Our Lady of Peace School (OLPS) is a Cathedral School founded in 1972 by Msgr. Vicente Fernandez who invited the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Paul of Chartres to administer the school. Through the years of its existence, OLPS has taken to itself the spiritual, moral, social, intellectual, and emotional development of its clientele, the STUDENT. The 50 years of existence is a concrete proof of its commitment ot service and involvement in growth and development of the youth of Antipolo.
Precisely because the school endeavors to answer the needs of a society characterized by depersonalization and a mass production mentality which so easily result from scientific and technological developments, OLPS develops into an authenticity formational school, reducing such risks to a minimum. It develops persons who are responsible and inner-directed, capable of choosing freely in conformity with their conscience.
We look forward to your stay.
