The Mabini Academy

The Mabini Academy of Lipa City, Batangas, Philippines, was founded as a non-stock, non-profit corporation on June 10, 1922 by Professor Randall A. Rowley, Dean Francisco Benitez, Mrs. Paz M. Benitez, Dr. Jose M. Katigbak, Mrs. Tarcila M. Katigbak, and Miss Emilia Malabanan.

Before the war, the school occupied a large three-storey building with a library and laboratories.

In 1948 a Junior College with Liberal Arts and Normal Courses was added together with a complete elementary department.

Prior to the establishment of this school, Lipa students went to Batangas or to Manila for their secondary education.

For many years, it was the only secondary school in Lipa City and the neighboring towns.
