History
SSIS started off in 1996 offering only a Pre-school program as Stonyhurst School and integrating an English speaking environment. The name being reference to Stonyhurst College in the UK, the school where Peter P. Laurel, the founder of the school, studied.
In 1997, the grade school department opened with an Integrated Program, a developmental model for elementary schools, designed to better meet the challenges of the 21st century. This opened the doors of SSIS, at that time still Stonyhurst School, to more and older students. This allowed the school to expand its grounds and start constructing other school facilities like the gym and the cafeteria.
In 2005, Stonyhurst took a higher dimension when it was granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, upon recommendation of the Department of Education, the international status thus the name, Stonyhurst International School. The year after, it merged with one of the leading international schools in the country, Southville International School and Colleges, a school recognized nationally and internationally, which also paved way to building its second campus in Lipa City - Stonyhurst Southville International School - Malarayat / Lipa City Campus.
In 2009, The Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC, USA) granted Stonyhurst Southville International School full accreditation.
It has continued to develop its curriculum incorporating Financial Literacy, Business and Entrepreneurship Subjects, Foreign Language in its program.
In 2017, the school added robotics in its pre-school, grade school, and high school curriculum[2] and integrated a robotics lab making use of robotic programs involving Hexbots and Arduino.
