Security & Location

When it comes to studying abroad, a safe environment and a convenient location are essential factors that contribute to both academic success and a comfortable lifestyle. Being able to live securely in an unfamiliar country is a top concern for many international students and their families.

3D ACADEMY is located in Lahug, one of the safest and most developed districts in Cebu City. The school and dormitories are housed inside the JY Square Mall, a commercial complex with complete amenities. This unique setup offers both exceptional convenience and round-the-clock security, allowing students to live, study, and relax without having to leave the building.

✅ Key Features of 3D ACADEMY’s Location & Security

️ 24/7 Security Inside a Commercial Complex

The entrance to 3D ACADEMY is guarded by on-site security personnel 24 hours a day. Security checks are strictly enforced, and surveillance cameras are installed throughout the building. Since both the classrooms and dormitories are located inside the same secure complex, students can live with complete peace of mind.

Daily Life Within Walking Distance

Inside the mall, you’ll find a supermarket, convenience store, money exchange, cafes, restaurants, pharmacies, massage shops, and more. Everything you need for daily life is just a few steps away. There’s no need for commuting — a huge advantage for any student.

Our partnered external dormitories — Prestigio Hotel, YELLO Hotel, and MIT Dormitory — are all located within a short, safe walking distance. These accommodations also feature staffed receptions and reliable security protocols.

Easy Access to Cebu’s Major Areas

Using taxis or ride-hailing apps like Grab, students can reach Ayala Mall, IT Park, or SM City Mall in just 10 to 15 minutes. The school’s convenient location makes it easy to enjoy weekend activities and after-class outings.

Peace of Mind Enables Better Focus

With its perfect blend of safety, convenience, and accessibility, 3D ACADEMY offers one of the most student-friendly living environments in Cebu.
