Without providence, dedication and a willful heart, it could not have thrived. Documentary necessities, facilities, and academic requirements among many others were needed to be complied with for the granting of the permits to operate by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED). In June 2009, the following courses were offered by the school: 1st year Bachelor of Laws with 61 students, 1st year Bachelor in Elementary Education with 12 students, 1st year Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with 9 students. The temporary campus site was the Valle Building at Osme\u00f1a Street, Tagum City, Davao del Norte.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About US Our Vision A home for quality education where knowledge and character go together.
