 “We are already on our 9th year with National University and after
painstakingly studying all the aspects of education; we are on the verge of
a very ambitious expansion plan. The name “National” that is attached to
this school is quite significant for us and we intend to make it synonymous
to “nationwide”. The synergy between the school and the mall, between
NU and the SM has never been clearer as this is where education meets
accessibility.”
