Brief History of the School:

The National Orthopedic Hospital School for Crippled Children is a special school that provides formal and informal education to a wide range of children with exceptional needs whose commonality is being orthopedically handicapped.

It was established in 1947 when then NOH Director J.V. Delos Santos felt a need of having Special Education Teachers to conduct bedside teaching to a greater number of patients who were elementary school children. Those children whose nature of ailments need months or years of hospital confinement received instruction at first from volunteers and later on from teachers requested by the hospital from the defunct Bureau of Public Schools.

Then the NOH transferred to the present site, Banawe St., Quezon City in September 1963, the NOH School for Crippled Children was under the supervision of the SPED Unit of the Bureau of Education. Then in 1964, the schools enrollment increased so the High School Department was offered with the support of the Division of City Schools Superintendent, Quezon City.

At present it has 3 units in the metropolis: NOH-SCC, Main Banawe St., Quezon City; NOH-SCC-D. Tuazon St., corner Calamba St., Quezon City; NOH-SCC-Phil. Cerebral Palsy, Inc., Makati City; NOH-SCC Blessed Guanella Center, Pingkian Road, Pasong Tamo, Quezon City.
