A. HISTORY
In 1991 when the church Board of Plaridel Bible Church recognized that in the fulfillment of its mission as a church, it must address the need of reaching out to the children of Bintog, Plaridel Bulacan and its neighboring barangays. As a result of the vision, Plaridel Bible Church has decided to operate a school that will provide quality education and strong values formation for children especially to those belonging to low and middle-income families. The school was named PBC Sunbeam Pre-School Center.
On May 22, 1995, the Board of Elders, Deacons, Boards of Trustees, other church leaders and the chairman of Christian Education set up plans for the opening and operation of an Elementary school. It was then called, PBC Sunbeam School. The School started with Grade I in 1996, Grade II in 1997, Grade III in 1998, Grade IV in 1999, Grade V in 2000 and Grade VI in 2001 and in that same year, on June 27, 2001 PBC Sunbeam School was granted its Certificate of Recognition E-046 S.2001 by the Department of Education, Culture and Sports, Region III.
In the year 2002, the Church Board decided to continue its vision of putting up the secondary school to cater for the needs of teenagers. The school aims to provide a venue for the students' physical, social, emotional, mental and spiritual development, thus giving them the best training preparation for their college years. And finally, on March 5, 2006 the High School Department was granted its certificate of recognition no.011 series of 2006 by the Department of Education, Region III.
