The College of San Benildo-Rizal (CoSB-R) is a private and Catholic college in the province of Rizal in the Philippines . It was established in 1997. CoSB-R now operates in two campuses. The grade school unit is located at the Cainta Campus, along Marcos Highway. While the Antipolo Campus along Sumulong Highway houses both the high school and tertiary units.

Considered to be the best popular biography of St. John Baptist de La Salle in English published by the Brothers of the Christian Schools, “The Work is Yours,” echoes the call of the times to spread quality education to the youth of the world. This work is now being passed on to persons whose desire is to give the best that every learner deserves; persons inspired by the Spirit of the Lord and led by the charism of Saint John Baptist de La Salle, the Patron Saint of all Christian Teachers. Such was the starting point of San Benildo Integrated School (SBIS), a school for boys and girls along Marcos Highway in Cainta, Rizal.

A group of men and women incorporated themselves and registered with the SEC, in July 1996, which gave way to the organization of San Benildo Integrated School Foundation Incorporated. Encouraged by the ideals for which De La Salle University stands for, the Board sought the supervision of the Lasallian Schools Supervision Office (LASSO) for SBIS. This office provided assistance from the planning of the school building, the application and subsequent approval by the Department of Education to the faithful implementation of the policies towards ensuring the delivery of outstanding service to the youth.

Thus on June 2, 1997, the school opened its door to three hundred thirteen boys and girls who composed the first batch of pupils in Junior Prep to Grade 4. Twenty-three team players composed of 15 faculty members and 8 non-teaching staff and support personnel welcomed the children to their second home.

With the opening of the new campus along Sumulong Highway in June 2001, the school was fully operational with three hundred twelve students from First to Third Year High School with the assistance of two administrators, nine faculty members, one Guidance Counselor, one Librarian, two non-teaching staff and two maintenance personnel.

Nine years later in 2010, a college department was added to SBIS consequently changing its name to COLLEGE OF SAN BENILDO–RIZAL. The Commission on Higher Education has granted the institution permission to offer five Bachelor programs – Business Administration, Entrepreneurship, Information Technology, Elementary Education and Secondary Education.
