Elizabeth Seton School is a private school in BF Resort, Las Piňas City and in Anabu 2-D, Imus, Cavite, The Philippines. == School History == In 1975, educator Dr. Josefina V. Suarez and her brother-in-law, businessman Fernando B. Alido, collaborated to establish a preschool in Bacoor, Cavite. They named the school after Mother Elizabeth Ann Seton, an American saint who established a religious community of teaching sisters and laid the foundation of the Catholic parochial system in America; The day Saint Elizabeth Seton was proclaimed a saint by the Catholic Church was also the same day Dr. Suarez received her permit by the Department of Education to open a school, thus she named her school after Elizabeth Seton. The school started with two classes in school year 1975-1976 with 14 pupils in the morning and 20 pupils in the afternoon both handled by Dr. Suarez, while both families attended to other tasks connected with running a school. Every year after its establishment, an increasing number of new students sought admission. Meanwhile, the parents of current students did not want to transfer their children who were promoted to higher levels. To address this, additional teachers were hired and levels were added each school year. In 1979, the school opened the first batch of grade school students. During its formative stages, the school had to transfer to four different sites to accommodate its increasing population, until it settled in its permanent location in BF Resort Village, Las Piñas in 1987 which also housed the first batch of high school students. From then on, the school proclaimed its status as a Catholic School with fervent spiritual guidance from the Oblates of Divine Love Community from Rome, paving way for the construction of the school chapel which was blessed by Jaime Cardinal Sin and Monsignor Josefino Ramirez of the Archdiocese of Manila in 1989. After receiving its Level I Accreditation from the Philippine Accrediting Association of School, Colleges and Universities (PAASCU) in July 1997, the school management decided to put up another campus to ease the congestion in main campus and to serve the needs of residents farther south. On its 23rd year, the Elizabeth Seton School-South campus at Anabu II-D, Imus Cavite was opened. To enrich the spiritual development of the South campus, a two story chapel was constructed and blessed in 2008 by Bishop Luis Antonio Tagle and Monsignor Josefino Ramirez. Elizabeth Seton School is currently on its Level II Accreditation and is dubbed the School of the Future. The school won the first Excellence in Educational Transformation Award and is considered the most transformative school in the country 〔http://www.mb.com.ph/articles/363745/the-school-thinks-big-and-differently〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Elizabeth Seton School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
