Dear Parents, Families, and Guardians,
As we approach the end of the school year, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude for your continued trust and partnership — supporting our school activities, special projects, and most of all, for continuing to believe in our holistic approach to global education. Your partnership has been invaluable in helping us nurture and guide your children through this year’s journey.
Like many of you, we see the past few years as a time of rebuilding — a gradual return to normalcy not only in our routines, but also in how we care, connect, and grow as a school community. We recognize the many ways you’ve risen to meet challenges at home, at work, and in your communities — all while ensuring that your children continue to learn and thrive. Indeed, we’ve grown stronger together, and for that, we are truly inspired and grateful. Looking ahead to School Year 2025–2026, I hope we can continue building on this foundation. Let us continue to raise future leaders and nurture a community grounded in compassion, adaptability, and shared purpose.
With that in mind, I would like to share some key updates for the remainder of this academic year, as well as important dates for the upcoming school year.
Key Updates:
Adjustments to the School Calendar
In line with the Department of Education’s directive to gradually return to the pre-pandemic school calendar, we will be implementing adjustments to the end-of-school-year and school opening dates. Please take note of the following important dates and activities:

MATATAG Curriculum – Phase 2
Aligned with the Department of Education’s MATATAG Curriculum rollout, we will continue with the phased implementation for School Year 2025–2026. This means an expansion of the curriculum to additional grade levels, ensuring our students are even better equipped with the 21st century values and competencies.
Growing Stronger as a School Community
As we move forward, I invite us all to reflect on the kind of school community we are building — one that not only supports our own children, but also cares deeply for those around them. Beyond academics, it is in the small, everyday acts of compassion — looking out for classmates, appreciating our teachers, and showing kindness to the yayas, lolos, and lolas who help care for our children — that a true sense of community takes root.
When we come together with a shared sense of purpose and responsibility, we create more than just a place of learning — we build a community where every person feels valued and included. This is the spirit we hope to continue nurturing — a partnership built not just on shared goals, but on shared hearts.
It has truly been a great honor working alongside you in the pursuit of excellence in education, and we look forward to continuing this journey with you and your children in the coming year.
Your Partner In Education
MR. EMERSON O. FABABAER
Executive Head
