Once it was a
dream, a prayer for one person, of a family who responded to the
call of God.
The call was to establish a school founded in His love that
looks upon every child as a holy offering to Him. The Holy Child
School of Davao (formerly Holy Child Day Care and Learning
Center) was founded by Mrs. Victoria D. Leuterio in 1981. With
humble beginnings, it started from a garage of two classrooms as
a preparatory school. in 1982, the school moved to its present
site along Jacinto Street.
With the prodding and encouragement of the pre-school parents at
that time, Mrs. Leuterio, the school founder and directress
extended the school's offering to the primary course.
With the increase in enrolment each year, the school offered a
complete Elementary Course. Thus, the Pre-School and Elementary
courses were given recognition by the government in 1986. The
school then opened its portals to high school students and in
1993 the High School Department was recognized by the
government.
Indeed, the Divine Father honored the labor of His children, and
the school bore fruits abundantly. Responding to the call of
service, the school opened its doors to the members of our
community who cannot go to school on a regular basis. Hence, the
Sunday School Department provided opportunities to those working
students to earn a high school diploma.
The academe now boasts of two branches namely, The Holy Child
School of Davao Green Meadows and Buhangin Campuses. The Green
Meadows Campus offers a complete Pre-School, Elementary and High
School Curricula, with two government recognitions, given on
2003 for the Pre-School and Elementary levels and in 2002 for
the High School level. It has also opened its Sunday High School
Program in 2003. The Buhangin Campus offers Pre-School and
Elementary curricula.
The workers in His Vineyard continuously reap returns of
blessings. The fruits served their purpose, that of multiplying
goodness in the land. The HCSD continues to flourish as a
leading academy, not only in providing training to our youth in
the aspects of basic education but also in harnessing local
talents in the field of sports and in global competitiveness in
the Information Technology market. Thu, HC3E rose as a pillar in
Information Technology education. It offers Bachelor of Science
in Information Technology, Information Management and Computer
Science. The College Department also offers two-year courses in
Diploma in Information Technology and Office Skills Management
with Desktop Publishing and other short courses.
In the year 2004, the school continues to rise as a leading
institution as it opens the College of Nursing, College of
Commerce and the College of Education.
At present, the Holy Child School of Davao continues to expand
its services to the community. With its foundation strongly
anchored in good soil of righteousness and faith in the
Almighty, this institution will
