The
STI Education Services Group, Inc. (STI ESG) gears up for the influx of college
freshmen in school year 2018-19 by continuing the network’s expansion plan of
putting up new campuses in key locations nationwide.
Adding
to the roster of soon-to-rise prime hubs for academic excellence, STI broke
ground for two Academic Centers in Sta. Mesa, Manila and San Jose del Monte
City, Bulacan on May 23, 2017 in its goal to make real life education more
accessible to the Filipino youth.
With
an estimated value of P655M, the 10-storey STI Academic Center Sta. Mesa will
stand on a 4,252-square-meter property along P. Sanchez Street, Sta. Mesa in
Metro Manila and can accommodate 10,000 senior high school and college
students.
On
the other hand, the nine-storey STI Academic Center San Jose del Monte can
house 6,000 students and has an allotted budget of P518M. It will rise on a
4,178-square-meter lot area at the Altaraza Town Center, a 109-hectare master
planned urban community of the Ayala Land, located in Quirino Highway, San Jose
del Monte City, Bulacan.
“Our
expansion strategy reflects our strong commitment to education. Just like what
we have done in the past, we are building new academic centers to transfer
existing schools to bigger and better facilities as part of our approach to
holistic education,” said STI President and COO Peter K. Fernandez.
The
new campuses will be operational by next school year and will be equipped with
state-of-the-art facilities including air-conditioned classrooms with flat
screen TVs, industry-grade laboratories, simulation rooms, up-to-date
libraries, and sports facilities, among others.
Both
campuses will also feature energy-saving LED lights, a rainwater harvesting
system, and a sewage treatment plant that recycles used water by discharging
treated wastewater.
Fernandez noted that STI ESG decided to shift its
focus to a more organic expansion by continuously improving the facilities as
well as the delivery of education for its students through highly conducive
learning environments.
Just recently, STI began construction of new campuses
in Tanauan, Lipa, and Pasay-EDSA and will break ground soon in Davao which will
be completed by June 2018.
True to its promise of innovative and relevant
education, STI also embarked on the senior high school program that develops college-ready,
job-ready, and life-ready individuals. Likewise, it shifted to an outcome-based
education curriculum (OBE) to prepare students for the 21st century.

on August 21, 1983 as a computer training center with two branches, STI now has
over 76 campuses with diversified programs in Information Technology,
Hospitality and Tourism Management, Arts and Sciences, Engineering, Business
and Management, and Senior High School.
