Philippine Science High School Central Mindanao Campus is the second Mindanao campus of the Philippine Science High School System, a special public high school in the Philippines. It caters to scientifically- and mathematically-gifted high school students from all over the country. It is located in Nangka, Balo-i, Lanao Del Norte.
PSHS-CMC was established on June 1998, and was first located in a school in Lala, Maranding, Lanao del Norte. After a few years, it was transferred to a new site in Mindanao Civic Center, Lanao del Norte and stayed there for a few years. Its office then was on the 2nd Floor, MCC Grandstand. The staff room, faculty room, computer laboratory (Com Lab), accounting office, cashier and Boy's Dormitory (Boy's Dorm) were located on the right wing (facing the field), while the Chemistry Laboratory (Chem Lab), Physics Laboratory (Physics Lab), Biology Laboratory (Bio Lab), Girl's Dormitory (Girl's Dorm), Girl's Dormitory Annex (Annex) and I-Ruby on the other wing of the grandstand. The Library, Technology Area and I-Jade was situated on the first floor. The other rooms for were located on the side of the Gymnasium (Gym). The rooms for the side facing the Grandstand are (from left to right) is III-Potassium, II-Rosal, IV-Neutron, I-Emerald and II-Dahlia. On the opposite side of the gym are the sections III-Lithium, IV-Proton, II-Kamia, III-Sodium and IV-Electron (not stated in any order). School year 2006-2007 was the last school year at this site. The school transferred to its permanent site on the summer break of 2007. The school year 2007-2008 is the first school year done in the site. However, the dormitories were not yet finished during the year so the dormitory was temporarily situated at TESDA, Maria Cristina, Lanao del Norte. The students are then transported to the school via school bus, as well as back to the dorm during afternoons. Currently, the dormitories are situated inside the school campus.

- Jade
- Ruby
2nd year
- Dahlia
- Kamia
- Rosal
3rd year
