History
The A. B. Simpson Alliance School started as a dream of the CAMACOP to establish a basic education program as a part of its ministry emphasis. In 1993 the programme was approved by CAMACOP and 7,093 m2 (76,350 sq ft) of property owned by CAMACOP in Zamboanga City were converted for school use. The A. B. Simpson Alliance School opened on 13 June 2000 under the management of principal Lolita V. De Sosa. During the school year 2003–2004, a computer education was introduced to the school's curriculum.
