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.

“The present war having so long cut off all communication with Great-Britain, we are not able to make a fair estimate of the state of science in that country. The spirit in which she wages war is the only sample before our eyes, and that does not seem the legitimate offspring either of science or of civilization.”

“There is a high road to Heaven which few people travel; Hell hath no door, but many manage to burrow their way in.”
