History of CIC Founded in 1962, the College of the Immaculate Conception (CIC) is the only educational institution in Nueva Ecija with Level II Accreditation form the Philippine Accreditation of Schools, Colleges and Universities (PAASCU). It traces its roots from the institution founded by Rev. Ruperto T. Rosario, then parish priest of Cabanatuan City, when he founded the San Nicholas Catholic School in 1926. In 1936, the school was renamed Cabanatuan Institute by its then Director, Rev. Carlos S. Inquimboy. In that same year also, the Reverend Sisters of St. Paul de Chartres came and helped in the administration of the school for four years. The sisters of the Franciscan Congregation of the Immaculate Conception (CFIC) were next religious group who came in 1962 to help the school. The Sisters, now known as SFIC are still very much a part of CIC helping in the School's growth and development as an institution of learning. CIC basked with pride at the height of her academic performance and productivity as reflected in her graduates. For five consecutive years (1989-1993), the College was among the 20 top performing institutions in the Social Work licensure examinations; and from 1990-1993, belonged to the 300 top performing colleges/universities nationwide in the Professional Board Examinations for Teachers; and to promote the culture and arts with the end in view of refining the character of students, and hopefully instilling the good social and cultural values. Thus, the Tropang Lambat, CIC Filipina Dance Troupe and the members of the Madrigals for the CIC chorale was born. The cultural groups have showcased CIC talents in several occasions of the Diocese and have been invited to perform in concerts sponsored by different parishes and have joined and won in international chorale competitions. Last July 10, 2008 Rev. Fr. Richmond V. Nilo appointed as the newly president of the institution. He worked on the transfer and construction of the New Elementary Building in Sumacab Este (New Site) thereby realizing the dream of bringing together all the Basic Education and Tertiary levels in one area. His goals are to strengthen the CIC core values of Christ-centeredness, Excellence and Service; and to continue the plans of the previous president to further develop the quality of catholic education of CIC.
