About us

The Interworld Colleges Foundation, Inc is a private learning institution devoted exclusively to the service of knowledge, abilities, skills, and values.  This school is owned and managed by Madame Eleanor Contreras Coliamco under the administration and supervision of her daughter Mrs. Mary Ann Coliamco Pabalan. ICF, Inc. is a non-sectarian school; however, one of its sound objectives which is to mold every learner into a God-loving individual remains foremost.  Indeed, the college. respects every religious denomination.  ICF is under the supervision and control of three (3) government agencies, namely: Commission on Higher Education (CHED), Technical Education Skills Development Authority (TESDA), and the Department of Education (DepEd).

This school was first named as Interworld College of Technology, Inc. (ICT) on April 16, 1991 with five (5) members of the Board of Trustees, namely: Eleanor C. Coliamco, President – Julio C. Coliamco, Vice President – Atty. Cherry C. Coliamco, Secretary – Mary Ann C. Pabalan, Treasurer and Aurora C. Domingo, Member.  Initially, ICF was only a technical – vocational tertiary school with a meager number of students. In 1995, the name of the school was changed to Interworld Colleges Foundation, Inc. through legal process.  Madame Eleanor C. Coliamco was designated as President by the Board of Trustees.  She assumed the presidency of this educational institution on April 16, 1996.

Government recognition was secured from the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and Technical Skills Development Authority (TESDA) for the full operation of the degree programs like Bachelor of Education (BSED), Bachelor of Elementary Education (BEED), Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (BSCS), Associate in Computer Technology, Bachelor of Science in Accountancy (BSA), Bachelor of Science in Business Administration – Major in Financial Management (BSBA – Fin. Man.) and TESDA courses like: Computer Programming, Computer Secretarial, Computer Hardware Servicing, Food and Beverage Services, Electronics, and Auto Diesel Mechanics.

In the school year 2000-2001, a remarkable increase in the number of enrollees prompted the management to build additional classrooms in a separate structure adjacent to the main building.  Every year thereafter, significant increase in enrollment was quite observable.

In 2006, the number of classrooms could no longer accommodate the expanding school population.  In order to address the classroom shortage, the Board of Trustees convened and decided to construct a three (3) storey school building on a nearby site, just few meters west of the main building in January 2008.  Upon its completion in May 2009, it was equipped with modern facilities and amenities.  It consists of fourteen (14) instructional rooms, four (4) computer laboratories, a library, a faculty room, three (3) administrative offices (school president’s office, school registrar and cahier’s office, and the director’s office), restrooms for boys and girls in every floor level, a school canteen, and a medical clinic on the first floor level.

The new building was occupied at the beginning of school year 2009 – 2010 housing all college students.  An additional speech laboratory was installed in 2010.  In the same year, the Human Resources Department was created as suggested by CHED Office during their visitation.  Likewise, the Research and Community Extension was created also as required by the CHED Officials who evaluated the school.

During the school year 2011 – 2012, the management hired an additional department head, the Dean of the computer department who reorganized all computer programs (Computer Science, Computer Programming, Associate in Computer Technology, Computer Hardware Servicing, and Computer Secretarial) into one department and named it as College of Information and Computer Studies (CICS).

Considering a popular request of the students and parents as well, the school management applied for the opening of additional TESDA programs in school year 2012 – 2013 congruent to the existing Food and Beverages NC II Program.  So, upon the completion of all the requirements in May 2013 and after the inspection and auditing of the facilities by the representatives of TESDA Provincial Office, the assessment and evaluation of the requirements was rated “outstanding” for each of the three (3) laboratories.  On the first week of June 2013, the school was granted a permit to open three (3) additional TESDA Programs, namely: Bartending, Front Office, and Housekeeping.  The certificates of program registration for the three (3) courses were signed by TESDA Regional Director on June 27, 2013.  Since then, the Food and Beverages Services NC II was enhanced to Hotel and Restaurant Services comprising of four (4) programs.

In cognizance therefore of the responsibility as an institution of learning in molding young learners and in developing them for their eventual place in society, ICF, Inc. strives to perform its modest role of being just a little tooth in the whole educational system.  It embraces the belief that every learner can learn with confidence.  It takes the challenge to share in the task of nation building by continuously upgrading its capacity to provide and render services expected from it through enlistment of competent teachers and providing quality education to students.
