Progressive Schools in Manila

One of the major challenges parents face with growing children is their lack of proficiency in both oral and written communication. It’s not that the students don’t know what to say – it’s how they say it that’s often the problem.  Complicating issues further is the challenge to speak near-flawless English, as the Philippines is known for being an English-speaking country. People who do not pronounce English words properly are often looked down upon by those who can, and they get laughed at when they commit grammatical errors.  The same is true for those who misspell English words and those who cannot write perfect sentences and paragraphs in English. Because teenagers cannot express their thoughts and ideas fluently, they tend to just keep quiet and not participate in discussions in the classroom and real-life conversations. Common communication barriers There are numerous communication barriers that a progressive high school in the Philippines must resolv...

Schools are a dime a dozen in the country, which is why picking a high school where you can enroll your child can be difficult. Of course, factors such as location and budget are always a priority, as well as the quality of education and the credentials of the teaching staff and school administrator, are taken into consideration. When choosing the right high school for your child, you should not miss out on one very important factor – learning delivery, and if schools are able to adjust their teaching techniques so that the specific needs of your child are met. That is the biggest selling point of progressive schools, which are on the rise. A progressive high school: Builds your teenagers’ confidence Traditional schools can force values that may stifle your teenagers’ development, such as having a too rigid dress code or forcing them to learn skills that may not benefit them in the long run. Traditional high schools are also known for being extremely strict discipli...

A progressive high school gives students a safe haven during their exciting high school years. High school is one of the most memorable and most challenging periods in any student’s life. This is because students have to cope with many changes physically, mentally, and emotionally. They have to deal with puberty and the many changes it brings – the growth spurts, weight gain, development of body parts, and hormonal changes, among others. Just like in coming of age movies, this is when the glasses and the braces make a debut, as well as the time when students get their first crushes, when they start to get social and make friends (and inevitably, frienemies), and get a dose of a lot of firsts – first night out, first dance, first soireee, first sleepover, and first outing, to name a few. This period is tricky because, apart from it being very exciting what with all the firsts, this is also when a lot of insecurities pop up, and it is very important that these insecurities are kept ...

As you all know, the –ber months are upon us. You know what this means – Christmas is just around the corner, and everybody – students, teachers, and parents – are all looking forward to the long vacation! In fact, the vacations have already sprouted up, what with the consecutive long weekends we’ve been having. While these mini vacations are always welcome, as it allows students to get their much-needed and well-deserved rest from school activities, one can’t help but be concerned that all these breaks from school can distract them from their academic activities.  It can be tricky to go back to having a learning mindset when they come from long weekends filled with out of town trips and days of spending time in the mall or playing their favorite video games. The key to keep them from being totally distracted? A good dose of motivation and a progressive curriculum that ensures they stay productive even during their breaks. The beauty of having a progressive curriculum is ...

Parents always want what’s best for their children. They would work from dusk till dawn only to provide their children’s needs. One of these needs and perhaps the most precious thing that you, as a parent, can give your child is education. Here in the Philippines, basic education is mandatory – that includes elementary, junior high school, and senior high school. While the government provide free basic education for all the children, such institutions usually have limited resources. As a result, it is hard for your children to realize their full potential. Children will always be special to their children so they need a special school to develop their special skills. Choose your key They say that education is the key to success. This is true so you need to choose your children’s school wisely. You cannot simply base it on how much you can easily afford, on its location, or the school’s advertisement. You will leave your kids in your chosen institution for most of their wakin...
