History

Enderun Colleges was established in 2005 by business and community leaders Jack Tuason, Javier Infante, and John Suits, who had previously founded Ambergris Solutions, later known as TELUS International Philippines. They were subsequently joined by Daniel Perez, a graduate of Les Roches International School of Hotel Management, along with other business leaders and investors who helped develop the institution during its formative years.

Under the leadership of Jack Tuason, the institution launched in June 2006 with accreditation from the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), operating from Wynsum Corporate Plaza in Ortigas Center and initially offering a Bachelor of Science in International Hospitality Management program.

In 2008, Enderun relocated to its permanent campus in McKinley Hill, Taguig. During its early years, the institution expanded its partnerships and academic offerings while developing its hospitality and business education programs.

In 2010, Enderun launched its Bachelor of Science in Entrepreneurship program, followed by its Bachelor of Science in Economics program in 2015.

In 2017, Udenna Corporation, led by businessman Dennis Uy, acquired Enderun Colleges as part of its diversification into the education sector.

The institution subsequently expanded its academic offerings to include senior high school education, architecture, interior design, and multimedia arts.
