Program Introduction

The pursuit of making quality education accessible to Antiqueños fueled the institution’s humble beginning. By virtue of RA 857, Antique School of Arts and Trades (ASAT) was established on January 19, 1954 through the efforts of the late Cong. Tobias A. Fornier.

Upon the approval of the Act, classes were decided to be formally held immediately during the SY 1954-1955. Sibalom Elementary School offered an office room for the use of the school’s administration and personnel.
