Quezon City Academy is a private secondary school located at 1144 Epifanio Delos Santos Avenue (EDSA), in Quezon City, Philippines. ==History== Established in 1953, it was first known as Bago Bantay Academy, a kamalig-type structure. In its first year of operation, there are only 62 students. Ten years later in 1963, Justice Carmelino Gomez Alvendia, Sr. of the Court of Appeals, offered to buy Bago Bantay Academy in its chronic stage of decay. In its first year of operation with Justice Alvendia, Bago Bantay Academy changed its name to Quezon City Academy. There was only one section per year with a total school population of 89 students. Also in that year, Bago Bantay made a relocation area for squatters from Sampaloc to Intramuros, Manila. However, a big public school was established nearby, the San Francisco High School (formerly Don Mariano Marcos High School), and it became one of the rivals of Quezon City Academy. QCA was receiving minimal patronage from the people it aimed to serve. Justice Alvendia, an educator and an economist, was a visionary. He made renovations in Quezon City Academy until it become one of the famous IT secondary schools in the Philippines. But before that, in 1965, enrolment rose to 132. In the 1980s, the population rises to 2,700 students with almost 450 graduates every year. It is clear that patronage of residents of Bago Bantay, Project 7, Project 8, Sto. Niño, Pag-asa, Project 6, Balintawak, Bagong Barrio, San Francisco del Monte, West Avenue and other nearby areas in Quezon City has been won over by QCA. In the 1997-1998 National Secondary Assessment Test, QCA carded a general average of 98.9%. 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「Quezon City Academy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
