History
Aguinaldo International School Manila was established in June 1999 under the name Emilio Aguinaldo College Science High School (EAC-SHS), focusing on nurturing the talents of gifted students. With an initial enrollment of just 11 students, the school has since grown steadily and now boasts a population of approximately 321 students.
Dr. Mercedes T. Hernandez served as the founding principal, succeeded by Mrs. Hilaria G. Sus in the second year and Ms. Lilian G. Alfonso in the third year of operation. The Department of Education officially recognized EAC-SHS on September 20, 2004. During the period from November 2004 to June 2008, Principal Eloisa E Olivera provided leadership to the school.
In June 2008, Engineer Lileth Cuaresma assumed the role of head teacher, coinciding with the appointment of a newly appointed superintendent from New Zealand, Mr. Keith Jones. Under Mr. Jones's leadership, the school underwent a transformation, leading to its renaming as Aguinaldo International School. This marked the beginning of a process aimed at modernizing facilities and internationalizing the curriculum and teaching methodologies, resulting in the addition of students from approximately 10 different nationalities over the past three years.
In July 2011, Mr. Timothy Boulton, hailing from Canada, was appointed as superintendent, working alongside Engineer Lileth Cuaresma, who continued to serve as principal. In 2014, Aguinaldo International School introduced the Special Education Program, further expanding its commitment to inclusivity and diversity. Additionally, in 2016, the school launched the Senior High School General Academic Strand Program, enriching the educational opportunities available to its students.
