Oldest high school in the Philippines?

Answer 1

The Pontifical and Royal University of Santo Tomas, founded in 1611, is not only the oldest University but also the oldest School in Asia.

The Claim that the University of San Carlos traces its roots to the Colegio de San Ildefonso (1595) is invalid since their is no clear link between the two. After the expulsion of the Jesuits, the Colegio closed down.

Years later, the colegio's facilities was used by its new owners and opened with a new name.

Only the building of Colegio per se lived on BUT the Colegio de San Ildefonso was never again revived.

Unlike UST, USC never experienced a homogeneous growth that is why, it cannot claim its roots from Colegio de San Ildefonso.
