History
The Philippine Science High School Central Visayas Campus started with one academic building and 25 scholars, with six teachers and six administrative staff. The Officer-In-Charge Campus Director at that time was Dr. Pedrito G. Padilla, who helped in setting the foundations of the school. The school started its operations on June 29, 2006, while formal classes started on June 30, 2006.
During the opening ceremonies, the scholars, who were housed in the Kumazawa residence and Aballe Apartelle due to the lack of dormitories, went up the mountain with their parents to witness the first opening ceremonies of the school. Many political personalities were there, like Simeon Kintanar, congressman of the second district of Cebu and Wilfredo Caminero, mayor of the municipality of Argao, Cebu.
The school is currently on its fifth year of operation.
