More than half of my life was spent in this school--kindergarten, grade school, and high school…read more While I pretty much dropped the whole Catholic institution as soon as I graduated, I look back on the rest of my education with gratefulness, sentimentality, and affection. What distinguishes St. Paul from other schools is its determination to bring up well-rounded girls. Yes, the importance of academics is highlighted, but in all my years there, our teachers and headmistresses never failed to remind us that art and culture are important too. Off-campus broadway shows and other cultural immersions were the norm, and in retrospect we were so fortunate to have been exposed to those things growing up. Music appreciation is also incredibly prevalent in the school. While other schools have one alma mater song, we had AT LEAST five. That's not including Marian songs we'd sing all throughout the month of October. Often, the morning rites included a religious song taught to us by experienced music teachers who had so much passion for teaching their chosen subject. Having been part of the choir for three years in high school, I had the pleasure of being under the tutelage of conductress Mrs, Sheila Fetalvero. Fondly called Mommy B, she was the mother hen to the MAC (Music Appreciaton Club) Choir. The club is called differently now, but in many choral and glee club circles, it's so prominent that it's still referred to as MAC to this day. St. Paul may not agree with all my religious beliefs, but it was an excellent place to grow up. I would be happy to send my own children there.

I am a pre-school, grade school, and high school graduate of this school and I've seen it grow and…read morechange over the years the same time as I have. This school boasts for a lot of things, it has great facilities, great programs both academic and extra-curricular, and has an advanced curriculum compared to other schools. It's also internationally accredited by WASC or the Western Accreditation for Schools and Colleges and has continuously received only the top honors from PAASCU. Everything about this place claims excellence but from experience I've seen it's mostly just talk. The facilities here are great and the extra curricular program is top notch but it's the academic offerings that have caused trouble now that I'm in college. Frankly the whole "advanced" curriculum did nothing to help my friends and I in college, it did nothing to boost the number of passers into different colleges and did nothing to help us get higher grades either. The advancement certainly did not deliver the results we were all expecting. But aside from that the teachers and staff at this school are great and really good at what they do.

And this can happen through home-school collaboration, which is best achieved through mentoring. The commitment of partnership among parents, teachers and students helps build a unity of values at school and home - making education truly integral and dynamic.  Our mentors do their best to form young minds and hearts. Conscious of their pivotal role in promoting home-school collaboration, they first seek to acquire the Christian ideals they wish to instill in their students. They also value and pursue continuous professional development as mentors. With dedication and patience, they strive to acquire a deep and thorough knowledge of their mentees, so as to form each mentee in the proper values.Through their amiability, warmth, and understanding,they gain the confidence of their mentees and the parents. They are effective contributors to family solidarity.

I graduated around 2-3 years ago, and when I looked up this school on Google, I see that they have…read moreturned their reviews off. So here I am, writing my review on Yelp. They call themselves a "Montessori" school, yet they rush their lessons and the students. The tuition is expensive, yet most of their teachers are fresh graduate, not yet licensed, and usually quit after a year or two. The faculty doesn't even try to protect their students from bullying, abuse, defamation, and other kinds of harm. Even the teachers are part of the problem. Most teachers also show their bias and favoritism towards students. They don't want to take responsibility for all the issues happening within school grounds and outside issues which involve their students as well. All they try to do is hide their problems to keep their "perfect" school and "perfect" students kind of act. They have faulty utilities like a decorative elevator which they only turn on during parent-teacher conferences, restrooms that always flood, and air conditioners full of dust. Security system is horrible. According to a few of my old acquaintances who still study here/have recently graduated; A grade 7 student was able to bring liquor, cigarettes, and a firearm to school without anyone noticing. The person who noticed/did something about it was another STUDENT. SUMMARY: Horrible time management. They don't follow the Montessori approach. They rush lessons and students. Understaffed. Majority of teachers are fresh graduates and not yet licensed. Favoritism among students. Teachers have obvious biases. Faulty utilities. Decorative elevator, dirty restrooms, and dusty air conditioning. Weak security. Students are able to bring contraband into the campus. I hope this school starts to accept criticism and fix their system.

UP Integrated School is the lab school of the College of Education, and where most students…read morepractice their internship. Admission is pretty stringent here. They only admit 100 kindergarten students on which 60% are children of UP faculty/staff, and they have to go through an entrance examination and interview. Plus, graduating high school here is not an assurance that they'd get in UP as college students. PROS: No tuition fees plus quality education. Need I say more?; They have some of the best elementary school teachers I've seen and known. A number of my professors even worked in UPIS while taking their masters and PHD's. They're my inspiration in improving my craft as a teacher for young children; If you're a faculty of UPIS, you don't have to pay for your post-grad education in UP. Free tuition, aw yeah!; The kids may be a bit rowdy at times, but they're so adorable! And smart, too. CONS: Class sizes are too big for my liking; It would be awesome if UPIS would integrate special needs children in their classroom. The future is in inclusivity and they should be leading the way; It's not completely free as you have to pay for their modules. TL;DR: UPIS K-2 has quality and affordable education that a lot of people may want to consider for their children.

This was the only school I attended that was co-ed and after that I got transferred to an all-boys school. The school had a faculty mostly composed of nuns so imagine how strict they were. I was always a conduct awardee and top of the class, just goes to show how excellent the education here was and how they closely monitor the students' behavior. The school grounds are big enough to hold programs and a sports fest. The rooms are well ventilated and not overcrowded. The school cafeteria offers an array of delicious meals for the students. I remember always buying Siopao here for recess. I have yet to visit this school once again and reminisce the good old days.

If a kid has a genius-level intelligence (not just IQ, but in a whole battery of tests), and he or…read moreshe might get bored in the typical school setup, Philippine Science High School may be their best bet at developing and making the most of their gifts. PROS: They provide allowances and student housing for their scholars (and by scholars, we mean all their students); Philippine Science High School - a government school - is under the Department of Science and Technology, instead of the others that's under the Department of Education. So expect that they have a more STEMS-concentrated curriculum, and that they don't have to conform to DepEd mandates. I hope this means immunity from bureaucratic policies most public schools are subjected to. CONS: Competition here is fierce, like legendarily. Heard of that news where a student poured mercury nitrate in another one's water jug, and the kid who drank from it had kidney failure? It was this school. Rumor has it that it was because of a scholarship that both the victim and the alleged suspect were vying for; Science high schools are generally difficult to enter as a student, but this is the motherlode. These are Mensa kids were talking about; Many are wary that the school is located along the Agham community, which is pretty notorious for high crime rates and riots. TL;DR: This is the country's literal school for the gifted (X-Men?). Philippine Science High School houses the best and brightest.

Growing up, Philippine Science High School was always synonymous to intelligent, genius, smart,…read morematalino and all the other adjectives we use to describe people who have very high grades. Back then, any new transfer from this school would always get snickers from my classmates, all thinking that the student must be a nerd and is worth copying from. While all this may sound like adolescent stupidity, it is true that students from this school are more advanced than others. Competition here is highly fierce and neither money nor stature will keep you there along with the best and the brightest students in the country. It's like a school dedicated for MENSA candidates and if your gene pool did not go in favor of high IQ points then it's best to go somewhere else. There's an IQ prerequisite involved here and it's not that easy.

If you're a job-hunter, look away since this isn't about the experience as an employee. But if you're interested in Mayfield Montessori Academy as a prospective client, then you may find this brief review just what you may need. PROS: small class size with a maximum of around 20 per class; legitimate Montessori approach, especially with its flagship classes, the kindergarten department; an intimate and involved community of students, teachers, parents, and staff; Not outrageously expensive as far as Montessori and private schools go; inclusive and non-sectarian CONS: elementary and middle school department is done with a mostly traditional approach, except for a couple of Montessori subjects; limited facilities and space; classes up to Grade 10 only at present; no student ranking. If you want an honor-student kid, tough luck on that; lots of homework TL;DR: Not a fan of big, traditional, status-symbol schools? Need a place for a kid you know that won't learn best in a 40+ student classroom? Go and give this one an ocular inspection and call for inquiries.

I'm a proud graduate of this school and I must say that I owe a lot of what I am now to my beloved Alma Mater. LSM provided me with the holistic development that every young gentleman deserves. They did not just focus on the academic but in the other equally important areas as well. I enjoyed being an athlete which I owed to the extensive sports program of the school. Not only did the school help me become a knowledgeable and skilled individual but it has also inculcated in me values that I can manifest and share for the rest of my life. So if you have a school-age son or nephew, look no further. Be our brother and enroll now.

I am a proud alumnus of Lourdes School of Mandaluyong, but in this review, I won't be talking about how my school molded me into becoming a bearer of peace and goodwill to all men. I am here to talk about the school's facilities, which actually makes it a conducive place for learning. All classrooms in this school (both primary and secondary) are air conditioned. One classroom has an estimated maximimum capacity of 40 people. They also have computer and science laboratories for effective learning. For physical education classes, Lourdes School of Mandaluyong has two gymnasiums that could easily accommodate more than 150 people. They also have a swimming pool and a huge football field for annual sporting events. They also have a huge theatre for film viewing and awarding ceremonies. Parents should consider this if they are looking for a school that can provide quality education and holistic formation for their sons. PS: You can rent their swimming pool/ gymnasiums every weekends
