San Beda College Alabang
San Beda College Alabang (Spanish: Colegio de San Beda de Alabang; Filipino: Dalubhasaang San Beda Alabang) is a private, Catholic basic and higher education institution run by the Benedictine monks in Cupang, Muntinlupa, Metro Manila, Philippines.
Restiveness marked the late 1960s and the early 1970s, which led to the decision by the Benedictine monks to establish another campus outside Manila. They decided on Alabang in Muntinlupa as the site of the new campus. Construction of school buildings began in 1972 on a nine-and-a-half-hectare lot inside the Alabang Hills Village. On July 10, 1972, San Beda College Alabang opened its doors to 78 preschool boys and girls. It began as a basic co-educational school and was originally named the Benedictine Abbey School (BAS). Fr. Roberto de Jesus, OSB, who was the first Rector, supervised the growing years of the new institution. BAS opened its high school department in 1977.
Both elementary and high school departments later gained accreditation from the Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges and Universities (PAASCU).
Fr. Bellarmine R. Baltasar, OSB, who served as Rector for almost a decade, established the tertiary level which opened on the Benedictines' centennial anniversary in the Philippines. The school was renamed St. Benedict College on June 5, 1995. Along with this came the construction of the Fr. Bellarmine Baltasar Gym (then St. Benedict College Gym).
Under the leadership of Fr. Tarcisio H. Narciso, OSB, Rector, the college department initially offered mostly business-oriented courses. The department welcomed 208 students and 15 faculty members recruited from other colleges and universities and from the roster of the San Beda University high school and grade school faculty. In the succeeding years, the college opened additional courses that catered to the arts, humanities and other sciences. St. Bede Hall (the college building) was constructed in March 1996 and inaugurated on July 1, 1997, in time for the institution’s silver jubilee.
In 2001, Fr. Aloysius A. Maranan, OSB, Rector and concurrent Dean, renamed the college department the "College of Arts & Sciences." He focused on revitalizing the CAS through extensive operational and academic policies, curriculum adjustments, administrator overhauls and faculty development.
On September 7, 2004, after 32 years since its establishment, the school made the decision to adopt the secondary name of the institution as its official name; San Beda College Alabang. Fr. Anscar Chupungco, OSB, Rector-President led the decision in response to the growing demand of the institute's stakeholders.
Fr. Chupungco led the increase of higher education programs offered by the school. He opened a School of Law in 2005. However, the Law school was not an academic unit of The San Beda College as it was an extension of the School of Law of San Beda University Manila. Eventually in 2009, the Law School became part of San Beda College.
