Moving 40RWARD: STI College's commitment to nurturing future-ready students

MANILA, Philippines — In the ever-evolving landscape of education, STI College stands as a testament to the power of vision, innovation, and unwavering commitment.

Over the span of four decades, what started as a computer programming school has become one of the largest networks of schools in the Philippines, home to bright and promising students, achievers, and dedicated educators who are committed to impart knowledge and nurture individuals to become competent and responsible members of society.

As STI College celebrates its 40th anniversary, the institution takes a moment to reflect on its inspiring journey and anticipate the promising road ahead as the institution moves 40RWARD (forward).

A vision that transformed education

Established on August 21, 1983, the founders of the institution embarked on a visionary mission to bridge the gap between education and the IT industry. They recognized the need to equip Filipino students with globally competitive computer skills that would seamlessly integrate them into the workforce. This visionary spirit led to the establishment of the Systems Technology Institute (now known as STI College), and over the years, it has consistently embraced its core commitment to quality and real-life education.

Fast forward to today, STI College has evolved into a pioneering institution with 63 campuses offering courses and programs beyond IT education and nurturing more than 100,000 students nationwide. This evolution hasn't been solely marked by growth in numbers; it's a growth in impact. Graduates of STI College aren't just academically prepared; they're job-ready, life-ready, and future-ready.

"Our journey as an educational institution is anchored in our commitment to empower the Filipino youth with quality and holistic education. We’ll continue to champion for academic excellence as well as creating a learning environment that provides students with opportunities to explore their passions and interests, enabling them to become well-rounded and future-ready individuals,” said Peter K.
