Batangas Science School

The Batangas Science School was founded on November 23, 2000 by Mr. Jose de Castro (also the founder of Lipa Science National High School) and his spouse, Mrs. Renie Macaraig - de Castro in Banay-banay, Lipa City. The pioneer batch of the school had 19 students only which included Eric Bried, a German. The population multiplied every school year and in SY 2002-2003, the population reached 521. Initially, the school's motto was "Competence, Character, Compassion" and was then changed to "To Climb the Mountain, To Kiss the Clouds". The new emblem which portrayed Mount Makulot's grandeur with a coconut tree in the foreground was designed by Maria Lourdes de Castro (not related to the founders).

On its first year, the school published its first english school paper, Vanguard (Editor-in-Chief was Maria Lourdes de Castro), simultaneously with its Filipino counterpart, Kalasag (Editor-in-Chief was Altaire Thyra Bautista). The following year, the school organ changed its name to The BSSAN (pronounced as Bessan).

The school has been actively participating local, regional, and national activities like the National Schools Press Conference and some Science-Research oriented Contests.
