1. ORGANIZATION:
Praise Emerald Int’l School Foundation, Inc (PEIS) is a non-stock, non-profit educational institution which started in 1988 as a Day Care Center in honor of Judge Lorenzo Veneracion’s late daughter who died in a plane crash in January 26, 1987. In 1994, this Day Care Center was turned into a formal Nursery School. In 2008, the Department of Education (DepEd) granted a full recognition for both the Elementary and Secondary levels.

PEIS hope and dream is to see these less fortunate children become self-reliant, responsible, and productive Filipino citizen.
