A Brief History

 

The International School for Better Beginnings opened its doors to the young learners of Lucena City in June, 1997 through the initiative of Mrs. Elizabeth Reyes Enverga. The school began with a single building, which was located in a relatively uninhabited part of Lucena City.  

After its first school year, the number of students nearly tripled the next school year and a new building was erected to accommodate the growing population and the new Elementary School Department, which steadily developed over time. On its fifth year ISBB had a complete Elementary School, with the High School following soon after.

At present, ISBB stands as one of the premier educational institutions in Lucena City, with alumni who have gone on to study in the Philippines’ best universities. It labors to create well-rounded students, and bring about a positive change, not just to its immediate vicinity, but to the world at large.
