San Sebastian College-Recoletos, Manila opened its doors to about 80 students in 1941 until the outbreak of war jolted its operation. In 1946, it had a combined enrollment of 200 pupils and students. In 1947, a two-story edifice of gothic architecture was constructed. Few years later the third building was constructed after the old convent was demolished. In 1954, an annex was added to the second
building consisting of four levels. In 1959, an impressive and imposing building was constructed which houses the college auditorium, a 1200-seater equipped with modern technical facilities. In 1966, a five-story edifice was inaugurated which is now shared by the elementary and collegiate levels. Now, the elementary, high school, and collegiate departments enjoy the “accredited” status from the “PAASCU”
