Tech school STI Education Systems Holdings Inc. (STI ESH) inaugurated last Jan. 20, 2015 its recently completed STI Academic Center Batangas, which was built at over P250 million.
The new facility, which has three floors, sits on a 5,621-square meter property along Kumintang Ibaba in Batangas City. It features air-conditioned classrooms equipped with LCD projectors and LED lightning systems.
The library is filled with updated research materials and offers Internet and WiFi connection to researchers. Its industry-grade simulation laboratories, meanwhile, provides a modern and conducive learning environment for its students.
Although new campus has already started holding classes last June, it can accommodate up to 1,500 students who can take courses in information and communications technology, business and management, tourism and hospitality management, arts and sciences, and engineering.
It is also one of the pioneer senior high schools nationwide with permit from the Department of Education to provide quality education to Grades 11 and 12 students.
?As we continue to grow our reach and improve our campuses nationwide, we are also building stronger foundations in education for those who are entrusting their future to us,? said STI ESH chief executive officer Monico V. Jacob.
?We believe that as we strive to continually improve the quality of education we have in STI, our commitment to nurture the growth of our students to become competent and responsible members of society remains our ultimate priority.
?This is also why the whole STI community is always driven to thrive for academic excellence and ensuring that our facilities, our campuses will serve as one of the important tools that will help us deliver world-class education to our students. From the facilities, to the curriculum, and to the services that we provide, we are committed in finding better ways to bridge the gap between graduates and the requirements of industries in various fields,? Jacob added.
The STI Academic Center Batangas is the first of the four STI Academic Centers to be publicly introduced in the first quarter of this year, including those in Calamba, Cubao, and Lucena.
The successful operations of STI Academic Centers in Global City, Naga, Fairview, Alabang, Novaliches, Malolos, Ortigas-Cainta, and Caloocan have led the company to steadily take the growth of the STI network across the country.
STI ESH also operates iAcademy, a college that provides specialized and industry-based information and communications degree programs, and the prestigious West Negros University (WNU) in Bacolod City.
iAcademy has also inaugurated its own eight-floor innovation center in Makati City, investing on high-end facilities such as modern technology and equipment in classrooms, a Cintiq laboratory for design students, computer laboratories, auditorium, and customized student lounge.
WNU, since STI ESH?s takeover in 2013, has started improvements of its fa?ade, school facilities, and equipment in an effort to support its rich heritage by ensuring that the quality education of the university will remain globally competitive.
