La Consolacion College Bacolod, also referred to by its acronym LCCB or simply LCC, is a private, Catholic, co-educational basic and higher education institution administered by the Augustinian Sisters of Our Lady of Consolation (ASOLC) in Bacolod, Negros Occidental, Philippines.

Established on March 12, 1919, as Colegio de la Señora de la Consolacion by three Augustinian sisters  - Sor Tomasa de la Sagrada Familia, Sor Maria Teresa de Jesus and Sor Alfonsa de la Santisima Trinidad, the college is the oldest institution of higher education in the province.[1]

LCCB offers preschool, elementary, junior & senior high school, short-term, undergraduate and post-graduate courses. The school has three patrons - Our Lady of Consolation, St. Augustine of Hippo and St. Monica.

History

Upon the request of Jaro Bishop, Dennis Dougherty, the three sisters began apostolate work in Negros due to the significant Aglipayan presence in the province. On July 15, 1919, Colegio de la Señora de la Consolacion accepted its first 86 students, 36 of whom were interns who lived in the school dormitory. It started as an all-girls school back then.

The school is named in honor of the Virgin Mary, Consoler of the Afflicted.

Organization and Administration

School administration and organization is divided into two - The Integrated School and the Schools of the College Department.

Special classes in Math and Science are offered, Advanced Math and Science to students part of the Crème Section starting from the Freshmen Batch of 2011–2012. Religious education is also implemented in the education system along with bookkeeping, animation and film making applied. A strict academic rule is followed that if students who get grades of 78 and below, but not below 76 in their report card are required to take remedial classes, and students who receive a general average grade of below 78 at the end of the year, are required to take remedial classes in the summer.

By the school year 2012–2013, a policy was pushed by the administration to utilize personal computers and the Internet in the curriculum. This policy led to the adoption of the DIWA learning system - Genyo E-learning System, which prompted the change of the classroom setting in the core subjects. Furthermore, plasma TVs and audio-visual materials used in teaching students were encouraged after the Galo wing renovation of the Integrated School Building was done. Changes in time schedules were also made - from the traditional 7:30am until 5:00pm (the most 5:30pm) class schedules, the new 8:00am–4:00pm class schedules was adopted. Wifi hot spots and public computers were installed in the college campus for students to use in their academic needs.
