Infant Jesus Academy of Silang, Inc. (402282)

Infant Jesus Academy of Silang, Inc. (IJA) is a Catholic school in Silang, Cavite, established on June 4, 1945 by the Missionary Canonesses of St. Augustine (now the Congregatio Immaculati Cordis Mariae, or ICM Sisters). Its roots trace to 1913, when the congregation ran an orphanage and school in Tondo, Manila; after that orphanage was destroyed during World War II, the sisters relocated with about 100 orphans to Silang at the invitation of the parish priest, Fr. Michael Donoher. The school is organized into four clusters: Pre-School (Nursery to Kindergarten), Primary (Grades 1-3), Middle School (Grades 4-8), and High School (Grades 9-10 junior high plus Senior High School). It operates under the Diocese of Imus Catholic Educational System (DICES).
