The Lourdes School Quezon City is a private, Catholic educational institution owned and founded by the Order of Friars Minor, Capuchins in Metro Manila, the Philippines. The school is also known by the acronym LSQC, which differentiates it from the Lourdes School of Mandaluyong (LSM), its sister school.

The school is located just beside the Our Lady of Lourdes Church, more formally known as the National Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes.

LSQC is named after and devoted to the Our Lady of Lourdes, and has St. Francis of Assisi as its patron saint.

chool Program

The Lourdes School Quezon City provides four levels of education: High school, Grade school, Preparatory school, and Kindergarten. In the past the LSQC was an exclusive school for boys on all levels; however, in the late 70's the high school department took on girl scholars and in the late 90's eventually became coed.

Students who cannot afford the tuition fee (currently at Php 45,000 - 50,000) can avail of the Financial Assistance Program (FAP) of the school that offers study grants to children with good academic grades coming from low-income families.

chool Hymn

The present hymn of the Lourdes School Quezon City, Lourdes Forever, is the revised version of the original song. The original hymn's lyrics were written by Miguel Peñera, while the music was composed by Prof. Antonio Molina.

chool Emblem

The Lourdes School Emblem has the following main features:

*Three small crosses on both sides and two arms crisscrossed before a cross set against a background of clouds. It signifies the Trinitarian dimension particular to Franciscan spirituality.

*The bare arm is that of Christ who gave his life for man's salvation. The sleeved arm is that of St. Francis of Assisi, who embraced the Cross of Christ which earned him the title "Mirror of Christ". He lived a life closest to Christ's by living the Gospel literally.

*The big cross signifies the means to "Becoming Like Christ," a lifelong striving based in the heart of every Franciscan.

*The clouds connote heaven, our home and destiny, in the bosom of the Supreme God.

The logo is visible in the school's connecting bridge, the uniforms and the school's official bus.
