The Claretian fathers dreamt to build a school in the Philippines after they had started their missions in Zamboanga and Basilan. The fathers needed a base to serve as the center for Claretian activities in the country. In the late 1960s, Fr. José Querexta, CMF acquired the 29,000 square meter lot in UP Village, Diliman, Quezon City. In 1967, the construction of the first two buildings of the school (Xifré and Clotet) were supervised by Fr. Miguel Mialet, CMF. Fr. Santiago González, CMF was the first school director. Under his guidance the school quickly grew to include the Intermediate Grade School Department in 1968 and the High School Department in 1972. In the 1970s the school included an upgrade of the old covered court into today's gymnasium, and The Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish.[citation needed]

In 1981, Fr. González was replaced by Fr. Julián Mateos, CMF; Jesús Vásquez, CMF; Emilio Pablo, CMF; Fr. Luis Fernández Rey, CMF; and Fr. Domingo Moraleda, CMF. From 1981 until 1995, the school was transferred under the supervision of Dr. Enrique Coralejo, a lay director.[citation needed]

The 1990 earthquake forced the school to make reinforcements to the main buildings. During the same decade, the Sala building was completed as the last of the five main buildings of the campus.The Vilaró , Fàbregas and Sala buildings were then built in 1990's. From 1995 until 2001,Fr. Agapito Ferrero, CMF was the school director.[citation needed]

From 2001–2006,Fr. Felimon P. Libot, CMF became the first Filipino Claretian priest to be assigned as school director. On on May 15, 2006, Fr. Salvador G. Agualada, CMF became the school director. In 2007, the school celebrated its 40th anniversary and the TLE building was completed.[1][2].In the middle of SY 2008-2009, the former School Director, Rev. Fr. Domingo Moraleda died on a fatal accident at Mabalacat, Pampanga[3]. In SY2009-2010 , the school director was Fr. Eduardo Apungan, CMF which he took office on June 1, 2009.After the School year 2009-2010 , Fr. Eduardo Apungan,CMF ,was succeeded by Rev.Fr. Renato Manubag , CMF in SY 2010-2011

Organization

Claret School of Quezon City is composed of the Child Study Center, the Grade School Department and the High School Department. While the Grade School and High School units were established in 1967, it was only in June 2001 that the school opened the Child Study Center. The Center accepts 3½ to 4½ year-old boys and girls for nursery and 4½ to 5½ year-old boys for Kinder. From Kinder, the curriculum ladder extends to the prep level which was integrated to the Grade School in 1967.

The Grade School department of Claret School of Quezon City was accredited by the PAASCU on March 15, 1978. It was granted reaccreditation in 1982, 1988, 1994, 2000, 2005 and the latest was until 2010.

The High School department received its accreditation by PAASCU on April 19, 1991. It was granted reaccreditation in 1995, 2001, and 2006.[2]

In the school year 2003–2004, the Association of Claret Schools in the Philippines, Inc.
