Casa Del Niño Montessori & Science High School

What Casa Del Niño Montessori & Science High School does

Casa Del Niño Schools System, Inc. (CDNSSI) is a private K-12 educational institution founded in 1985 by Dr. Rosario G. Acierto and headquartered in San Pedro, Laguna, Philippines. The institution operates seven campuses across two provinces — Laguna (San Pedro, Calamba, Biñan, Sta Rosa) and Isabela (Roxas, Ilagan) — offering a vertically integrated educational program spanning Montessori Pre-School through Senior High School with a STEM-focused curriculum. The school serves Filipino families seeking private education with an explicit emphasis on Science-Math preparation, character formation, and college readiness, including international higher education pathways via a Japan University Examination (JPUE) partnership with Kagawa, Chiba, and Yamagata Universities.

The institution's core product is its education service, supplemented by a proprietary distance-learning platform called ExCEL (Expanded Casan E-Learning) that was deployed during the COVID-19 pandemic for SY 2020-2021 to deliver online classes across all branches. Curriculum is differentiated through partnerships with Autodesk (Fusion 360 CAD/CAM software for Senior High School), Scholastic Philippines (reading programs), and Quipper (math competition/learning platform). The school has demonstrated competitive academic performance through regional and national wins including National Mathscore Champions 2018, multiple Sci-Math Interschool Challenge 1st Runner-Up finishes, and CEM aptitude topnotchers.

The business model is subscription/recurring tuition-based, with annual billing for each of the four educational levels (Pre-School, Elementary, Junior High, Senior High School). Revenue is generated through direct campus enrollment at each branch location, with online payment supported through a Dragonpay payment gateway partnership. Distribution is purely domestic within the Philippines, with no evidence of international student enrollment. The institution is family-controlled, with the founding Acierto family occupying President (Dr. Rosario G. Acierto), Executive Vice President (Dr. Mark G. Acierto), and CEO (Dr. Farah Acierto-Cabanban) positions, and no external investment or parent company disclosed. Headcount is 51-100 employees.
