The USUFRUCT agreement ensures the 50-year proper use of land and resources dedicated to the school, paving the way for its continuous growth and sustainability.
Mayor Denver Christopher Reyes Chua underscored the significance of the project, stating, “The establishment of this integrated school supports the city’s vision to make education accessible to our youth.” He emphasized that expanding educational opportunities remains a top priority of the local government.
Sta. Cruz Integrated School is expected to serve as a model for future educational initiatives in the division, offering enhanced opportunities for holistic development and streamlined educational pathways for Grade 7 students starting school year 2026-2027.
The plan is to introduce another grade level in the succeeding school years.
This to be the first in the city to offer a complete Kindergarten to Grade 12 (K–12) program. As Cavite City celebrates this milestone, stakeholders remain optimistic that the establishment of the integrated school will contribute significantly to shaping a brighter future for the next generation.
