Bohol Wisdom School (formerly Bohol Chinese School) is a private Filipino-Chinese academic institution in
Tagbilaran City. It was founded in 1930 as an elementary school. With the mission to integrate the Chinese and Filipino cultures, the Chinese founders had
Chinese Language Arts as a focus on the academic programs. In 1973, as adherence to the decree of Filipinization of foreign schools, the school was renamed Bohol Wisdom School (BWS) although Chinese Language Arts was still part of the regular curriculum. In 1982, the preschool department opened, and the high school department followed in 1987. In 2004, BWS began offering undergraduate courses in Teacher Education, which were given government recognition by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) in 2006.
The school is currently a K-12 accredited institution. It has a Senior High School (SHS) department offering the
Academic Track, particularly the
ABM, HUMSS, and
STEM strands. Its
College of Education, on the other hand, has degree programs in
Elementary Education and in
Secondary Education, both of which have specific majors which students can take according to their interests. These college courses include Chinese classes in their curricula as well.
