SLU stands for Saint Louis University. It has three divisions (lol division ... I am not sure what is the proper term for this). The first is the Saint Louis University Laboratory Elementary School, second is the Saint Louis University Laboratory High School, and last but not the least is the Saint Louis University (the main). And to make this blog different, this blog will only contain the history and some additional information about the SLU.
| Brief History |
| In 1907, the CICM Missionaries arrived in the Philippines, mandated by the Holy See to evangelize the northern part of the country. Pretty soon, it became apparent that Baguio, then a small mountain village resort in the province of Benguet, around two hundred and fifty kilometers north of Manila, will be pivotal for the region. With an elevation of at least 1,500 meters above sea level, Baguio is a natural gateway to and from the Cordillera mountain range, which traverses the Mountain Provinces (Montañosa), the home of numerous indigenous tribes.  Thus it was that in 1911, Rev Fr Séraphin Devesse, CICM, founded a one-room elementary school in Baguio for ten local boys. From these humble origins, Saint Louis School began . In 1915, the intermediate grades and a trade school were started under the guidance of Florimond Carlu. In 1921, the high school was inaugurated. In 1952, college-level courses in the Liberal Arts and Commerce were offered, and Saint Louis College had its first Rector. Other courses and further developments soon followed, under the guidance of the following Rectors/Presidents-
In 1955, the graduate-level programs of Saint Louis College were granted recognition, but the real turning point came on 13 May 1963, when Saint Louis College was conferred University status by the Philippine Government. From the one-room Saint Louis School for ten boys in 1911, Saint Louis University has grown to a four campus University with more than thirty buildings catering to more than thirty thousand students. |

Sapientia aedificat, that is, "wisdom builds" or "knowledge edifies," is the motto of Saint Louis University. Impelled by this profound human truth, SLU has faithfully carried out its avowed educational mission since its foundation in 1911. As a Christian institution of higher learning, SLU has, through the years, formed and shaped young people who are imbued with Christian spirit and are competent, creative and socially involved.
At present, Saint Louis University has nine colleges offering graduate and undergraduate programs in pursuit of this mission. Effective School Year 2010-2011, the different colleges will be known as Schools. They are:
- School of Accountancy and Business Management - SABM
(College of Accountancy and Commerce) - School of Computing and Information Sciences - SCIS
(College of Information and Computing Sciences) - School of Engineering and Architecture - SEA
(College of Engineering and Architecture) - School of Humanities - SoH
(College of Human Sciences) - School of Law - SoL
(College of Law) - School of Medicine - SoM
(College of Medicine) - School of Natural Sciences - SNS
(College of Natural Sciences) - School of Nursing - SoN
(College of Nursing) - School of Teacher Education - STE
(College of Education)
The programs offered by the different schools are accredited by the Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges and Universities (PAASCU). With their exemplary performance, the following schools were given distinctive awards by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED):

Center of Excellence for Teacher Education - School of of Nursing
Center of Development for Nursing Education - School of Engineering and Architecture

But wait let us talk also about the other schools. There are other SLU schools in the country. There is the Saint Louis College of La Union.
Another one is the St. Louis College of Tuguegarao.
There is also the Saint Louis College Valenzuela.
And St. Louis School of Mandaue,
And last one is the Saint Louis School (Solano, Nueva Vizcaya).(I am not really sure if this are all of them)
