THE SCHOOL PHILOSOPHY
The Aemilianum College, a Roman Catholic school runs by the Somascan Fathers, takes it reason of existence from a man. St Jerome Emiliani, who greatly contributed to the improvement of humanity. In a society marked by social classes, he, a noble and rich man, devoted himself to the poor, thus proclaiming the dignity and value of every human being.
The A.C.I. is a cradle where the students can achieve a broad, general and liberal quality education, aimed at developing their character, personal discipline, civic conscience and vocational efficiency.
BRIEF HISTORICAL SKETCH
The birth of the school can be traced back to the time when the Diocesan Chancellor, Secretary of Caceres, Msgr. Florencio Yllana was appointed as new Parish Priest of Sorsogon. Deeply inspired by Msgr. Pedro Santos, Msgr. Yllana decided to found a Catholic School for boys as counterpart of the Colegio de la Milagrosa, which exclusively for High School Girls.
That was in 1944, right after the liberation. In 1947 a young Priest from Tiwi, Albay, and Rev. Father Eladio T. Palces was assigned as assistant priest of Sorsogon. It was then that Msgr. Yllana turned over to his new Assistant the directorship of the School. The boys were then housed at the residence of Msgr. Manuel Salvador
In 1951, the Colegio de la Milagrosa High School for boys transferred to the Parish Rectory. The new Director then changed the name of the school from Colegio de la Milagrosa (for boys) to Lyceum of Sorsogon.
When Msgr. Palces was assigned in Irosin, Sorsogon, he turned over the Administration to the Divine Word Fathers who came at the invitation of Bishop Arnulfo Arcilla in 1959. It was the SVD Fathers who changed the name of Lyceum of Sorsogon to Divine Word High School of Sorsogon in 1963.
In the 1976, under the suggestion of Msgr. Arcilla, the Divine Word High School returned to the Diocese and took the name of Sts. Peter & Paul Technical Institute.
In 1985, the School was handed down to the Somascan Fathers by Bishop Jesus Y. Varela. The Somascan Fathers changed its name once more and called it AEMILIANUM INSTITUTE and now AEMILIANUM COLLEGE, INC. This name is taken from the Family name of their founder St. Jerome Emiliani.
