School History

St. Nathanael Academy is a Catholic Institution in Magalang, Pampanga belonging to the Archdiocese of San Fernando. It is presently run by the secular, religious, and laity of Magalang.

It was established on June 2, 1987 as the first legitimate formative mission school in Magalang through the intercession of the Holy Spirit who moved the members of the Core Group of the Parish of San Bartolome (Nathanael) led by Rev. Fr. Nolasco Fernandez, who believed that a school is an agent of evangelization. SNA is located near the Parish Church, in the heart of the town proper.

Sensing the need for quality education among the children of Magalang and the numerous families who migrated to this town as a result of the onslaught of lahar, the family of the late Don Claro and Doña Pilar Feliciano, through their daughter, Sr. Teresita Feliciano, R.G.S., donated the first amount to start the construction of a school building. Many kind-hearted Magaleños followed suit and made donations to finish the building.

A Catholic School is indeed an agent of formation and evangelization. The increase in the school population this year serves as an impetus to look forward with hope and reach out for better solutions to the growing problem of an early formative mission school for children.

With an increased enrollment, the need to expand has become imperative. And again, kind-hearted and benevolent people took the initiative of donating to build additional rooms. God always provides and in spite of financial constraints, six new rooms finished before the opening of the school year.

Through the support of many concerned Catholics, SNA shall stand the test of time and shall continuously move forward with the clear goal of providing the best for students.
