    A GLIMPSE TO ACLC HISTORY

    With 13 computers and 13 students in a rented tenement in Mandaluyong in


    1980, the AMA Education System has now grown into the biggest network of campuses
    in Asia.
     
    At present, it has more than 100 branches in the Philippines and abroad. It has
    an annual student population of 150,000. And it has produced almost 200,000 highly
    competent computer professionals employed by various companies worldwide.
     
    The AMAES started as an Institute of Computer Studies. At that time, computers
    were expensive and microprocessors were very new. But its founder, Dr. Amable R.
    Aguiluz V, saw a vision of the Philippines as the world’s premier source of manpower
    through computer education. Dr. Aguiluz vigorously pursued his plan of setting up a
    center of computer learning in every corner of the Philippines.
     
    A year later, a positive response from computer enthusiasts encouraged the
    Institute to offer a four-year course in Computer Science – the first in the Philippines
    then – and was thus renamed AMA Computer College. In 1983, the institution grew into
    a network of colleges in Metro Manila. 
     
    By 1989, the AMAES began its provincial expansion by putting up a college
    campus in Cebu. Currently, there are 40 AMA colleges scattered all over the
    Philippines.
     
    Meanwhile, the advent of AMA Computer Learning Center in 1986, AMA
    International Institute of Technology (AIIT) in 1996 and ABE International College of
    Business and Economics in 1999 filled the need for quality training and education for
    Filipino youth who do not have the financial capability to clinch a four or five-year
    degree. 
     
    In 1996, the AMAES established the AMA Science School aimed at providing
    children with an early exposure to science and math concepts through the Great
    Explorations in Math and Science (GEMS), a curriculum developed by the Lawrence
    Hall of Science of the University of California at Berkeley.
     
    In 1999, AMA Computer College made another breakthrough – it became the
    first computer school to be awarded the prestigious ISO 90001 Certification. This
    certification further attests to the world-class quality education that AMA offers.
     
    Another highlight in AMA Education System’s history is the conferment of
    university status to AMA Computer College in Quezon City. Now named AMA Computer
    University, it is regarded as the pioneer and largest IT University in Asia. 
     
    As it grows in leaps and bounds, AMAES remains committed to its unending
    vision to become the leader and dominant provider of relevant and globally-recognized
    education and training in information and communications technology.

    Mission
