It was in 1985 at Alabang, Muntinlupa, Metro Manila when the Daughters of Virgin Mary Immaculate, a religious congregation of sisters founded in Italy, opened the doors of its first pre-elementary school in the Philippines. In the congregation?s desire to fulfill its vocation of taking care of the youth, the sisters addressed the pressing need to accept more school children. Expansion was considered but the limited space of their premises at Alabang made this extremely impossible.
