History

SSIS, originally Stonyhurst School, (lacking the later mentioned international title given) was founded in 1996 offering only a pre-school program and practicing in an English speaking environment. The name a reference to Stonyhurst College in the UK, the school where Peter P. Laurel, the founder of the school, studied.

In 1997, the grade school department opened with Integrated Program, a developmental model for elementary schools, designed to better meet the challenges of the 21st century. This allowed Stonyhurst School to enroll more and older students. Which gave the school a reason to expand its grounds and start constructing new school facilities.

In 2005, Stonyhurst was granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, upon recommendation of the Department of Education, the international status thus the current name, Stonyhurst International School. The year after, it merged with a different large International School in the Philippines, Southville International School and Colleges, which helped allow the school to build its second campus in Lipa City, The Philippines.

In 2009, The Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) granted Stonyhurst Southville International School full accreditation.

In 2017, the school added robotics in its pre-school, grade school, and high school curriculum [2] and integrated a robotics lab making use of robotic programs involving Hexbots and Arduino.
