Cultivating Skills, Growing Futures
Learn, Train, and Thrive in Sustainable Agriculture!
Empowering Future Farmers
Through Education & Skills Training
Nestled in the heart of Sitio Mambong San Marcelino, Zambales, Lotus Farm School and Training Center Inc. It is duly registered at Security Exchange Commission with registration no. 20220900066527. Lotus Farm School Training Center Inc was founded with a singular vision: to empower individuals with practical knowledge and hands-on experience in agriculture, particularly in animal production.
As the first farm school in Zambales to offer the Animal Production (Ruminants) NC II program, our institution is TESDA-accredited, ensuring that our students receive training that meets national industry standards.
Due to the success of various training programs and immersion activities conducted by Lotus Foundation Inc., the Board of Trustees passed a resolution leading to the establishment of LFSATCI on September 2, 2022.
The institution operates as an educational and assessment center, offering junior and senior high school education and TESDA-accredited technical-vocational training in compliance with the Education Act of 1982, DepEd, and TESDA regulations.
Our mission is to bridge the gap between education and employment, equipping students with the skills and confidence to pursue careers in the agricultural sector. By focusing on practical, hands-on training, we not only help students secure gainful employment but also encourage entrepreneurial pursuits, enabling them to start their own farms or agribusinesses.
Beyond technical skills, we aim to instill social responsibility, ethical farming practices, and sustainability in every student. We envision a future where our graduates lead innovation in agriculture, improve food security, and contribute to the economic growth of their communities.
What Inspired the Creation of the Farm School?
The establishment of Lotus Farm School and Training Center Inc. is deeply rooted in the advocacy of Lotus Foundation Inc., a non-profit organization dedicated to community development. Over the years, the foundation has actively conducted agricultural training programs, on-the-job training, and work immersion activities for students across Zambales.
Recognizing the increasing demand for skilled agricultural workers and the lack of accessible training centers in rural communities, the Board of Trustees saw the need to create a formal institution that could provide structured education and certification in agriculture.
This vision led to the passing of a resolution to establish Lotus Farm School and Training Center Inc., which officially opened its doors on September 2, 2022.
