Schola de Vita (School of Life) started in 1999 as Southwood Integrated School under the management of Mr. Ikuo Nishino and Mrs. Gina Nishino. Instrumental in the change from Southwood Integrated School to Schola de Vita in 2006, was the change of the school’s mission-vision towards excellence and Christian service. This was the result of the management’s decision spearheaded by the Principal, Mr. Pablito O. Tura.

In 2011, Schola de Vita was turned over to the new management with Ms. Vilma Aquino and Mr. Rocky Aquino as the new school owners, spearheaded by the Directress, Ms. Meg Aquino-Cuenca and by the Principal, Mr. Pablito Tura.

The new team is dedicated and committed to provide quality education to each and every student. The beginning of the school year 2011 – 2012, under its new management, marked a turning point in the school’s remarkable growth.
