History

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.

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

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