Saint Clare College of Region 02

Saint Clare College of Region 02 began with only eight (8) Nursery kids who were housed in the old building of a retired district supervisor of the Cauayan South District. With these eight kids, we were able to get a permit from the Department of Education, Culture and Sports in 1993 to operate this learning center. Since, it was intended as a drop-in center where working mothers leave their children ages 2 ½ to 4 ½ , it was named as Saint Clare Center of Excellence for Better Children. After two years of operation, more parents came to leave their children to us so, we expanded the curriculum to include 5 to 6 years old.

These parents clamored for the opening of a grade school to continue caring for their children as more parents came to leave their kids to us. So, we opened two grades every year and eventually completed the elementary course in 1998-1999. Though our space was limited, we were given a government permit because we complied with the standard rules and regulations of the Department of Education, Culture and Sports, (DECS) and because of the soundness of our curriculum based on our Vision, Mission and Objectives.

More inspirations came for our students and parents and above all the Divine Providence which led us to expand to the Secondary level. Like what we did with our elementary course, we opened one curriculum level every year from 2001 to 2006.

In S.Y. 2006-2007 we were authorized to operate a complete secondary course. However, to be able to get government recognition we were advised to buy a lot and put up our own building. We complied with the recommendations of the Department of Education (DepED) so, we got our recognition on April 13, 2009.
