Quezon City Academy is a private secondary school in Quezon City, Philippines.
Established in 1953, "Quezon City Academy (QCA)" was originally known as the "Bago Bantay High School".
In 1963, Justice Carmelino Gomez Alvendia, Sr. (Court of Appeals) bought "Bago Bantay High School" in chronic decay. In its first year of operation, "Bago Bantay High School" changed its name to "Quezon City Academy". In that same year, the Bago Bantay authorities made a relocation area for squatters from Sampaloc to Intramuros, Manila. A competitive public school, the San Francisco High School (formerly Don Mariano Marcos High School) was established nearby. QCA was receiving minimal patronage from the people it aimed to serve.
Justice Alvendia made renovations to QCA until it became one of the most notable IT secondary schools in the Philippines.[ citation needed ] In 1965 enrolment rose to 132.
