Philippine Academy of Sakya
(菲律賓佛教能仁中學)
Sakya is a Buddhist educational institution established by the Buddhist Bhikus of Seng Guan Temple in 1960.
The student population is not as large as its neighbor schools but it continues to fulfill its mission and the number of successful graduates speak well of the school.
It continues to thrive under an inspired learning environment managed by competent administrators and qualified and committed teachers. Sakya approaches the new millennium with optimism and high hopes of brighter future.
Sakya is a family composed of the school administrators, personnel, teachers, alumni, parents and surrounding communities.
