Alapan 1 Elementary School is considered a very large elementary school. It offers Kindergarten to Grade 6, Alternative Learning System (ALS), and Special Needs Education. Also, it features an inclusive, efficient, and conducive learning environment for learners. The school reflects the Department of Education’s commitment to the principle of Education for All.

The history of the school can be traced back to its location and natural surroundings. This place used to be a dense forest rich in natural resources. Additionally, people from nearby towns and barangays gathered raw materials from here for furniture-making, agriculture, house construction, and medicinal purposes.

Alapan I Elementary School, located in Alapan I-B, Imus City, Cavite, holds a significant place in Philippine history. The school is situated on the historic site of the Battle of Alapan, which occurred on May 28, 1898. Meanwhile, Filipino forces marked a pivotal moment in the nation’s struggle for independence by unfurling the Philippine flag—sewn in Hong Kong by Marcella Agoncillo—for the first time in victory. Additionally, the name Alapan comes from the shortened Tagalog word “Pinangangalapan,” which means “a place where people procure things”. In 182,2 people began to settle in the area.
