Area 2 QUALITY ASSURANCE
Area 3 HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
Area 4 TEACHING AND LEARNING
Area 5 STUDENT SERVICES
Area 6 EXTERNAL AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT SERVICES
Area 7 RESEARCH
Area 8 RESULTS
The school also acknowledges Ms. Dermelyn G. Ruiz, who served as a technical consultant. Her dedication to organizing and digital submissions was crucial to the efficiency and success of the accreditation process.
SVS expresses its sincere gratitude to its former School Director Rev. Fr. Teodoro L. Lazo, whose leadership was instrumental in preparing the institution for this accomplishment. His vision and commitment to Catholic education played a vital role in shaping the school’s direction.
In a message, Fr. Lazo shared:
