LPU Cavite

Lyceum of the Philippines University prides itself on its long and rich tradition of academic excellence through the legacy of its founder, Dr. Jose P. Laurel. Dr. Laurel, the only Philippine President to have served in all three branches of the government was a successful lawyer, legislator, constitutionalist, jurist, writer, scholar, statesman, philosopher, and above all things, educator. With his admiration for knowledge and his appreciation of classical thought, Dr. Laurel named the school Lyceum of the Philippines after Lykeios, the site in ancient Athens where the great philosopher Aristotle nurtured the minds of his protégés. The school’s motto, “Veritas et Fortitudo, Pro Deo et Patria,” reflects Dr. Laurel’s belief in the value of learning and character formation for God and country. From this legacy, a young and thriving university, Lyceum of the Philippines University – Cavite, was established in 2008. Within a few years, the university immediately gained global reach and recognition. We are dedicated to first-rate education while making groundbreaking discoveries.
