Colegio San Agustín – Makati (abbreviated as CSA or CSA-Makati) is a private, co-educational Catholic school conducted by the Order of Saint Augustine. It is located on Palm Avenue, Dasmariñas Village, Makati City, Philippines. While it is not the oldest Augustinian school in the Philippines named Colegio San Agustín (that distinction belongs to Colegio San Agustin-Bacolod), it is the most prominent and famous among its namesake. The school is one of the most diverse in the Philippines in terms of nationality, with 11% of the student population coming from over 40 countries. And like its sister schools, the students of CSA-Makati are called Augustinians (Filipino: Agustino).
In 1967 the Augustinians, with the approval of the Father Provincial Santos Abia y Polvorosa, O.S.A., purchased from Ayala y Cía eight (8) hectares of land in Dasmariñas Village, Makati, with an option to buy four (4) adjacent hectares within ten years. On November 24, 1976, nine years later, they received as donation from Ayala y Cía, two of the four (4) hectares stipulated in the option agreement. In turn, they released the last two (2) hectares of land to Ayala y Cía, for the latter to sell to other parties. By then, Colegio San Agustín already owned ten hectares: eight (8), through purchase and two (2), through donation.
To organize a new corporation, the Augustinians used an existing organization, Colegio San Agustín (Bacolod), Inc. to acquire the land, agree to the option and make initial payments. Fr. Ambrosio Galindez, O.S.A. of Colegio San Agustín (Bacolod), Inc. and Mr. Miguel Ortigas of Makati Development Corporation (now part of Ayala Corporation) signed the agreements in January 1967. The agreements stipulated that within six months the purchaser must submit a development plan to the owner that would include the setting up of elementary, high school and college facilities within the area, upon which detailed plans for the buildings to be constructed would be based.
