For a school to legally operate, it should comply with the minimum requirements mandated by the government. However, excellence demands more than compliance with prescribed basic requisites. Being true to its mission of providing quality Catholic Education, Pasig Catholic College submitted itself to voluntary accreditation as it helps determine if an institution exceeds minimum standards. For PCC, the pursuit of excellence is an insatiable quest.
