Rizal established a school in Dapitan in 1893 where he taught local boys subjects like reading, writing, languages, geography, history, mathematics, and more. He taught through example and believed teachers should be role models of virtue. Classes were held from 2-4pm daily and included recreation like games to strengthen the body. Rizal emphasized teaching practical skills and developing good character in his students. He continued teaching until the end of his exile in 1896, with the number of students growing from 3 to 21 over time.

11. JOSE RIZAL’S EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY
Rizal wrote to his sister Soledad:
“I was pleased to know that you are teaching
because your position will oblige you to improve
yourself more and more in an effort to be a
model of virtues and good qualities, for one
who should teach should be better than the
persons who need her learning. “
