PCSTS BEGINNING
More than twenty-five years ago, a missionary
couple, Pastor and Mrs. Delbert Hooge, introduced the
School of Tomorrow system (then known as Accelerated
Christian Education) to their local church as part of
their vision for the young people of the Philippines.
As more and more pastors became interested
in the individualized, Bible-based curriculum, there
grew a need to see a model school in operation
that would truly showcase the excellence of the curriculum
in action.
With this initial objective, Pastor and
Mrs. Hooge along with other Christian parents, decided
to launch the Philippine Christian School of Tomorrow
in June of 1992. PCST is dedicated to the program and
therefore provides the forum for those who are willing
to join with over 5,000 schools worldwide in offering
the highest academic system for their children.
From its humble beginning in a six-room
apartment building in Alabang, Muntinlupa City, PCST
is now in a lush, 1.6 hectare property located in the
heart of Metro Manila. The secure compound boasts of
fully air conditioned learning centers, a computer laboratory,
playground, Music and Arts Room, a 200 meter track oval,
tennis court, soccer field, a seven-lane twenty meter
competition pool, and a fully air-conditioned theater/gymnasium.
PCST is registered as the campus-based
school of the Pacific Rim Educational Foundation, Inc.,
operating independently with Mrs. Lora Lee Hooge as
Administrator.
PCST remains as the flag bearer of over
400 schools in the Philippines using the School of Tomorrow
system.
