[edit] History

San Sebastian College - Recoletos de Cavite was founded in 1966, following the Recollect Father's work in the City of Cavite. Recollect Convents and Churches were established in the Port Town of Cavite as early as 1616 as part of the observance of St. Augustine's Rule.

Under the school's first year of operation, the campus had one building being shared by 281 students, both in the High School and College departments and the Fathers, as their residence. The 1970's saw the population growth of the College and in 1977, a four-storey right wing extension was built to meet the growing demand.

The building featured a chapel, an auditorium. In 1983, the Father's moved out from the Campus to a once small gymnasium at the back of the Campus to enable students to use more of the building's amenities.

In 1995, the St. Ezekiel Moreno building was built. The five-story building was the site of the New High School and College Libraries, Laboratories (Computer, Criminology, Mass Communications) and a Small Gymnasium located at the fifth floor.

An annex building, St. Joseph Obrero, was constructed months after the inauguration to further accommodate the growing student population. It featured an Instructional Media Center, a conference room at the penthouse. In 2001, another building, Our Lady of Consolation, was inaugurated which made additional Engineering laboratories, offices and more classrooms.

In 2001, the school was able to purchase a territory near Samonte Park in the Cañacao District to the site of the Future Grade School and High School Campus. In August 2004, the Fourth Centennial Recoletos Gymnasium was inaugurated and in the school year 2006-2007, the High School Department moved to the new campus and a Pre-School and Grade School Department opened to the public.

[edit] Recollect Schools in the Philippines

As part of Recollect School tradition, selected students go to an annual event called SCORES or the Student Congress of Recollect Schools in the Philippines. Hosting of the event rotates among five schools, CST-R, SSC-R de Cavite, SSC-R de Manila, UNO-R Bacolod, and USJ-R and schools who do not host send representatives. Such event is held to be able to forge bonds and establish relationships among students from different Recollect schools in the country.
