Our mission and legacy

St. Francis of Assisi Montessori School of Cainta—​SFAMSC (pronounced “spam-see”)—​is a private preschool, grade school, and high school in Cainta, Rizal, Philippines. Guided by the teachings of Christ and the example of our patron, St. Francis of Assisi, we uphold the motto Cura Personalis—​“care for the whole person.” We nurture the whole child—intellectually, socially, and spiritually. We aren't just a school; we are a family-oriented learning community where every student is known by name, supported, and loved.

We are a small learning community with big school results

At St. Francis of Assisi Montessori School of Cainta, At SFAMSC, we believe that education should be personal. As a non-profit institution, we are not driven by bottom lines, but by student outcomes. Every peso is reinvested in our teachers and facilities to ensure our curriculum remains on par with that of the Philippines' most prestigious private schools.
