We are talking about GRADE SCHOOLS HERE right? Obviously, this is NOT for preschools. The preschool who added this previous comment is just out to promote the PRE-SChool. Hello.
Hi, do you know how to go to Keys grade school from Edsa? Are there jeepneys passing through that place?
Hi,
I am also scouting for preschools with tuition of 20K or less. Do you know good schools within my budget?
Thanks in advance.

Sad to say, from my experience, there are no progressive grade schools. Only progressive preschools. These "progressive grade schools" may hint or show a little of the progressive method but they still have lots of homework, they have grades class cards, they teach subjects traditionally, the kids still need tutorials and they have quarterly exams. Ask them.
To the one who commented "Sad to say, from my experience, there are no progressive grade schools...". I don't think you know much about the difference between progressive schools and traditional schools. Of course, they have homeworks and classcards in progressive schools. The difference is the "method of teaching". In progressive schools, kids are encouraged to be "pro-active" and "expressive". Kids are not "suppressed" like in traditional schools. In traditional schools (I went to a Catholic one), kids are taught to sit down and listen and only speak up when asked or pointed out by the teacher. In progressive schools, kids can "actively participate". Progressive schools are also open to accepting kids with "social" or "learning (NOT intellectual)" challenges. Examples of "SOCIAL challenges" are ADHD and autism. Tradtional schools are not open to accepting kids with that SOCIAL challenge. Both cases are SOCIAL challenges NOT intellectual challenges. Sad to say, a lot of Filipinos are not aware of this. Some of the most successful people in teh world today have overcome ADHD and autism. Those are some of the differences between progressive and traditional schools. Believe me, there are progressive grade schools. My daughter happens to go to one, which is a progressive international school. I like the fact that she does not look at her friends or classmates in her school who have ADHD or autism are "kids with challenges". She simply relates to them as "people" or "friends" or "classmates". And I am very happy about that. And also being in an international school, she does not label people for the color of their skin. She simply sees them as people. However, if there is a "drawback" to progressive schools (if you wish to call it a "drawback") is that the tuition fee costs a lot more than traditional schools. BUT the good thing is class sizes are typically small, as in 15 students, which means the child gets maximum attention and teaching from the teachers compared to a school that has a lower tuition feel but has 30 or 40 students. Do the math and you'll realize the value of the cost.
So, what's the name of this progressive international school?
Try Our Lady of Lourdes child guidance center, meridian international school.
Hi there!...Just want to inquire if anybody here knows a progressive preschool near Makati or Sta Ana area?... Many thanks!
Hi mommies! I hope you can visit Childstart International (www.childstart.com.pm) located in White Plains, Quezon City and Paseo de Roxas, Makati. The school is a pioneer in progressive education. They also have a sister school, Reach International (reachinternationalschool.edu.ph)
any progressive grade school in the south?
