In 1907, the CICM Missionaries arrived
in the Philippines, mandated by the Holy See to evangelize the northern part of
the country. Pretty soon, it became apparent that Baguio, then a small mountain
village resort in the province of Benguet, around two hundred and fifty
kilometers north of Manila, will be pivotal for the region. With an elevation
of at least 1,500 meters above sea level, Baguio is a natural gateway to and from
the Cordillera mountain range, which traverses the
Mountain Provinces (Montañosa), the home of numerous indigenous tribes.
Thus it was that in 1911, Rev Fr
Séraphin Devesse, CICM, founded a one-room elementary school in Baguio for ten
local boys. From these humble origins, Saint Louis School began.
In 1915, the intermediate grades and a
trade school were started under the guidance of Fr. Florimond Carlu, CICM.
In 1921, the high school was
inaugurated.
In 1952, college-level courses in the
Liberal Arts and Commerce were offered, and Saint Louis College had its first
Rector. Other courses and further developments soon followed, under the
guidance of the CICM Rectors/Presidents.
In 1955, the graduate-level programs of
Saint Louis College were granted recognition, but the real turning point came
on 13 May 1963, when Saint Louis College was conferred University status by the
Philippine Government.
From the one-room Saint Louis School
for ten boys in 1911, Saint Louis University has grown to a four-campus
University with more than thirty buildings catering to more than thirty
thousand students.
Saint Louis University Basic Education
School is the unification of the basic education school units of Saint Louis
University, a private, Roman Catholic, CICM university located in Baguio City,
Philippines. The high school department was originally
located at the Gonzaga campus but has since been moved to the Navy Base campus
since early 2000s. On the other hand,
the elementary department is located at the Gonzaga Campus on General Luna
Road.

Department
The Basic Education School - Laboratory
Elementary Department (SLU BEdS - Elementary Department) is an elementary
school that is a part of Saint Louis University. It was founded in 1911 and had been offering a range of classes from Kindergarten
to Sixth Grade to students in the local community since 1915. The
school is located on the Gonzaga Campus of Saint Louis University, named after
Saint Aloysius de Gonzaga, a Jesuit saint known for his work with young people
and his dedication to education.
Over the years, the Elementary
Department has grown and developed, offering education to students in the local
community.
Junior
High Department
The Junior High Department of Saint
Louis University is a coeducational school for students at the junior high
level. It was originally established in 1921 as the Saint
Louis University Boys' High School and was only for male students. The school's
first graduates completed their studies in 1929. In 2003, the school became coeducational, accepting male and female
students.
The Junior High Department is located
at the Navy Base campus, along with the Senior High Department. The two
departments were formerly separately administered but are now unified due to
the merging of the Elementary and High School departments. This separation was
implemented following the implementation of the K-12
program in the Philippines, which added two years to the country's basic
education system.
As a coeducational junior high school,
the Junior High Department at SLU offers various academic and extracurricular
programs and activities to help students grow and learn.
Senior
High Department
The Senior High Department at Saint
Louis University is a coeducational school for students in senior high. It was

Base campus, along with the Junior High Department.
