History
The Claretian fathers dreamt of building a school in the Philippines after they had started their missions in Zamboanga and Basilan. They needed a base to serve as the center for Claretian activities in the country.
In the late 1960s, José Querexta, CMF acquired the 29,000 square meter lot in UP Village, Diliman, Quezon City. In 1967, the construction of the first two buildings of the school (Xifré and Clotet) were supervised by Miguel Mialet, CMF. Santiago González, CMF was the first school director.
Under his guidance the school quickly grew to include the Intermediate Grade School Department in 1968 and the High School Department in 1972. In the 1970s the school included an upgrade of the old covered court into today's gymnasium, and the Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish church.
In 1981, González was replaced by Julián Mateos, CMF; Jesús Vásquez, CMF; Emilio Pablo, CMF; Luis Fernández Rey, CMF; and Domingo Moraleda, CMF. From 1981 until 1995, the school was transferred under the supervision of Enrique Coralejo, a lay director.
The 1990 earthquake forced the school to make reinforcements to the main buildings. During the same decade, the Sala building was completed as the last of the five main buildings of the campus. The Vilaró, Fàbregas, and Sala buildings were then built in 1990's. From 1995 until 2001, Agapito Ferrero, CMF was the school director.
In 2001, Felimon P. Libot, CMF became the first Claretian priest of Filipino descent to be assigned as school director and was superseded by Salvador G. Agualada, CMF in 2006.
In 2007, the school celebrated its 40th anniversary and the TLE building was completed.
In the middle of SY 2008-2009, the former School Director, Domingo Moraleda died on a fatal accident at Mabalacat, Pampanga.
In 2009, the school director was Eduardo Apungan, CMF which he took office on June 1, 2009. Apungan was then superseded by Renato Manubag, CMF in 2010. In May 2013, Very Rev. Christian James DL. Castro, assumed the Directorship of the School , in 2017 Very Reverend Fr. Efren Limpo assumed position as the 14th School Director of Claret School of Quezon City
The first elementary graduates completed their studies in 1971, while the pioneer Highschool Class graduated in 1975 with 38 students. A plaque with the Names of the first 38 Highschool graduates of Claret can be seen in the Main Lobby of Claret.
