HELP began in 1996 as the first ESL academy and boarding school in the Philippines. Over the next 20 years it expanded to include junior programs, additional campuses, an owned building, e-learning students from Japan and Korea, and affiliations with local and international universities. It obtained government permits to offer senior high school, 4-year degree programs through partnerships, and education abroad programs with prestigious US and UK universities. HELP has grown from its beginnings as a single academy to offer a variety of K-12 and higher education programs both domestic and international.
