Hi! I have a 2-year old toddler who is attending nursery school now. However, I am already researching on some big schools that I’d like to consider for him. May I know, how much tuition is per year?
Also, will you have a campus in Taguig, or are you re-locating to Laguna. Kindly clarify.

Thank you!

Connie C, a few years back, I had a very interesting conversation with a 95-yr old man. He said, he & his friends had suggested to the young Phil gov’t (around the late 40s / early 50s) to push for the establishment and promotion of technical schools all around the country. They knew even then that we needed technically-skilled workers for the country to progress and advance. The government did not take the advise. So it is with great sadness that I say we (the country) had the chance to be in a very different circumstance

I failed to mention that one of the challenges educators in the country must face is how to educate the youth on ethical standards in the midst of the culture of corruption that is so pervasive in the country today. Hopefully, Beacon will try to make its imprint on their youngsters- in being both moral and ethical citizens our country so badly needs.

Wow! I checked out the website, the school looks awesome! I love a 12-year system versus a 10-year, if for no other reason then to delay college. I had trouble selecting a major…I can only imagine how much harder it is when one is 16 or 17. I also really love that it is non denominational; it seems a little bit harder to find here then some places. I love, love, love the brief academic outline as well as PE is included. I have been told that PE (at least in the US) is on the decline.

Major kudos for the scholarships. We have a few kids that we sponsor since moving here and have been really pleasantly surprised at the support we have received from small local private schools in terms of reduced tuition and even one case, a school that accepted a child for high school who did not meet the academic standards on paper, but who we all believe will really thrive in a private school education.

The tuition, while perhaps high for here, is still almost 1/10 of what my parents paid almost 20 years ago for private school in SF. I think (which I obviously inherited from my parents) that education is the BEST investment one can make and actually saves money in the long run as all of us in my family had either partial/full scholarships for college and one even received a full scholarship for high school boarding school. I now have a severe case of hero worship.
