GRADE SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
Colegio San Agustin-Biñan Grade School Department started in 1985 with 356 pupils from Grades I – III. Due to insistent demands of parents, the administrators opened grades IV to VI on the school’s second year of operation. Its first graduation was held in 1987 with 50 graduates. From then on, there was marked increase in its yearly enrollment.
On March 2, 1987, government recognition was granted to Grade School by the Department of Education, Culture and Sports (DECS). On April 26, 2002, the department was granted its certificate of accreditation by the Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges, and Universities (PAASCU). The Federation of Accrediting Agencies of the Philippines (FAAP) attested its certification of accreditation to level II for having satisfactorily met the standards and fulfilled all the requirements of the association. The department is committed to maintain its standards and to further strengthen its curricular and co-curricular offerings. The PAASCU re-survey visit was held last October 2005.
Its classrooms were formerly located in the first building which is now the newly constructed Sto. Niño Hall before it was moved to the second building, the Rada Hall. With the increase of enrollment, the first floor of the Urdaneta Hall, which is the High School building, is now occupied by some of the Grade School classes. All Grade School classrooms are fully air-conditioned.
