History
The school started in 1976 when its founder, Raquel Delute Baclayon, taught preschool education to children inside the garage of her home in Marikina City, Philippines teaching 4 to 7 year-olds.
In 1991, she was invited to head a church-based Christian school as Principal until she built her own school in 1997 with help from her family.
On February 16, 1999, Government Recognition No. P-001 Series of 1999 was awarded to Charis School as an officially Department of Education recognized Pre-School Educational Institution. Two years later, in 2001, its Elementary Program was also recognized under Government Recognition No. E-004 Series of 2001.
Six years after it graduated its first elementary students the school applied for Government Permit to Operate a Secondary Level. Pursuant to Philippine Education Act of 1982, Government Permit No. S-0108, Series of 2008 was issued to the school. In June 2008 the school started accepting students for its Secondary Level Course.
