Jeepney Gang Information

The Jeepney Gang is an American School / International School Manila alumni organization run entirely by alumni. Our volunteers are located around the world with a large base in Manila and in the San Francisco Bay Area. The International School Manila (ISM) was founded in 1920 by a group of American expatriates in Manila as the American School. This name was changed to the International School in 1971/72 to reflect the increased diversity of the student body. The school was located on Donada Street in Pasay City and then on Kalayaan St. in Bel-Air Village, Makati City from 1960 to 2002. In 2002, it relocated to its current site in Fort Bonifacio Global City, Taguig. WHAT IS YOUR MISSION? Please read our MISSION STATEMENT. WHO'S IN CHARGE?

HOW DID YOU START? The Jeepney Gang started back in 1981. Alumni that had recently graduated got together on occasion to reunite and have fun. Although our group was always open to any alumni, for many years it resembled a small private club. Our members came and went as they pleased. We attended reunions and held our own mini-reunions. We wrote some very funny articles for alumni publications. We kept in touch. We perfected the art of chismis. And we proudly used the name Jeepney Gang whenever we got together. Things became more formal when our website was established back in 1996. In 1999 we began hosting general alumni information and forums. We promote any alumni activities we hear about so let us know if you're planning an event!
