Philippine Institute of Quezon City

What Philippine Institute of Quezon City does

The Philippine Institute of Quezon City (PIQC), also known as 計順市菲華中學, is a private non-profit K-12 educational institution founded in 1964 by Mr. Alfredo Matti, operating from a single headquarters campus at 62 Kitanlad St., Banawe, Quezon City, Philippines. The school delivers a four-level educational pathway — Preschool, Grade School, Junior High School, and Senior High School — with an integrated bilingual curriculum spanning English, Filipino, and Chinese, the latter handled by a dedicated Chinese Department. Its core products include standard K-12 academic programs (English, Science, Mathematics, Filipino, Social Studies, MAPEH and Computer), Specialized STEM offerings (robotics with Lego Mindstorms EV3, hydroponics, science laboratories), the E化教學 (e-digital) classroom / Hyflex hybrid learning environment, and a Senior High School program with ABM, STEM, and TVL tracks including mandatory work immersion with QC LGU and corporate partners.

PIQC's business model is tuition-based subscription recurring revenue, with K-12 students enrolling directly through the school's Registrar's Office; fees are not publicly disclosed. The school is governed by a Board of Trustees chaired by Mr. Co Kin Hung, with Mrs. Lee Shu Hwei (李淑慧) as Principal/School Directress, supported by four Assistant Principals and department supervisors. It serves approximately 1,000–1,800 students based on typical teacher-student ratios given its 72 reported employees, drawn primarily from Filipino-Chinese families in Quezon City seeking integrated bilingual education. Distribution is single-channel and direct (on-campus), with marketing via the school's website, Facebook, and Twitter, supported by alumni and community referrals. The institution generates supplementary non-tuition resources through active alumni donations, partnership-sponsored educational tours, and donated materials from Chinese government cultural offices. It holds ACSCU-ACI Level II Re-Accreditation (February 2024) covering Preschool, Elementary, and Junior High School programs.
