Move to Dolores

Due to the unprecedented growth in enrollment, the school had to move its grade school in SY 1994–95 to its present site in a 15,068-square-metre (162,190 sq ft) campus at Villa de San Lorenzo, Saint Dominic Corinthian Annex, Dolores, City of San Fernando, Pampanga. The preschool was transferred the following school year.

The founders of the school also wanted create a high school, but due to the calamity that devastated Pampanga and the nearby provinces on October 1, 1995, the school had to defer its plan. Instead of opening a high school, a branch was established at the L&S Subdivision, Angeles City in SY 1996–97. In the SY 2003-04 the Angeles Branch was transferred to the border lots of Holy Angel Village Phase 1 and Angeles Industrial Park. Initially, its course offerings were from nursery school to second grade. In SY 1997-98 the third grade followed, then grades four to six were added to its elementary course offering one grade after another in the succeeding school years. It had its first batch of elementary-level graduates in March 2001.

College in SLRCSS

In the 1999–2000 school year, San Lorenzo College of Education opened offering a Bachelor in Elementary Education (BEEd) and a Bachelor in Secondary Education (BSEd). Both courses offer common majors: English, Science and Mathematics. Early Childhood Education is an additional major for BEEd.

That year, the new building (an extension of an older existing 3-storey building) was also opened to students.

Further changes

In 2003 the school inaugurated the plans constructing the SLR Ecology Garden. The next school year another three-story building was completed (although in the SY 2003-04 the ground floor of the said building was already in use). Also in the SY 2004-05 a San Lorenzo Ruiz statue was inaugurated as part of the mini park - the SLRian Park.
