## History

[edit]

Imus Institute is the oldest private school in Cavite, Philippines, that offers non-sectarian, co-educational learning. It was the first in the province to provide a complete secondary education program officially recognized by the government. The school was founded by community members of Imus, led by Manuel and Lorenzo Paredes, to make elementary and secondary education affordable for local youth.

The key founders included Manuel C. Paredes as President, Lorenzo B. Paredes as Vice President, Epifanio S. Paredes as Secretary, Remedios Monzon-Paredes as Treasurer, and Benito V. Rementilla as a Board Member. An honorary board, including notable figures like Dean Conrado Benitez and Dr. Jose P. Tirona, also supported the school.

Originally named Ymus Central Academy, the school was incorporated on January 20, 1923, and officially opened its doors to students on June 12, 1923. Imus was chosen for its location near Manila, its size, and its rich history. The founders aimed to offer quality education to families with limited means, foster students' potential, and develop both their minds and characters. The school quickly gained recognition for its effective teaching, good facilities, and comprehensive programs.
