Southville International School and Colleges (SISC) was founded by Dr. Genevieve Ledesma-Tan in 1989 and grew rapidly into a full international school of 1,500 students with accreditation from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), the body that accredits most international schools in South East Asia. In 1997, Roger and Helen Bartholomew of International Education Specialists (InterEd) teamed up with the owners of SISC to start Southville Foreign University, the first International College in the country.
Our
prime responsibility is to our students and our faculty,
going beyond their expectations of learning and
achievement... this is the beginning line of the mission
statement of Southville Foreign University. It projects the
powerful image of what we are about, of the kind of thinking
that should permeate the University.
