Over five decades of shaping minds and building futures in the heart of Quezon City.
In 1969, a group of dedicated educators from the University of the Philippines Diliman established the Diliman Preparatory School with a singular vision: to provide accessible, high-quality education to the families of Quezon City and beyond.
What began as a small preparatory school on Commonwealth Avenue has grown into a comprehensive educational institution. In 1998, the Diliman Educational Corporation expanded its mission by establishing Diliman College (initially as DCTI), offering tertiary programs in Information Technology, Education, Business Administration, Accountancy, and Tourism.
Today, with over 2,000 students across two campuses, Diliman Preparatory School and Diliman College continue to uphold the founders' commitment to excellence — now powered by the innovative Whole Brain Learning System (WBLS).

An innovative, research-based approach that engages both hemispheres of the brain for deeper learning and retention.
Diliman College pioneered the adoption of the Whole Brain Learning System (WBLS) in its curriculum — an innovative teaching methodology that activates both the logical-analytical (left brain) and creative-intuitive (right brain) functions to create deeper, more lasting learning experiences.
Instead of traditional lecture-based instruction, WBLS uses music, art, movement, games, storytelling, and technology alongside structured analytical exercises. This approach has been proven to improve student engagement, retention, and academic performance across all grade levels.
Every teacher at Diliman is trained in WBLS methodology, ensuring a consistent and effective learning experience from Preschool through College.
