APEC Schools is a chain of private high schools based in the Philippines. APEC Schools currently has branches across Metro Manila and Calabarzon regions.[1]
History
[edit]APEC Schools was established in 2013 through a partnership between Ayala Corporation and Pearson's Affordable Learning Fund.[2][3] APEC Schools are managed under the Affordable Private Education Center (APEC) Inc., a joint venture between the two entities.[4] The first APEC Schools branch was opened within the Emilio Aguinaldo College campus in Manila in July 2013.[5] APEC Schools are touted as a low-cost option for secondary education by its proponents.[5][6][7]
The Ayala Corporation and House of Investments of the Yuchengco Group had a merger of their education operations in 2019 with Yuchengco Group's iPeople Inc. being the surviving entity. APEC Schools is among the several schools which became under iPeople.[8]
In 2023, the merger of APEC Schools' operating entity APEC Inc. with the National Teachers College was approved.[9] The merger was implemented the following year.[10]
