The School of Dr. Jose P. Rizal Site and Museum is a museum located in Binan, Laguna, Philippines. It is also the site where Jose Rizal, the national hero of the Philippines, received his first formal education.[1]

History

[edit]

The School of Dr. Jose P. Rizal Site and Museum showcases the early life of Rizal as a student. It was opened in 2016 and renovated in 2021.[2][3]

The museum also hosts a historical marker that the Philippines Historical Committee, now the National Historical Commission of the Philippines, was installed on the site in 1948.[4][5] The marker denotes the location where Rizal received his formal education under Justiniano Cruz, who was also the teacher of his brother Paciano.[5][6] The school was a small hut, which also served as Cruz's house.[2]

For a year and a half, Rizal learned Spanish, Latin, painting, and other classes.[3][7] After attending school in 1871, Rizal continued his secondary education at the Ateneo de Manila University.[5][8]
