Batangas College of Arts and Sciences, Inc.

Batangas College of Arts and Sciences, Inc. (BCAS) is a private school in Banaybanay Concepcion, Lipa City, founded in 2000 by Jose R. De Castro, EdD, who started the school (then known as Batangas Science School) in a single room with 19 students. The De Castro family has a long history in Philippine education, and BCAS has since grown into a campus spanning more than three hectares. The school runs Pre-School and Elementary, Junior High School, Senior High School, and College Departments. BCAS has published scholarship information, including terms, conditions, and an application form, on its official website, though the school's edu.ph domain is currently unreachable; the most recent available copy of the site is an archived snapshot. The school has been led by Renie M. De Castro, PhD, as President. Google reviews from current and former students describe a large campus with a covered court for basketball and volleyball, decently sized and well-ventilated classrooms, and an active elementary-through-secondary program, alongside complaints about heavy homework loads for high schoolers. Specific college degree programs, senior high tracks, tuition, and third-party accreditation for BCAS are not published in a form that could be independently verified for this profile.
