A Proud Heritage: Origin and Evolution
Founded in the 1970s by educators Antero S. Delos Reyes, Sr. and Erlinda Cabeguin-Delos Reyes, Liceo de Davao began its journey as the Mindanao Business School (MBS). In 1989, after nearly a decade of pioneering technical and vocational education, MBS formally adopted the name Liceo de Davao to reflect its expanded focus on K-12 and higher education programming. Through each chapter of growth, our institution has remained true to its founders’ vision of service, integrity, and Filipino cultural pride.

Our mission is to provide quality education that fosters intellectual growth, moral integrity, and social responsibility. We envision Liceo de Davao as a leading institution in shaping globally competitive, value-driven individuals who carry forward the legacy of Filipino tradition and service. Across curricula, we integrate discussions on social, cultural, economic, political, and spiritual issues, ensuring graduates possess not just knowledge, but the discernment and compassion to effect positive change.
