In June 1964 was the realization of the dream school, Immaculate Conception Parish School, of its founder, Reverend Fr. Francis Kutscher, a missionary holy man from Germany, under the congregation of the Society of the Divine Word (SVD), through the inspiration and recommendation of Msgr. Hernando Antiporda, Auxiliary Bishop of Manila, during his parish pastoral visit in Cubao, Quezon City.

Reverend Fr. Francis Kutscher envisioned, that more children of Quezon City, particularly those below the poverty line, would enjoy Catholic Christian Elementary Education, a fundamental right of a citizen and a child of God.

In August of the same year, a Kindergarten School composed of 83 children, came into existence at the former site of the Saffy Handicraft Workshop, now the Parish Center, with one teacher, the late Ms. Martina Reyes. Enrolment increased to 120 Kindergarten and 90 Grade One pupils and an additional teacher was hired.

In February, 1966, a property of 1,000 square meter lot was bought. The first two floors of the main building were constructed in summer. In 1967, the third floor was added and 1968 the fourth floor. The year 1969 gave rise to the construction of the wooden three-classroom Kindergarten building.

With an enormous increase in enrolment during the school year 1970, an annex to the original four storey building was added to accommodate new classrooms as well as the office staff. The rise of ICPS and the completion of its Elementary Course was through the help and approval of the late Rufino Cardinal Santos, Archbishop of Manila. The founder’s aim is for the harmonious development of the student’s Spiritual, Intellectual and Physical Faculties, animated by a sincere love of God, of country and neighbor.

Participating in the missionary spirituality and charism of their founder, Blessed Arnold Janssen, the members of the Society of the Divine Word (S.V.D.) and the Congregation of the Servants of the Holy Spirit (S.Sp.S.) committed themselves to help the youth grow in maturity and enhance their apostolic effectiveness. This they accomplished through a relevant and quality education rooted in Christian values and geared to assist in the upliftment of those below the poverty line in the parish. Therefore the main thrust has been to train Christian Catholic leaders for service in the building of a truly ecclesial community and society to carry on Christ’s work in their own sphere of activity.

To continue the mission of evangelization, the founder and his confreres, the SVD priests and the S.Sp.S sisters, the parents and the parishioners at the time thought of a need for the establishment of a High School Department. Through prayers, planning efforts and funds from generous benefactors here and abroad, the ICPS High School, the most cherished dream of the founder came true in 1981.

The management style of the SVD priests had reached the peak of its accomplishment. Thus, they left the school for another place of mission. It was in May, 1990, the ICPS was turned over to the Diocesan priests under the jurisdiction of his Eminence Jaime Cardinal Sin, Archbishop of Manila.

The efforts expended have borne fruits as shown by the impressive array of successful graduates who have enriched others in their field of specialization. Due to this, the on-going mission of the Immaculate Conception Parish School has been ensued.

Another great achievement of the school to mark was the opening of a Nursery School in 1994 in answer to the clamor of parents wanting their darling tots to acquire their early education at ICPS. It first started with Nursery kids. Year after year it had bloomed to a bigger number of enrollees.

The phenomenal growth of the school population from 83 pupils in 1964 to 3,388 in 2001 attests to the quality of education offered by the efficiency of the school educational system.

The above leaders made explicit the Marian Dimensions of the mission and goals of the school. Aware of their social responsibilities, teachers and students had opened their venues reaching out for the underprivileged, offering financial assistance for them up to the present time. To continue the missionary work, the school established a Center for Integral Evangelization (CIE) in 1997 on which Religion is the core of its curriculum. In 2001, it was reestablished under the tutelage of Fr. Raul B. Barcela. The emphasis is Christ Centered school activities where Religion is integrated in all subject areas.

At present ICPS is a member of the Manila Archdiocesan and Parochial Schools Association (MAPSA). It has become a progressive school and one of the lead schools in the Archdiocese of Manila because it invests its resources for the acquisition of highly technological classroom equipments and teaching aids, including its modern Audio Visual Center and Computer Laboratory. Its graduates can compete globally with any school because of its Academic Excellence and wholistic spiritual formation. To include are the mentors of both departments, Grade School and High School, whose teaching competencies and methodologies are in par excellence, tested in the hands of time through exposure to extensive seminar workshops and trainings and pursuance of Masters and Doctoral studies; working hand in hand with highly effective school personnel. All of these effectively function with the managerial skills and expertise and dynamic leadership of Administrators, leading to making the school system acquire high excellence in the Academics and co-curricular activities, relevant and globally competitive Catholic school.
