If you have ever frequented local parenting forums about schools, then you likely already know that…read moreDiliman Preparatory School has a strong emphasis on academics. Some parents have even complained the the curriculum tends to be too rigid, but in my opinion, it's just a matter of fit. There are some kids who thrive better in learning environments that are flexible and less structured, while there are kids who do better when given more rigorous lessons. I'm only familiar with Diliman Prep's Preschool and elementary programs so I can't speak for their high school levels. The preschool incorporates the Doman gentle revolution system and Singapore science and math. At this early stage, the preschoolers are already taught the fundamental computer programs in MS Office, in preparation for the elementary level's Robotics curricula. Once your child is promoted to the first grade, you have the option to enroll him in the Space Science program, which is entirely separate for the regular school curriculum. You might want to wait until the 2nd grade or even later to do this though, just to give your child a chance to first adjust to the greater demands of the elementary school before adding to his academic load.

There are two reasons why you're looking at an elementary school review: looking for a job opening,…read moreor looking for a school for a child (yours or otherwise). 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.

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.

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.

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.

I could get lost with those blocks, really. #kidatheart This would be for pre-schools, but how do you apply this for elementary and high school students? You need materials reflective of real-life skills, even if it means getting that actual thing or forming that actual environment to mimic life outside schools. Realia, in short. The Seed Montessori School proves how relevant realia can provide good education. PROS: Out of the elementary and high schools I've seen, this would be one of those with facilities that impressed me so much. Seriously, a state-of-the-art kitchen room just for TLE? They really take their realia to heart. I wanted to tinker with their oven; Although it's not as spacious as "big schools" like Miriam or Ateneo, The Seed has enough space and facilities for activities that it doesn't feel cramped; Small class sizes makes it easier for both faculty and students. CONS: TSMS is expensive, with P50,000-P60,000 pesos for tuition alone. And when you're considering paying for a private education, expect a lot of additional fees (Energy fee? Cultural fee? Looking at you, UP. And you're not even a private school) plus costs for books and uniforms and baon, of course. TL;DR: Consider The Seed Montessori School for the impressive facilities, if you have the budget.

It's my alma matter too, so shout-out to everyone who always had to walk by the urine-smelling back side of this gargantuan mall just to get to our gates. We all know how it feels, even the trike drivers. PROS: It's a science high school, so there's an extra focus on the math, science, and technology curriculum. If your kid's strengths lean on these particular fields, and you'd like free tuition (plus the P500.00 or so plus in fees) for the next few years, then give Kisay a try; Academics are given serious focus on this school. Unlike the regular curriculum, students need to maintain an average of 85 on all subjects to stay in Kisay, so you know everyone focuses on their studies. Plus, a myriad of extra-curricular activities help develop well-roundedness and leadership skills. CONS: There's an entrance exam that a prospective Xientian (Yup. That's what we call ourselves.) has to pass in order to gain a slot in this school. And that competition is fierce. We're talking about kids who took Pisay exams too, plus the now-majority of students coming from big, rich schools who are backed up with every tutorial and review center their young 12-year-old minds can take. Talk about "needy" and "underprivileged;" Being a government-run school, the issues of administrative corruption and faulty facilities are predominant, even for a science high school. TL;DR: In the end, it's still a public school. But with the help of PTA and alumni donations, and a sincerely eager learning atmosphere from the faculty and students, Kisay still somehow fares well.

They're going to need a place to change clothes in because there's not much privacy in what remains of the buildings that are still standing.

The first building to the left serves as a pretty good resting area because the outlets work, and the spot is breezier than the rest of the compound.
