MANILA, Philippines – The Philippine Science High School (PSHS), more commonly known as Pisay, celebrated its 50th anniversary Friday, September 5. From its humble beginnings in 1963, this specialized public school has expanded into 13 campuses across the country.

The school system is supervised by the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), and is offering a curriculum with a focus on the sciences and mathematics to deserving Filipino children from any background. They are expected to take up a science & mathematics course in college and, hopefully, chart a career in science.

Here are some interesting facts about Pisay: 1. PSHS is the brainchild of a Filipino mathematician Dr. Leopoldo Torralballa, a professor of mathematics at the New York University, envisioned a school specializing in giving quality education in the maths and sciences to young Filipinos. The idea of having this kind of school is patterned after the Bronx High School of Science in New York City.

Republic Act No. 3661 established PSHS Signed on June 22, 1963, RA 3661 mandates the creation of a school that will offer, on a free scholarship basis, a secondary course with special emphasis on subjects related to mathematics and sciences, with the end goal of its students eventually taking up a scientific career.

PSHS started out in a rented building owned by the Philippine Government Employees Association (PGEA) For much of the 60s, PSHS operated with a very low budget and improvised equipment. The first Pisay campus used to rent in a 'matchbox' building along the Quezon Memorial Circle. In 1966, the PSHS asked the government for a land of its own, leading to its transfer to a 7.5-hectare lot in Diliman, Quezon City, which would become the main campus of the PSHS system.

Construction began in 1970 and completed in 1972, with the batches ‘73 and ‘76 the first to study in PSHS Diliman. Admission in PSHS is competitive There are over 20,000 application forms sent to PSHS every year.

Students from other schools who wish to transfer are given placement exams. But they should wait for slots vacated by students who are dismissed or are transferred to another PSHS campuses. Sciences and Mathematics courses make up the core curriculum of PSHS Math, science, and technology (MST) courses make up around 52-53% of the total course units in grades 7 and 8. In grades 9 and 10, MST courses take up around 60% of the total course units. Finally, MST courses consist around 78% of the total course units in grades 11 and 12.
