History

In the early 1900s, the Right Reverend Charles Henry Brent, one of the most influential figures in the history of the Episcopal Church in the Philippines, became its first Bishop. His ministry was guided by three enduring goals:

  1. To provide an outstanding education for the youth of the Philippines and the children of the international community.
  2. To foster understanding and cooperation among Christians of different traditions and people of other faiths.
  3. To lead a determined campaign against moral and social challenges, particularly the widespread opium epidemic of his time.

Today, the institutions founded in Bishop Brent’s name continue to uphold these ideals. In pursuit of his vision for educational excellence, Bishop Brent established Brent School Baguio in 1909 to serve the children of expatriate families living in the Philippines. Building upon this foundation, Brent International School Manila was established in 1984, followed by Brent International School Subic in 1994. While each school operates independently, all three are united by a common mission, shared values, and a commitment to providing an exceptional international education.

In September 1994, the Board of Trustees of Brent Schools, Inc. accepted an invitation from the Honorable Richard J. Gordon, then Chairman of the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA), to establish a Brent school in Subic Bay to serve the children of foreign investors, expatriate families, and the local community. The Board enthusiastically embraced this opportunity and was granted the use of the former Binictican Elementary School campus, originally constructed by the United States Navy for the children of military personnel.

With its outstanding campus, dedicated faculty, and strong educational program, Brent International School Subic was independently incorporated in 1995 as a subsidiary of Brent Schools, Inc. Opening with just nine students, the school has grown into a vibrant international community of approximately 200 students representing more than 30 nationalities. Since its inception, Brent Subic has remained committed to developing knowledgeable, compassionate, and globally minded learners who graduate with the confidence and skills to succeed at leading universities and make meaningful contributions to communities around the world.
