St. Scholastica's College

What St. Scholastica's College does

St. Scholastica's College Manila is a private Catholic Benedictine educational institution founded on December 3, 1906 by five German Sisters of the Missionary Benedictine Sisters of Tutzing, headquartered at 2560 Leon Guinto Street, Malate, Manila. The institution operates a continuous educational ecosystem spanning Pre-Kinder, Kindergarten, Grade School (Grades 1-6), Junior and Senior High School, Night Secondary School, College (comprising the Schools of Music, Arts and Sciences, Business and Accountancy, Education, Nursing, and Hotel, Leisure and Restaurant Management), and a Graduate School offering MA Psychology and Master of Music in Music Education. It is governed by the Missionary Benedictine Sisters under the motto 'Ora et Labora' (Prayer and Work), with 258 Lay Mission Partners supporting operations and 66 years of continuous PAASCU accreditation.

The underlying technology and instructional platform consist of the proprietary MYSSC-IS student information system providing separate portals for Basic Education and College/Graduate students along with faculty, HRIS, and clearance portals, plus instructional methodologies anchored in the 5E Instructional Model (Blended Learning) and Singapore Math. Operational systems include OrangeApps-powered online application portals for Basic Education and College, with admissions, registrar, and student life functions accessible through ssc.edu.ph. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via on-campus admissions in Manila and online self-serve application portals, with industry partnerships supporting Work-Integrated Education pipelines (e.g., Makati Medical Center for Nursing; Manila Hotel, Okada, Grand Hyatt, Hilton, and Ascott for Hospitality).

The business model is tuition-driven and recurring, structured as annual academic-year billing across the educational units, with pricing not publicly disclosed and prospective students directed to inquire directly. Revenue concentration risk is structurally low, as the customer base is a distributed population of individual student families across multiple program levels. Scholarships and a free Night Secondary School program (since 1970) for economically-challenged students indicate a subsidized social-mission component alongside the tuition-revenue base. The institution is preparing to celebrate its 120th anniversary in 2026.
