Quezon City Science High School, public science high school in Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines
Quezon City Science High School is a public school in Bago Bantay that focuses on science and mathematics, serving students from Grade 7 through Grade 12. The campus sits on about 2.4 hectares of land that once housed San Jose Seminary, and includes multiple buildings with laboratories for chemistry, biology, and physics, along with a computer center.
The school was founded in 1967 to give students a stronger focus on science from early grades, making it the first school in Quezon City to offer a specialized science curriculum for high school students. After relocating to the former San Jose Seminary site in 1969, the school expanded steadily with new laboratory buildings in the 1970s and 1980s, and received support from the United States government in the 1990s to add more facilities.
The school refers to its students as 'Scientians', reflecting a strong identity within the science community. This term shapes how students see themselves and creates a sense of belonging to a focused group dedicated to scientific learning.
The campus is located near a public hospital, making it relatively easy to find within Quezon City. Keep in mind this is an active school, so visits may need to be arranged in advance, especially during regular school hours.
The school received support from the United States government in the 1990s to develop advanced laboratory facilities including a speech lab, extending its offerings beyond pure science subjects. This international collaboration helped establish it as a regional center for science and technology education across the entire capital region.
