The Municipality of Rodriguez (Montalban), Rizal, in consortium with the Department of Education, worked hand-in-hand to establish public elementary and secondary schools in all barangays of Rodriguez. Eventually, the number of secondary graduates increased. In response to the need, the Local Government created and established the Pamantasan ng Montalban, now known as Colegio de Montalban.

Colegio de Montalban is an institution of higher learning geared towards uplifting the Montalbeños from poverty and ignorance to highly skilled professionals ready to face with competitiveness in the fast changing world. It is the dream of every CdMian to excel and be competent in every endeavor he undertakes imbibed with character and values that will make him a well-rounded citizen and more adaptable to the competitive world.
