Schools, Universities run by SVDs

Aside from the University of San Carlos, do you know of other schools/universities that are run by the Divine Word Missionaries, also known as the Society of the Divine Word (Societas Verbi Divini)?

There are only two others. One is the Holy Name University in Tagbilaran, Bohol. The academic programs include courses in graduate school, arts and sciences, education, nursing, commerce and accountancy, computer science, engineering, and law.

The other school is the Liceo del Verbo Divino (formerly Divine Word University) in Tacloban City, Leyte. DWU was closed down in 1995 due to a disagreement with its labor union, causing severe dislocation in its region. It was reopened in 2006 under a new name.

Liceo del Verbo Divino reopened its doors to Grade 1 pupils and First Year High School students in 2007.
