Established in 1995, Ancillae Christi School of Loboc (formerly known as Christ the King Cathechetical Centre) is the only catholic preschool in the municipality which caters to marginalized children by providing them with quality Christian education.

Tiongson Street, Lagao, General Santos City

One storey classroom structure
Structure completion:
May 2017
One classroom serves:
90 pupils
Background:
GenSan Trade School is a DepEd-authorized public secondary school established to ease overcrowding at Notre Dame University, the only other secondary school in the area. Since DepEd funding requires 2 to 3 years of operation and proof of academic performance, the school built two makeshift classrooms to accommodate more students and reduce dropouts, especially among those who cannot afford Notre Dame. These classrooms are poorly furnished, divided only by thin wooden walls and shelves, covered with tarpaulin during rain, and have dirt floors that become dusty in summer and muddy when wet. Although a non-profit recently built two new classrooms, enrollment for Grades 7 to 10 has grown from over 150 to more than 500 students, further straining the school’s limited facilities and trade classes.
