Community schools were envisioned to have all the capabilities of a full fledged learning institution, while giving primacy to the preservation of indigenous people’s (IP) cultural heritage, and conservation and sustainability of their ancestral lands. This idea first came into fruition with the establishment of San Luis Lumad Community High School in San Luis, Agusan del Sur Province (Mindanao, Philippines) on September 5, 1996, with the help of Fr. Benjamin Alforque, MSC, a school apostolate of the Missionaries of the Assumption.These schools continue to provide FREE education to indigenous children and youth.
