About COSCA

Colegio de Santa Catalina de Alejandria (COSCA) is a private school in Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental. The school started as The Little Flower Clinic, which was built on the space occupied by the St. Paul Academy after it was burned down in a disastrous fire in December 1953. The Little Flower Clinic initially offered Kindergarten and Grade One programs. Due to the demand for Catholic education in the area, the school became the Parochial School, offering additional programs in Grades Two to Six. Eventually, tertiary level courses were provided; and, the school earned its college status and was renamed the Dumaguete Cathedral College (DCC). Another unfortunate fire was experienced by the school community in 1983; when new buildings were constructed, DCC was renamed to its present name, manifesting new beginnings for the school.

Mother to all schools in the Diocesan Schools System, COSCA offers a complete set of programs from preschool to college.

Offering Catholic education for more than sixty years, Colegio de Santa Catalina de Alejandria continues to produce students who become active members in their families, the Church, and the community.
