The Peninsula School History An excerpt from Katherine Rabina's "Somewhere in Time"
The Peninsula School was established in July 1960. It was founded by Standard Vacuum Refining Corporation (STANVAC) to provide an elementary education for the dependents of American expatriates employed by STANVAC. The services of the International School of Makati was engaged for the curriculum. Administration supervision was provided by the De La Salle Brothers who supervised the selection and appointment of the faculty members and principal. In 1971, ESSO Fertilizer Inc. (ESFAC) now Planters Products Inc. (PPI) joined the subsidy of the school. From the school year 1960-72, the school was exclusively for the STANVAC and ESFAC dependents. The admission of children whose parents were not connected with the subsidizing companies began during the school year 1972-73. In 1973 with the advent of the oil crisis, the Philippine National Oil Company (PNOC) acquired sixty-percent ownership of Bataan Refining Corporation (BRC) from ESSO Philippines formerly STANVAC. The transfer affected the seperation of American expatriates and the take - over of all Filipino personnel. Consequently, The Peninsula School adapted the Philippine Curriculum. The newly-established Ford Ensite Philippine Brach in Mariveles, Bataan participated in the subsidy to accommodate the children of Australian expatriates connected with the company in 1974. In 1976, Ford withdrew their participation but rejoined the subsidy scheme in 1978-1981. The administration supervision of the De La Salle Brothers was completely withdrawn in 1978. Since then, the Center for Educational Measurement (CEM) provided testing services for students. Since its founding, the school was known as the Association of The Peninsula School. In October 1979, the name was changed to The Peninsula School, Inc. The membership was composed of parents of subsidizing companies. Contrary to popular notion, The Peninsula School is not a branch of the International School nor the De La Salle Schools. It is existing as an independent entity managed and supervised by the Board of Trustees and Administrative Staff of the school. |
