[edit] History

Woodrose was established by the Parents for Education Foundation, Inc. (PAREF) in 1977. It was originally located on the corner of 10th Street and Gilmore Street in New Manila, Quezon City. In 1981, it moved to a two-hectare site in Muntinlupa City that was donated to PAREF by Jaime Zobel de Ayala.

Woodrose is closely affiliated with Southridge School, another PAREF institution.

[edit] Academics

Woodrose is known for its competitive academic environment and social conservatism (prospective students must present their parents' marriage certificate in order to gain admission). Students and alumni have been recipients of Zonta International awards, Alaska Cup soccer competitions, Metro Manila Debate Awards, and National Speaking and Debate awards, among others.

Woodrose's curriculum focuses on the intellectual and spiritual development of the school's students. It is centered on four core values: respect, responsibility, concern for others and love for the world and God.
