From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Makati Hope Christian School (MHCS), (simplified Chinese: 马加智嘉南学校; traditional Chinese: 馬加智嘉南學校; pinyin: Mǎjiāzhì Jiānán Xuéxiào; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Má-ka-tì Ka-lâm Ha̍k-hāu) is a Filipino-Chinese school in Makati founded in 1985. It is owned by the St. Francis Square group of companies. Its students have performed well in government-administered examinations such as the National Achievement Test (NAT).[1] In school year 2012-2013, its High 4 students ranked first in the NAT among private schools in Makati.[2] Currently, the school has ACSCU-ACI Level III Accreditation.
MHCS started operation with just a handful of kindergarten pupils and school personnel in 1985. To date, the student population has steadily increased along with school personnel. In 1986, the Early Childhood Department (formerly known as the Preschool Department) was granted recognition by DECS permit No. P-0066 series 1986. In 1989, the Elementary Department was granted recognition permit No. E-0001 series 1989. In 1993, government recognition was granted to the High School Department by virtue of DECS permit No. S-103 series 1993. The school has graduated 29 batches of high school students since that time. The school recently opened a new campus at St. Francis Square, Ortigas.
