iACADEMY offers first-class IT, Business, and Art courses, conducted in high-end facilities where students can learn in both aspects of theoretical and practical education. Strategically located at the country’s leading Makati business district, iACADEMY is home to industry professionals and partners, who would teach, train, and eventually hire their students.

iACADEMY’s mission and vision is to develop trailblazers and movers by providing a venue for the incubation and realization of ideas through lasting and meaningful partnerships with leading industry players. As pioneer in adult education, iACADEMY inspires its students to pursue their passions, develop real-world solutions, and be of service to society. Lending its expertise and industry experience to iACADEMY is a group of distinguished individuals (Board of Governors) who ensure that the school is always in its finest working conditions.

“The world is rapidly changing. Businesses today are not the same as they were years ago. Technology is also changing. No college or university in the Philippines understands this better than iACADEMY. We are not heavily reliant on text books. Our programs are really a mix of technology, arts and business. We come up with our programs by looking at what the industry needs rather than what is already available,” iACADEMY CEO Vanessa Tanco Cualoping explains.

Established in 2002, its founders, opened doors to 72 students in June 2002 in its premiere location along Ayala Avenue, Makati City. The first 72 students enrolled in BSBA e-Management, BSCS Software Engineering, BSCS Network Engineering, and BSIT Digital Arts. For the succeeding school years, the population increased and so the curricula was enhanced. To better equip its students, a partnership was made with IBM Philippines in June 2003. Two years later, the Computer Science and Information Technology program was granted recognition, with zero deficiency, by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED). New courses were offered like BSBA Marketing and Advertising (2004), and BS Animation (2007), which holds partnership with the Cutting Edge Productions. Soon, more courses were offered: AB in Multimedia Arts and Design (2011), and BS Game Development and Programming (2011), which includes developing computer games in both mobile and desktop platforms designed by select members of the International Game Developer Association.

iACADEMY cares for its students and provides different programs that will support their academic and non-academic experiences. Its Academic Advising, Coaching, and Enhancement (ACE) Program provides students a support system that helps students adjust to college life, learn, pass the rigors of academic requirements, and enjoy in the process.
As one of the pioneers of industry-partnered education, iACADEMY also built an internship program, where student interns work full-time with partner companies for at least 960 hours with professionals. This model has resulted in a 98% job placement success rate of iACADEMY graduates to date.

The premier location; the high-end facilities; and the dynamic and optimized student programs and services, provide the most conducive and effective learning environment for globally-competitive professionals. All these at iAcademy.
