Colegio del Sagrado Corazon de Jesus (CSCJ) came into existence when the Daughters of Charity from Colegio de San Jose extended their educational services to little boys and girls in Kindergarten in a rented room in Iznart Street. To this original kindergarten school was added the grade school and later the high school. Courses in commerce and Economics were also offered besides the general academic course in General Hughes Street. It was on September 14, 1917 when “Sagrado” now CSCJ was formally recognized as a school when the Securities and Exchange Commission approved officially its by-laws and constitution.
Under the Japanese regime, Sagrado offered grade school and high school programs. The Graduate School in Education started in 1945. the Conservatory of Music, the first of South of Manila, opened soon after. Between 1945 and 1975, all the courses being offered after the war received recognition from the Department of Education. To these were courses added such courses as Social Work, Nutrition, and Hotel and Restaurant Management to meet the needs of the country for social workers, nutritionists and hotel and restaurant managers.
June 1972 marked the re-orientation of the educational thrusts of Colegio del Sagrado Corazon de Jesus. The high school department blazed the trail towards voluntary accreditation in 1975 making it the first DC school to be accredited by PAASCU. The grade school followed suit when in 1979, it obtained PAASCU accreditation making it the first grade school to be accredited in Western Visayas. The college department started its thrusts for quality education when in 1983, PAASCU nominated Sagrado to be one of the pilot colleges for testing the validity of the common standards for accrediting higher education by the Federation of Accrediting Agencies in the Philippines (FAAP), a self-survey using the FAAP Manual of accreditation of these three programs in August 1986.
In 1986, the grade school and high school were merged into the Basic Education Department to provide better articulation between the two programs. Sagrado also turned co-educational by admitting male students in the Basic Education Department and in the College Department. School year 1994-1995 is marked with the implementation of the integrated DC school system in which Colegio del Sagrado Corazon de Jesus and Colegio de San Jose share one president. In 2003 – 2004, the St. Louise de Marillac School of Miag-ao was included in the integrated administration. This innovation creates a more competent synergy and creative fusion of each school’s human potentials and resources, physical plant, materials, policies, programs and projects for maximum apostolic and educational impact.
Colegio del Sagrado Corazon de Jesus, under the servant-leadership of the Integrated Administration President, Sr. Ma. Lourdes S. Verzosa, D.C. has reinvented itself by embracing the latest creative and empowering breakthroughs such as Computer Assisted Instruction, the Multiple Intelligences Approach, Mandarin Education, the Ballet School, Sagrado Alternative Evening School (SAES), the Villa Sagrado HRM Practicum Center and others. Sagrado has also reclaimed its niche as the center of arts in Iloilo City by presenting onstage Dalagang Bukid, The King and I, Flower Drum Song, Beauty and the Beast, Juanita Cruz which fused film and theatre for the first time on Philippine stage, and Aladdin from 2000 – 2005. Presently showing a multimedia production, The Lion King of Priderock.
After 90 years, Sagrado has emerged vibrant and progressive, zestful in its dreams of a NEW SAGRADO celebrating the incomparable wealth of the Sagradista talent. Sagrado stands tall as it doggedly pursues to face the challenges posed by the contemporary DC Missionary thrust and priorities as called for by its founders, St. Vincent de Paul and St. Louise de Marillac.
In the face of worldwide imperatives of new times, new paradigms and new considerations, Sagrado responded with a decisive focus on creative explorations in program and governance structures, systems revolution stretching the capacities of the new multidisciplinary person, seeing passion for excellence driven by the desire to grown and for want of the best and joyful relationships in genuine community building through multiculturalism, interfaith and multi-sectoral communion.
