What Colegio de San Juan de Letran Calamba does

Colegio de San Juan de Letran Calamba is a private Catholic educational institution founded in 1979 in Bucal, Calamba City, Laguna, Philippines, operated under the Dominican Province of the Philippines as part of the Letran Dominican network that traces its roots to 1620. The institution serves students from Kinder through Doctoral levels across four business units: Basic Education (K-10), Senior High School (STEM, HUMSS, ABM, GAS, and a Science High School track), Collegiate Schools (Business Administration, Engineering and Architecture, Nursing, Tourism and Hospitality Management, Computer Engineering), and a Graduate School offering Master's and Doctoral programs. It is currently pursuing CHED approval for an MS Nursing program and has obtained CHED RCAT approval for the BS Industrial Engineering ETEEAP application, alongside PACUCOA Level IV accreditation for BS Computer Engineering.

The business model is tuition-driven and recurring, with revenue generated per academic year from Basic Education, Senior High School, College, and Graduate School enrollments, supplemented by miscellaneous fees and periodic Tuition and Other Fees Increases (TOFI). Admissions are managed directly through the campus Admissions Office and Registrar's Department, with an online application process and ongoing enrollment across all levels. Ancillary revenue is generated through micro-credentialing programs, library services, and community events (e.g., Run Hueknighted, Arriba Fest). The institution supplements its core offering with academic support services including a digital library stack (OPAC, EBSCOhost, Science Direct, ProQuest, Emerald, iGLibrary), a Research Department with institutional and student research units, and an AI-powered admissions chatbot (KnightBot). Student outcomes are competitive: 100% passing rates were achieved in the November 2025 Nursing Licensure Examination, the November 2025 Secondary Education Licensure Examination, and the March 2026 Licensure Exam for Teachers, together with strong results in regional taekwondo, national linguistics, and international Vedic Mathematics competitions.

The institution maintains international linkages with universities across Asia (Nanzan University Japan, Hungkuang University and Ming Chuan University Taiwan, INTI International University Malaysia, HFSE International School Singapore, Universitas Bhinneka Nusantara Indonesia, Universitas Katolik Santo Agustinus Hippo Indonesia) and a virtual exchange with Buckil Elementary School in South Korea. It was elected Vice President of the Network of CALABARZON Educational Institutions (NOCEI) in January 2025, representing 41 regional higher education institutions. Academic leadership is led by Rev. Fr. Roman L. Santos, O.P. (Rector and President), with Dr. Floricon V. Encabo as Vice President for Academics and Dr. Ma. Xenia Z. Bitera as Director of Research, Quality Management, and Planning. Strategic industry partnerships include The Medical City South Luzon, Hytec Power Inc., the British Council, and The De La Vega Foundation, supporting healthcare education, engineering, employability, and inclusive education initiatives.
