Introduction

Antipolo sits on the hills east of Metro Manila, and choosing a school here is partly a geography problem. The private school field is spread across hillside barangays and the Sumulong Highway corridor, and the commute between campuses can be long and steep.

The city does not have one dominant "prestige" school. It has a few long-running Catholic institutions, a university campus that covers senior high and college, a cluster of Montessori and progressive schools, and a handful of small neighborhood schools. Fees are rarely published online. Of the schools covered here, Assumption Antipolo and OLFU Antipolo are the only ones for which we found full published fee tables.

This guide covers the 11 private schools in SchoolFinderPH's Antipolo directory and one well-known school outside it, grouped by what they are best for rather than ranked. We checked accreditation against PAASCU's member directory and pulled fees only from the schools' own published schedules. Where a school does not publish fees, we say so instead of guessing.

Which Antipolo schools are best for a full K-12 path?

La Salle College Antipolo and Assumption Antipolo are the two most established options for families who want one school from preschool to Grade 12. Both are Catholic, both are PAASCU-accredited, and both sit along the Sumulong Highway corridor. The main difference is that Assumption is all-girls and publishes its fees, while La Salle is coed and does not.

La Salle College Antipolo

La Salle College Antipolo was founded by Br. Rolando Dizon, a past president of De La Salle University Manila, and Br. Francis Cody, FSC. Classes moved to the mountainside Antipolo campus in January 1986, and the school joined De La Salle Philippines in 2006. Its college unit merged with De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde in 2018, so LSCA is now basic education only, from Nursery 1 through Senior High, with a separate preschool campus in the town proper since 2019.

PAASCU's member directory lists LSCA's basic education at Level II, valid through February 2030, with initial accreditation in March 2011. Senior high offers STEM, ABM, HUMSS and Arts and Design, plus TVL strands in ICT and food processing. Enrollment is around 1,872 students. LSCA does not post a fee schedule on its website; it lists online payment options and links to ESC and voucher information instead. One practical note from a Google reviewer: the access road is steep, so check your daily commute before enrolling.

Assumption Antipolo (not yet in our directory)

Assumption Antipolo is a private Catholic girls' school run by the Religious of the Assumption, located on Sumulong Highway since 1974 according to its Wikipedia history. PAASCU lists its junior high school at Level III, valid through February 2028.

It is also the most transparent school in the city on cost. Its published reference schedule for SY 2025-2026 puts tuition and other fees at ₱111,742 (Grade 2) to ₱168,330 (Grade 12) a year, or ₱119,999 to ₱173,700 once books, supplies and one uniform set are added. The document notes: "The Schedule of Fees for SY 2026-2027 will be released before enrollment in May 2026," so request the current schedule from the school.

Quotable stat: Assumption Antipolo's published tuition and other fees for SY 2025-2026 range from ₱111,742 to ₱168,330 a year, the highest published figures among Antipolo private schools covered here.

PAREF Rosehill School

PAREF Rosehill School is a Catholic girls' school in Sta. Monica Estate, Mission Hills, part of the Parents for Education Foundation (PAREF) network. It runs Kindergarten through Senior High under the DepEd K-12 curriculum, with a Personal Formation Program and a mentoring system that pairs each student with a faculty mentor. As with other PAREF schools, parents are expected to be closely involved. Fees and accreditation are not published.

Antipolo Immaculate Conception School

Antipolo Immaculate Conception School is a Catholic school offering Pre-School through Senior High, emphasizing character and spiritual formation alongside academics. It runs a DOST scholar program and accepts GCash payments. It holds a 4.7-star Google rating from 18 reviews, though the reviews are short and say little about academics.

Which schools in Antipolo offer Montessori or progressive education?

Antipolo has an unusually strong cluster of child-centered schools. Montessori Integrated School is the largest and runs all the way to Grade 12; Marcelli is the choice for younger children in very small classes.

Montessori Integrated School

Montessori Integrated School, at 1 L. Sumulong Memorial Circle, describes itself as one of the pioneer schools to bring Montessori education to the Philippines. It offers Preschool, Elementary, Junior High and Senior High (STEM, HUMSS, ABM), plus a Professional Academy for Culinary Education under the TVL track, a Special Education program and a home-based online option. Applications go through its parent portal with a published ₱400 application fee; tuition is quoted by email only. Our Montessori Integrated School admission guide walks through the process step by step.

Marcelli School of Antipolo

Marcelli School of Antipolo, on Marigman Road in San Roque, was established in 1998 and describes itself as one of the pioneers of progressive education in the city. It enrolls children aged 2 to 11, from toddler level through Grade 6, and caps each section at 15 students. There is no junior or senior high, so plan a transfer after Grade 6.

St. John's Wort Montessori School and Harvest International School

St. John's Wort Montessori School on M.L. Quezon Extension in Dalig offers K-12 under DepEd and now uses the name St. John's Wort Integrated School on its Facebook page, its main public channel. Harvest International School, also in Dalig, is a Christian, independent K-12 school that highlights small class sizes; it publishes little else, so plan a campus visit.

Where should you go for senior high and college in Antipolo?

OLFU Antipolo is the strongest private option, with published fees and CHED autonomous status. The state-run URS Antipolo is the free alternative for college.

Our Lady of Fatima University Antipolo

OLFU Antipolo, on Sumulong Highway, offers senior high (ABM, STEM, HUMSS, GAS) and college programs including Nursing, Pharmacy, Physical Therapy, Psychology, Accountancy, IT, Criminology and Education. CHED granted the Antipolo campus autonomous status for the first time in 2024, valid until September 2027, and the campus holds PACUCOA accreditation and ISO 9001:2015 certification.

OLFU publishes its fees in full. Regular senior high tuition is ₱17,500 for one school year. For public school completers, the voucher covers that entirely, leaving a ₱0 balance; ESC grantees from private schools get ₱14,000 and pay ₱2,000. The optional SHS Plus package (air-conditioned rooms and 4 units credited toward OLFU college) costs ₱34,000. For college, 1st year, 1st semester fees for AY 2026-2027 run from ₱28,924 (Tourism Management) to ₱35,423 (Nursing). The school notes these rates "apply to Regular First Year Students and are subject to change." Full program-by-program figures are in our OLFU tuition fee guide.

Quotable stat: OLFU Antipolo's published 1st-semester college fees for AY 2026-2027 run ₱28,924 to ₱35,423, with BS Nursing at the top of the range.

Sumulong College of Arts and Sciences

Sumulong College of Arts and Sciences on M.L. Quezon Extension offers senior high and college programs. It does not publish fees, and its Google reviews (4.0 stars from 47) are split: one reviewer calls the tuition reasonable, while another complains about hidden fees. Ask for a full itemized assessment before paying a down payment.

University of Rizal System Antipolo Campus (public)

URS Antipolo is not private, but it belongs on any Antipolo shortlist. As a state university, its undergraduate tuition is free for qualified Filipino students under RA 10931. The campus offers senior high and college programs through its colleges of Hospitality Management, Business Administration, Education and Engineering, with admission based on its own entrance requirements and quotas.

Quotable stat: The URS Antipolo Campus charges no undergraduate tuition for qualified Filipino students under RA 10931, compared with ₱28,924 to ₱35,423 per semester at OLFU Antipolo.

How much does private school cost in Antipolo, and what subsidies apply?

Published Antipolo fees range from ₱17,500 a year (OLFU regular SHS) to ₱168,330 a year (Assumption Antipolo Grade 12, SY 2025-2026). Most schools in between do not publish figures, so expect to call.

Government subsidies narrow the gap. Under DepEd Order 011, s. 2026, Antipolo falls under the "all other locations" tier because it is not in NCR or a highly urbanized city:

Subsidy	Who qualifies	Amount in Antipolo
ESC grant	Grade 7-10 at a participating private JHS	₱9,000/year
SHS voucher (public completers)	Grade 11-12	₱17,500/year
SHS voucher (ESC grantees, private completers)	Grade 11-12	₱14,000/year

OLFU Antipolo's own fee computation uses exactly these ₱17,500 and ₱14,000 figures. See our ESC grant guide and SHS voucher guide for eligibility and how to apply.

How do you choose the right school in Antipolo?

Map the commute first. Antipolo's campuses sit on hillsides and along Sumulong Highway, so travel time varies a lot by barangay. A cheaper school 40 minutes away may cost more in time and fare.
Decide on single-sex or coed early. Assumption Antipolo and PAREF Rosehill are girls' schools; most others are coed.
Check how far the school goes. Marcelli ends at Grade 6, Georgia International Academy starts at junior high, and OLFU and Sumulong start at senior high.
Ask for the full assessment, not just tuition. Miscellaneous fees, books, uniforms and development fees can add thousands. Assumption's own schedule shows books, supplies and one uniform set adding about ₱4,700 to ₱11,600 a year.
Ask whether the school takes ESC and the SHS voucher. It can lower Grade 7-12 costs by ₱9,000 to ₱17,500 a year.
Read recent reviews for specifics. Ratings are useful, but detailed reviews about guidance, registrar service and facilities tell you more.
