Southville International School and Colleges (SISC) is a private, non-sectarian educational institution located in Las Piñas, Metro Manila, Philippines. Established in 1990, the institution offers a complete educational pathway from preschool to graduate studies. It is widely recognized for its strong international orientation, integration of global academic standards into its curricula, and pioneering work in flexible learning and academic innovation in the Philippines. SISC is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and authorized to offer the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme. It one of only a few Philippine schools recognized both locally and internationally for its quality management systems and academic excellence. Over the years, the institution has emphasized holistic development through academic rigor, community involvement, industry linkages, and robust student support systems. Its graduates have gained acceptance into top-tier universities in the Philippines, the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and parts of Asia, and many have gone on to excel in a wide variety of fields including law, business, entertainment, engineering, and technology. Southville International School and Colleges has also been granted Autonomous Status by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and has received multiple recognitions such as the Investors in People (IiP) Gold Award and the Philippine Quality Award (Level 3).

Southville International School and Colleges was founded in 1990 by Dr. Genevieve Ledesma-Laurel and a small group of progressive educators who envisioned delivering an international quality education within the Philippines. Initially starting as a small learning center with only two students and five teachers in the Elizalde Campus in BF Homes, Parañaque, the institution emphasized child-centered instruction and strong foundational learning skills. The early years focused on providing preschool and lower grade education. As demand for high-quality international education in southern Metro Manila began to grow, the institution formally adopted the name Southville International School and Colleges and progressively expanded its academic offerings.

By the mid-1990s, SISC opened additional grade levels and implemented international curricula aligned with standards from the United States and United Kingdom. In 1999, the school received its initial accreditation from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) — a milestone that verified its academic standards and marked its entrance into the global education space. The early 2000s saw the establishment of the Integrated Basic Education Department (Nursery to Grade 12) and the introduction of the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP), making SISC one of the earliest IB World Schools in the Philippines.

In response to requests from students and parents, SISC opened its higher education division in 2004 and began offering bachelor’s degree programs in communication, business, psychology, and information technology. Over the next decade, program offerings continued to grow, including nursing, education, engineering, entrepreneurship, and graduate programs (MBA, MIT and MA Psychology). Several alternative learning track initiatives were also launched during this period, such as the I.N.N.O.V.E. Education Solutions for customized and blended learning.The institution’s growth was supported by the development of multiple specialized campuses to accommodate different departments and academic levels.

Between 2008 and 2016, Southville received multiple recognitions, including the Investors in People – Gold Award for people management and the Philippine Quality Award (PQA) – Level 3. In 2016, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) granted SISC Autonomous Status, affirming the institution’s high-level performance in instruction, research, and community outreach.

Today, Southville International School and Colleges continues to expand its academic offerings and maintain partnerships with industry and international institutions. The school actively participates in community and sustainability programs, aligning its initiatives with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and remains committed to its core values of competence, character, creativity, collaboration, and commitment to achieve.

Southville International School and Colleges operates through several purpose-built campuses in Las Piñas and Parañaque, each designed to support a specific segment of its academic programs:

• Elizalde (STAR) Campus

The Elizalde Campus, located in BF Homes, Parañaque, serves as the original site of the institution and currently hosts preschool and early elementary levels (Nursery through Grade 1). The campus is designed with age-appropriate learning facilities, interactive classrooms, and outdoor learning areas to promote play-based and foundational learning.
