Our Founders
Ingenium School in Marikina is dedicated solely to the quality basic education of the young.
From its buildings and facilities to its curriculum, policies, and programs, the focus is the student. It’s a personal mission of the founders who are hands-on to guide the school to its vision and mission: nation-building for a better Philippines.
At Ingenium, every single day, we build the future in the present. To arouse the curiosity to learn. To strengthen the stamina to search. To celebrate the joy of success. To work and laugh with others. To create the self-confidence and self-responsibility that are the hallmark of authentic leaders: this why Ingenium exists: to form the young.
