Core Values
History
In the summer of 1999, a group of Korean pastors approached Mrs. Teresita Suiza to convince her in putting up a Christian school where she was designated as the School Administratorand eventually its founder.
The first set of Filipino teachers who were interviewed by Engr. Federico Davila and who were finally selected started the school year 1999-2000. The school was named Hope Christian School of Fairview located at Lyric Street , West Fairview. After several months, the Korean pastors left the management of the school to Mrs. Suiza who faced the enormous challenge and responsibility to continue the operation and eventual survival of the school.
The initial 100 students from Pre-school to Fourth Year High School survived the school year 1999-2000, that enabled pre-schoolers, grade six pupils and fourth year high school students to graduate.
School year 2000- 2001 was a new beginning as classes were held in a new campus at #2 Iris Street, West Fairview. The former townhouses of TS Construction were reconfigured and renovated into classrooms to accommodate classes for different grade levels. In the next school year, the school was renamed TD &S Hope Christian Academy. The school population steadily increased from 150 to over 700 from SY 2001 to 2016. During this period the school successfully trained students to compete in Mathematics, Science, English, Music and Sports both locally and internationally under the able leadership of Dr. Eleanor L. Pedro. Many of its graduates are now lawyers, doctors, nurses, teachers, engineers and sports coaches. Every school year many of its graduates passed the enrance exams of Quezon City Science High School, University of the Philippines, University of Santo Tomas, Far Eastern University, Ateneo de Manila University, Miriam College and De La Salle University.
For over a period of ten years the school was managed by its President Sir Dryan S. Tria, Mrs. Suiza’s only son. Sir Santos Ignacio also helped in managing the school. At present Sir Tria is the Chairman of the Board and his wife, Cyndy C. Tria is the School President. Lastly, Sir Melvin Soriano is the current school principal.
In 2018 the school was renamed Hope Integrated School with a new thrust to strengthen its academic and spiritual offerings for its students. The school years 2019 to 2021 offered a new challenge to the school as it embarked on online mode, limited face-to-face learning and other forms of blended learning due to the conditions brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Hope Integrated School will go on fulfilling its mission to provide a holistic Christian Education for the glory of God.
