Lourdes School Quezon City (LSQC) is a private, Catholic educational institution owned and founded by the Capuchins in Quezon City, Philippines, beside the National Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes. The school was formerly known as Lourdes Catholic School, but was changed to its current name to distinguish it from Lourdes School of Mandaluyong. LSQC was established in 1955, starting with 11 teachers with Fr. Jesus de Ansoain as its first rector and principal.
Students and alumni of the school are called "Lourdesians" or "mga Lourdesiano," in Filipino.
The school is named after and devoted to Our Lady of Lourdes, and is under the patronage of St. Francis of Assisi.
After World War II destroyed the original church dedicated to Our Lady of Lourdes, the Capuchins built a new church in Quezon City in 1950. Four years later, Rev. Fr. Adolfo De Echavarri, superior of the Capuchins in the Philippines, along with other priests, conceptualized the creation of Catholic schools for evangelizing the community.
In 1955, the school was established. The school was built beside the then newly-constructed Lourdes Church which is now a National Shrine. As the population of students increased, a fourth floor, which now holds the rooms for grade 6 students, was added to the original building. A new building was later constructed in May 1967 for the high school department of the school. LSQC, along with other Capuchin schools in Metro Manila formed the first Inter-Capuchin Schools Athletic and Academic Meet in 1984.
The Capuchins started a Financial Assistance Program (FAP) in 1970 wherein discounts in tuition were given to students.
The high school department received its first accreditation by the PAASCU in 1992, and the grade school department in 1997. The high school department was granted a level 3 accreditation in 2007, and was once again given the same level re-accredited status in 2012.
