Benilde vs. Benilde
Get an idea of how we have lived up to St. Benilde Romançon’s life and spirit, with some comparisons of our College against little known facts about St. Benilde.
St. Benilde Romançon
- When Br. Benilde was still a student, he was already very adept in tutoring his schoolmates.
- Pierre Romançon took the name Br. Benilde on June 22, 1820 when he became a Brother of the Christian Schools. He is named after St. Benildis, a woman martyr, who died in Cordova in 853 during the Moorish invasion of Spain.
- The school that Br. Benilde headed in Saugues offered evening classes for adults.
- Br. Benilde’s school also provided tutoring for challenged students.
- Br. Benilde was also known to have learned sign language to teach a deaf boy reading and catechism.
- It was said that Br. Benilde’s charity extended to everyone, but he had a special love for poorer children.
- Br. Benilde was also known for his sanctity and was especially effective in attracting religious vocations.
De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde
- Through the Student Learning Center (SLC), the College provides exceptional students with the opportunity to assist
fellow students in their studies.
- Named after St. Benilde Romançon who is known for “doing ordinary things extraordinarily well.”
- The Career Development Program (CDP) is a night program for mature students who are highly
motivated to complete their college education while working.
- The Learning Enhancement and Adjustment Program (LEAP) and the Deaf Learner’s Preparatory Course (DLPC) are
bridging programs to help students adjust to college life and the academic demands of tertiary education.
- Through the School of Deaf Education and Applied Studies (SDEAS), the College offers one of the very few degree
programs for Deaf students, as well as the Filipino Sign Language Program (FSLP) for hearing, hard-of-hearing and
Deaf people who would like to learn.
- Aside from merit and academic scholarships, the Students Grants Office (SGO) has several financial
assistance programs for deserving underprivileged students. These include the Benildean Hope Scholarship, Blessed
Arnould Study Assistance Program, SDEAS Grant, Students on Financial Assistance Grant, and Kapitbahay Scholarship.
- At 21, the College is still a young institution. We look forward to producing graduates who may later become
Brothers of the Christian Schools.
