Chiang Kai Shek College () is a Chinese Filipino institution of higher learning founded by Chinese Filipinos, recognized by the government of Republic of the Philippines and the Republic of China (Taiwan). The school offers programs in the preschool, elementary, secondary, undergraduate, and graduate levels. It is the largest Chinese Filipino school in population in the Philippines. The school is located at 1274 Padre Algue St. Tondo, Manila, Philippines. ==History== Chiang Kai Shek College was founded by the late Principal, Mr. Wong Chun Seng and the late Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Mr. Yu Khe Thai with other prominent Chinese in Manila in June 1939, beginning with a population of 273 students. Chinese Filipino locals contributed to its buildings and facilities. The school was named after Generalissimo Chiang Kai Shek. Many years later, in the Pacific War, it was heavily damaged, fourteen teachers and students were killed for participating in underground activities. Thus a monument was built in commemoration. In June 1945, through the effort of the former Acting Principal Huang Chi Hwa, the school temporarily opened five review classes for senior and junior high school students. When Mr. Huang left in October, Mr. Pao Shih Tien was designated as the officer-in-charge by the Board of Trustees. Mr. Wong Chun Seng returned in December and was reappointed as the Principal by the Board of Trustees, with Dr. Pao Shih Tien as Acting Principal to assist him. The school reopened in December 1945. Under the management of the late Principal, together with the support of the Chinese Filipino community, the school acquired its present site. Student population was close to one thousand when the school moved to its new site in August 1948. On June 15, 1951, the Board of Trustees amended the organization of the school's administration by adding the position of Vice-Principal. Dr. Pao Shih Tien was appointed to this position. In 1955, a Normal School that offered a two-year course for training Chinese teachers opened. Principal Wong Chun Seng died in March 1956. Vice-Principal Pao Shih Tien temporarily took charge of the school's administration until May 1956 when the Board of Trustees appointed its Chairman Yu Khe Thai as Principal and Dr. Pao Shih Tien as Vice-Principal. On April 29, 1959 the Board of Trustees accepted the resignation of Mr. Yu as Principal and appointed Dr. Pao Shih Tien as his successor. The Wong Chun Seng Memorial Pre-School was established in 1958. It offered a one-year Nursery Course and a two-year Kindergarten Course. In 1965, this school became a college with the initial offering of two four-year collegiate courses—Bachelor of Science in Education (B.S.E.), Major in Chinese Literature and History; and Bachelor of Science in Education, Major in General Education. Dr. Pao Shih Tien was the first College President. The High School Department then had a three-year Senior High School and a three-year Junior High School. In 1966, the school started offering four-year courses in Commerce (B.S.C.) with majors in Accounting, Management, Banking and Finance. In 1968, with the opening of the Elementary Course, CKSC became an institution that offers education from kindergarten to college levels. In June 1976, all Chinese schools were Filipinized under the new constitution and Presidential Decree 176. All courses offered in the Collegiate Department are now in accordance with the standard requirements prescribed by the Department of Education. In addition to B.S.E. and B.S.C., Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (B.S.C.S.) and other two-year courses have been offered since 1992. In the High School Department, aside from the four-year General Secondary Course in English, only Chinese Language Arts subjects are allowed to be offered. Granted a permit to offer a two-year College Preparatory Course in Chinese in which some subjects in the previous senior high school curriculum used to be taught, CKSC also offers Chinese Language Arts subjects in the elementary school, besides the complete six-year Elementary Course in English. In June 1979, Dr. Jimmy Su took over the helm of the College, following the retirement of Dr. Pao Shih Tien who had served the school for forty years. After the death of Chairman Yu Khe Thai in April 1983, Dr. Pao Shih Tien assumed office as the Chairman, while Messrs. Dy Tiong, Leoncio Chungunco and Santiago Cua as Vice Chairman. With the retirement of Dr. Jimmy Su in March 1989, the Board of Trustees appointed Mr. Chien Yin Shao as the President of the College. Mr. Chien Yin Shao retired in May 1994. Mrs. Joan Sy Cotio was designated by the Board of Trustees as Acting President. Seven months later, she was appointed to lead the administration as the College President.〔(CKSC History )〕 In 2007, Joan Sy-Cotio, after serving for many years, retired as the college president. Dr. Bee Ching Ong Kian Koc succeeded her but after she finished her term in 2013, Dr. Dory Poa, an alumna of CKSC, who finished her doctorate degree at Stanford University, has become the college president. Dr. Poa had a number of international working experience with schools in the United States, Hong Kong, and Singapore. Schedule of school is 7:00 AM to 5:15 PM. Elementary to High School.
