ABOUT JPC
The Beginnings of JPC
In January 1996, John Paul Montessori School, Inc. was conceived when two dreamed of putting up a children’s school that would cater to the education of the youth of Roxas. These two educators desired to revolutionize teaching methodology in rural areas to be at par with city education. In February, they presented the idea to Engr. Manuel G. Andaya and Mrs. Rosalina S. Andaya and the latter who shared the same vision gave their full financial and moral support for this endeavor.

John Paul College, as an educational institution, is inspired by the teachings and philosophy of St. John Paul II relative to education through the following precepts:
- “The future starts today, not tomorrow.” Thus, exhorting students to put their goals into action today without any excuses. They must learn not to wait until tomorrow to start what they can do now.
- Education is explored by giving importance to the person, the action, community, solidarity and participation. Thus, anchoring in an educational philosophy which is more person-centered by recognizing the need to be conscious of the personal experience of each student.
- An education that recognizes that faith and reason are both essential for students to grow in knowledge and wisdom. Thus, believing that to grow in relationship with God is achieved by loving knowledge, striving for virtue, and caring for others.
