The first INFOTECH site was housed at the 3rd floor of Manuela Complex-3, EDSA Mandaluyong City. Due to the overwhelming response of the communities in Mandaluyong, Pasig and San Juan, and the successful testimonies of its graduates, Infotech grew rapidly. In 1991, five braches were opened: one in Boni, Mandaluyong City, San Pablo, Laguna and Lemery, Batangas. A pre-school at Regalado Fairview, Quezon City was also opened that same year.
