Our Philosophy of Education

Our Philosophy of Education

We are committed in the role of education in the social transformation. We receive the child in reverence because we believe that every child given to us is endowed with capabilities and unique personalities and gifts. We envision the person that he is capable of becoming, and help him/her realize this through the education process.

Vision Statement

We envision an intellectually confident, emotionally mature, goal-oriented, mission directed individual, who is an apostle, a defender of the Christian truth and ideals, and a patriotic citizen who stands proud of his Filipino heritage and an agent of social transformation towards the betterment of humanity.

Mission Statement.

In our love for wisdom and our faith in the power of education to transform society, we are committed to providing an education that is:

· centered in the love of God

· inflamed with deep love for the country

· focused on the innate abilities and natural inclinations of the learner

· geared towards the development of the total person: his intellectual, psychological, emotional, moral, social and physical powers

· aimed towards the formation of a conscientious, proactive, and law-abiding citizens of our country

· prepares the learner to face the various problems and realities of life

When I put up my school, these are the core beliefs:

Deus. Intellectus. Conscientia. Voluntas. Actio.

God. Intellect. Conscience. Will. Action.

Multiplying numbers





This is what I taught Angela and her classmates last year. The one she taught to her older cousin, who taught her teacher in a public school in Malolos.

Some people might think it is better to just do it the long way - the traditional way. But it is kinda cool to do it this way. More so if the numbers get bigger. Like if there are 12 digits etc. which could not fit in a calculator.

I don't know what it's called (Lattice square? whatever). I picked it up from Dr. Joey from UPLB, during a seminar with FHMS and Ayala Centex.
