Praised be Jesus and Mary!

We are blessed and honored to welcome you to St. Mary’s Academy of Dalaguete, Cebu Inc., a proud Catholic institution that has faithfully served the communities of Southern part of Cebu for nearly a century. Established in 1925 by Rev. Fr. Ruperto Sarmiento, the parish priest, and later entrusted to the Congregation of the Religious of the Virgin Mary on July 8, 1946. Our school has been a beacon of faith, hope, and academic excellence for generations.

As we celebrate our Centennial Anniversary (1925–2025), we give thanks to God for a hundred years of nurturing young hearts and minds in the light of the Gospel. For a century, St. Mary’s Academy has remained steadfast in forming future leaders, rooted in Christ’s teachings and committed to the core values of Faith, Excellence, and Service.

We are proud to be the only PAASCU-accredited school in the southern part of Cebu, a true witness to our commitment to quality education and holistic development. Our rich history, combined with a forward-looking approach, ensures that every student who enters our doors receives not only academic excellence but also a strong foundation in faith.

As we continue to grow, we warmly invite you to be part of our vibrant community—where academic rigor, spiritual formation, and social responsibility go hand in hand. With hope and confidence in what the future holds, we remain devoted to our mission of bringing God’s love and guidance to every student entrusted to our care.

Thank you for visiting us. May the spirit of St. Mary’s Academy inspire you, as we move forward together in faith, hope and excellence.

In Jesus, Mary, and Mother Ignacia,
