History of The Nazareth School

The Nazareth School had its beginnings in 1984. This School was known as Christian Achievement Center situated in the old house of Jose Rizal’s love, Segunda Katigbak, on a 600 square meter lot at 128 Rizal Street in the heart of Lipa City. By the second year of operation, CAC had changed its name to The Little Nazareth School, which was named by Msgr. Amador Litong, a friend of the foundress, Juliet Sto. Tomas.

In 1988, there were four levels of Pre-School starting from Nursery, Junior Kinder, Senior Kinder, and Prep. The Grade School Department of TLN started with Grade 1 in the school year 1989-1990. Each year, the Grade School added one grade level until the first batch of Grade 6 students graduated in 1995. Because of the fast development in the city and the growing number of students, TLN had transferred to its new school building on a 1500 square meter lot at Miracle Heights Subdivision on February 2, 1993. This new building was designed to give an atmosphere of a second home that provided the parents a sense of peace and security away from the busy streets of Lipa.

Since 1995, TLN has maintained the four levels of Pre-School and the complete six levels in the Grade School. With the advent of computers and the globalization of information in 1997, TLN was challenged to integrate the new technology into the classroom but anchored at the same vision, mission, and values for its students. In January 2002, TLN moved to a bigger building along J. P. Laurel Highway and has since changed its name to “The Nazareth School of Lipa City, Inc.”.
On July 9, 2007, with its new partner and co-owner Engr. Juanito Almero, The Nazareth School moved to its permanent home in Brgy. Dagatan, Lipa City. The campus has 3 main buildings, the Administration, Pre-School to Grade School, and the High School. In the same year, TNS opened its High School level with its Arts and Science curricula and the Multiple Intelligences framework.

In 2016, the Senior High School department opened its very first Grade 11 class with twenty eight students in different strands namely: a) STEM – Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics; b) HUMSS – Humanities and Social Sciences, c) ABM – Accountancy, Business, and Management; and d) GAS – General Academic Strand. This first batch of Senior High School students graduated in 2018.

On April 23, 2019, The Nazareth School of Lipa City, Inc land property was acquired by the Padre Garcia Realty, Inc. through its Chairman, Mr. Rustico V. Recto Jr. and its name, permits, and intellectual property rights were conveyed to LIFE, Inc. through its President, Mr. Arnold R. Capuloy. Anchored in the same but evolving vision and mission, the School hopes to make a valuable impact on the community in the many generations to come.
