King's College of the Philippines (formerly Eastern Luzon Colleges – Benguet) is a private school in
La Trinidad, Benguet. Its history started in 2003 with the establishment of the
Eastern Luzon Colleges in Bambang, Nueva Vizcaya; the one in Benguet was later built in 2004. The school was founded by Rev. Kown Young Soo, a Korean missionary, who wanted to provide educational opportunities to the youth in Cordillera. Currently managed by the
Northern Luzon Presbyterian Church, KCP is committed to developing students to becoming professionals who are competent and are filled with Christian values.
At present, KCP Benguet has six academic units offering undergraduate degree courses. These are the
Colleges of Accountancy, Business Management, Information and Computing Sciences, Criminal Justice Education, Teacher Education, and
Theology. It also has a
Trade Technical Education Department offering various
one- to two-year technical courses, like Hotel and Restaurant Services, Tourism Management, and Computer Technology. There are also available
short-term technical-vocational courses for those who are interested in earning their
National Certificate (NC) in less than a year. Aside from these courses, KCP also provides basic education programs with a Senior High School (SHS) department offering the
Academic and the
Technical-Vocational-Livelihood (TVL) strands.
