Tourism information on

Negros Oriental, Philippines
Dumaguete City
College
Filipinos are very school-oriented. When family finances permit
or with government scholarships [post high school only], many bright and
ambitious Filipinos go to private [non-denominational, Catholic, and
Protestant] elementary and secondary schools, and take post-high school
training and education at the many vocational schools, colleges, and
universities in the Philippines. Most classes are taught in English.
Negros Island has many excellent colleges and universities.
Dumaguete is very famous in the Philippines
for its top-notch, high-achieving colleges and universities: famous Silliman
University [founded in 1901 and the only Protestant university in the
Philippines], Central Visayas Polytechnical College [CVPC, a state-owned,
low-tuition fountain of learning], St. Paul's College [over a century in
existence and now a university], and Foundation University [a small but good
quality university]. Dumaguete also has several post-graduate computer
training schools: AMA, STI, and Acsat.
