Restiveness marked the late 1960s and the early 1970s, which led to the decision by the Benedictine monks to establish another campus outside Manila. They decided on Alabang in Muntinlupa as the site of the new campus. Construction of school buildings began in 1972 on a nine-and-a-half-hectare lot inside the Alabang Hills Village. On July 10, 1972, San Beda College Alabang opened its doors to 78 preschool boys and girls. It began as a basic co-educational school and was originally named the Benedictine Abbey School. Fr. Roberto de Jesus, OSB, who was the first Rector, supervised the growing years of the new institution. BAS opened its high school department in 1977.
