Brief History

In 1921, the first year high school course was offered. By 1938, the first group of Louisians graduated from the secondary course.

The school was temporarily closed during the outbreak of the war in 1941. During the Liberation Period, it remained closed because it was used as a hospital and refugee center. In 1946, the school started to admit students again and from the ruins of war, slowly picked up its energy and pace. At that time, a total of 198 students enrolled.

For the past years, the school adopted the basic concept of developing the personnel, studentry, administration, and the community. To have a more integrated and holistic approach to the program, the school population is guided with its watchwords: pray, play, study, serve and work together. From each of the school clubs, to the homeroom classes, to the teachers and non- teaching staff, all have formulated their own program of development along these guidelines.

The university also has a Campus Ministry that focuses on helping people grow in their faith and have a deeper relationship with Jesus.

The CICM Campus Ministry focuses on Christian formation, which means helping people at the university grow in their faith and have a deeper relationship with Jesus. The Campus Ministry is responsible for three main areas: the Ministry of the Word, which includes evangelization, catechesis (teaching about the Christian faith), guidance, and education; the Ministry of worship; and the Ministry of healing. Another goal of the Campus Ministry is to create a "living encounter with Jesus" on campus through these different ministries. The Campus Ministry works to achieve this goal by collaborating with school administrators, faculty, students, and other stakeholders and by following the guidance of the Office of the Vice President for Mission and Identity.
