Founded in 2000 by JeAn Palabrica, MBA, MPA (CenterPhil President & Owner) and started as a preschool with just 17 kids enrolled. To date, CenterPhil has a complete Preschool, Grade School, Junior High School and Senior High School Levels. Since then, the school has reaped outstanding recognitions both in academic & sports. Most people say that it is the school of the rich and the smartest in the
3rd Congressional District of Iloilo where a vast majority of its students include the sons & daughters of prominent & successful persons, Filipino-foreigners, politicians, executives, businessmen, professionals, & OFWs. If you are studying at the CenterPhil Campus, you have both the riches and smarts to survive an elitist CenterPhil Environment. As one of the few Montessori Schools in the Province of Iloilo (where CenterPhil Founder, President & Owner Mrs. Mary Jean Magno Palabrica,M.B.A.) is the only graduate of Early Childhood Education Major in Montessori Method at the prestigious and expensive O.B. Montessori in Manila, thus allowing CenterPhil use the name Montessori. It was alleged that the tuition fee at CenterPhil is way higher than that of other schools because of its educational standards. Because of its good learning atmosphere by having fully-airconditioned classrooms and with the presence of Montessori materials, CenterPhil tops other schools in the whole of Iloilo's 3rd District being the Number 1 School (both in Elementary & High School Levels) in DepEd's 2009 Year-End Achievement Test (YEAT) for all Private Schools & is the No. 1 Secondary Private School in Iloilo's 3rd District (Source: DepEd Division Memo No. 241, S. 2015)! No doubt that CenterPhil's products are highly competitive, intellectual and prepared leaders of tomorrow. Go go SilverKnights!
