Our Roots

School History

Cavite School of Life is an educational institution founded by two visionary men - Mr. Ernesto V. Yu and Rev. Fr. Paul d. De Leon.

Mr. Yu is a charismatic and stirring man who rose up from the ashes of hard living by his own diligence and steadfastness, qualities that made him loved and respected by his family and friends. His very life proves that classroom learning is not enough to equip one in leading a quality life – relevant values do.

Rev. De Leon was once struck by a line he read in a book, “Non scholae sed vitae discimus” which means “We learn not for school but for life,” vowed that someday he will put these words to life. The words left a flaming mark in him throughout the years and so the birth of Cavite School of Life.

Together with Mr. Yu’s supportive partner in life, Ms. Elsie O. Yu as the Board Treasurer and his daughter, Ms. Maybelle O. Yu as the Board Secretary and Finance Officer, they form the school’s Board of Directors.

In 2009, Cavite School of Life - Dasmariñas Campus was established.

Our Philosophy

The school’s motto, “Non scholae sed vitae discimus” translated as “We learn lot for school but for life”, holds the very essence of the school in shaping the future of our society – our children.

Cavite School of Life strongly believes that every child is a gift of life from the Heavenly Father through Jesus Christ. He is a gift who is lovingly nurtured and guided, and ardent with God-inspired and steadfast values, with substantive and competitive intelligence that will ensure him to be a God-loving, productive, patriotic, excellent and responsible member of the society.

Our Mission

Guided by the Philosophy and Vision, Cavite School of Life commits to:

Christian Dimension: Develop a child who believes in and accepts Jesus Christ as the core of his existence and lives the tradition of Christ’s teachings in his personal, social and professional life for the service of God and his fellowmen.

Affective Dimension: Develop the child’s ability to assess and imbibe value-laden principles that will guide and lead him to a quality life.
