The Philippine Science High School Western Visayas Campus (PSHS-WV), one of the campuses of the Philippine Science High School System, is located at Brgy. Bito-on, Jaro, Iloilo City, Philippines. Established in 1993, the school admits and grants scholarships to students who are gifted in science and mathematics. Most of the scholars are from Western Visayas which covers the provinces of Aklan, Antique, Capiz, Guimaras, Iloilo and Negros Occidental and the MIMAROPA (Region IV-B) which includes the provinces of Occidental Mindoro, Oriental Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon and Palawan. Until the establishment of PSHS Central Visayas in 2009, the campus also catered to the students from the provinces of Bohol, Cebu, Negros Oriental and Siquijor, all from Central Visayas. The former campus director and present executive director, Dr. Josette T. Biyo, has an asteroid named after her, 13241 Biyo.
The campus was once the only concrete structure amidst acres of rice fields, whereas now, it is in a sprawling upper class subdivision.
