creation. This is exemplified in the school’s academic and non-academic programs. As a Christ-centered school community, Christian Living Education or CLE is at the heart of the curriculum. Assumption Antipolo’s education also provides a well-balanced foundation for Academic Excellence as knowledge, skills, attitudes and values are given primary importance. Intrinsic to the total development of persons, Assumption Antipolo offers the Alay Kapwa Program and the Environmental Education Program to strengthen the integration of core Gospel values, social consciousness, community development and care for creation. These are formation programs for social and environmental awareness, social responsibility, decisive action and commitment.
