Chiang Kai Shek College is the only institution of higher learning founded by the overseas Filipino-Chinese that is recognized by both governments of the Republic of the Philippines and the Republic of China. It offers education in all levels. Chiang Kai Shek High School, the forerunner of this College, was founded by the late Principal, Mr. Wong Chun Seng, the late Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Mr. Yu Khe Thai, and other prominent Chinese in Manila in June 1939 with an initial population of 273 students. It was named after Generalissimo Chiang Kai Shek for the young Filipino-Chinese to emulate the great personality and spirit of the late president.
