Not on the Department of Education’s list: it is here as OpenStreetMap names and maps it. Whether it is public or private is taken from OpenStreetMap or from its name. Something wrong?

Where OpenStreetMap has a school of this name in this town.
Mindanao State University (MSU) grew out of Republic Act 1387, approved on June 18, 1955. That law set up a "University of Mindanao" in Dansalan City, the old name of Marawi. MSU says the university was the idea of Senator Domocao A. Alonto, and that it was one of the government's answers to the so-called "Mindanao Problem". The charter was later amended by Republic Acts 1883, 3791 and 3868.
MSU was formally established in Marawi on September 1, 1961. Its first classes opened in 1962 with 282 students and 12 faculty members. Its charter gives it 3 aims: to educate the youth of Mindanao, Sulu and Palawan; to supply trained workers for the region's businesses and industries; and to bring Muslims and other cultural minorities into the mainstream of national life.
From that single campus in Marawi, MSU grew into a system of 8 autonomous campuses. These include MSU-Iligan Institute of Technology, MSU-Maguindanao and MSU-Tawi-Tawi College of Technology and Oceanography, plus 3 former CHED-supervised colleges that were later folded in. The main campus also runs a laboratory school, opened as an elementary school on September 9, 1964, and expanded into a high school (the Integrated Laboratory School) in 1978.
Classes stopped during the 2017 siege of Marawi, which began on May 23. They resumed on the main campus on August 22, 2017, while fighting continued about 2 kilometers away, and BenarNews reported that about 8,000 students came back. On December 3, 2023, a bomb exploded in the campus gymnasium during a Catholic Mass. Early reports said at least 3 people were killed and about 40 were injured. MSU resumed classes on December 11, 2023.
As the crow flies, among the schools pinned where they stand.
