St. Rita's College of Balingasag is a Filipino, Catholic, co-educational RVM institution founded in 1901 by a Jesuit Missionary, Rev.

Efigenia Alvarez, RVM, the Superior General of the Congregation, were among the first teachers.

The RVM Sisters evangelized the pupils and the parishioners with zeal and perseverance.

Clement Risacher, S.J, parish priest (1937-1949), while classroom management was delegated to M. Ma.

[1] In 1957 the full administration of the school was formally turned over by the Jesuit parish priest to the RVM Congregation.

In response to this mandate, the SRCB Administration initiated the process in the High School department during the SY 1995-96.

Using Standard Norms of the Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools Colleges and Universities (PAASCU) the self-survey was undertaken leading to the PAASCU Preliminary visit on August 11-12, 1997 and the succeeding Formal Visit in February 28-29, 2000, the result of which was a three-year accredited status.

Generosity in the service of others, especially the poor and concern for the welfare of others are values stated in the Mission Statement.

To help the academic community go nearer its goals of helping the poor, SRCB adopted two (2) communities as early as 1996-1997, namely Sitio Macario Ladera and Sitio Cala-Cala.

However, with the opening of the Mother Ignacia Skills Training Program (MISTP), a non-formal education program for the out-of-school youth (OSY) of the community, the administration decided to adopt only one community, Sitio Macario Ladera, since the latter could already stand on its own.

The Mother Ignacia Skills Training Program (MISTP) now called RVM- Technical Training Program offers ten-month courses to help the OSY learn skills in Automotive, Electronics, Practical Electricity, Tailoring and Welding for their livelihood.

Its operation started in June 1999 and is financially supported by the Mother Ignacia Development Foundation, Inc. (MIDFI).

Construction of covered walk, new school gate, guard house and modern Science Laboratory are among the improvements done in the year 2007 and 2008.
