Dominican School Manila, founded in 1958, is a private Catholic basic education institution run by the Congregation of the Religious Missionaries of St. Dominic in Sampaloc, Manila, Philippines. The school is located near the University of Santo Tomas. DSM is also one of the schools, colleges and universities that opened its door to the Senior High School enrollees in 2016. These students were assisted by the Voucher Program of the Department of Education and the Fund for Assistance to Private Education (FAPE). The school was founded in June 1958 by the Mission Siaters in response to the need to provide Catholic education to the children who live in the vicinity of UST. More equipment and materials were procured for the use of the pupils and the staff. Academic programs were evaluated and revised. Assignments and teaching loads were also examined to find out whether the pupils were receiving the best instruction. In School Year 2006-2007, DSM started classes for the secondary education classes in the newly constructed seven-story building. In June 2010, DSM made the decision to adapt the Alternative Learning System Program to assist out-of-school youths who desire to finish Basic Education. Now the campus is closed due to the pandemic, and its students instead learn through SCHOOLOGY for grade school students, ARALINKS for high school students, a website to continue their education.
