2. It is our prayer that those who join with us will find great
truth in the Scripture that says:
Proverbs 4:7 – “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get
wisdom: and with all thy getting, get understanding.”
Psalms 111:10 – “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of
wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his
commandments: his praise endureth for ever.”
Proverbs 1:7 – “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of
knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.”

18. It is not unusual for a student’s version of a problem to vary
from that of his authority. We call this “slanted news”. Our
policy is that we promise not to believe everything your child
tells us about you and your home IF you will also not believe
EVERYTHING that they tell you about what goes on at
school. It is our desire to keep the lines of communication
totally open. If, therefore, you have ANY question, no matter
how seemingly insignificant, please do not hesitate to speak to
your child’s Supervisor or Monitor.

of proper and positive behavior, attitudes, special
projects, academic achievements, and Christ-like
behavior.
MOTIVATION

20. Every time a student satisfactory completes
a PACE he receives a star on his Progress
Chart and is given a Congratulations Slip
which he takes to his parents to inform
them of his achievement. Parents have an
excellent opportunity to encourage and
compliment the student at this time.

CLOSED CAMPUS
POLICY

28.  Visitors are welcome!
 A visitor’s pass may be obtained from the
school office before entering any of the
Learning Centers
 “Yayas” and parents of the children are not
allowed inside the Learning Center during
regular class hours.

29. For students, school uniforms will be
worn on Mondays, Tuesdays, and
Thursdays. Wednesdays, are free days
wherein the child can come in any
comfortable but respectable attire, and
Fridays, when the children are made to
come in their PE Uniform.

30. ACADEMIC PROJECTION
In the School of Tomorrow curriculum, students graduate
when they have completed the requirements (both
Philippine and International). For Elementary students,
they should have completed 1072 and above. For High
School students, they should have finished 1144 and all
the elective subjects. It is therefore possible for a student
to graduate before age 16 or anytime thereafter. The policy
here is that the Fast Learner is never held back while the
slow learner is never left behind. Each student proceeds at
this own PACE.
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS

31. Maintaining open communication with our parents is very
important to us. Monthly letters, statements, bulletins, and
other notes will be sent home in these envelopes. They are
to be signed and returned the following school day.
The reasons we use this system are:
1. We want to know both parents receive the
communication.
2. Students are taught to be dependable.
3. Few letters are lost or misplaced.

32. Those who have not settled their accounts at the
end of each quarter will not be allowed to take
the Quarterly Conventional Exam and will not
be allowed to take home their Progress Report
Card. Thus, it is highly encouraged that accounts
be settled prior to each Quarterly Exam.

33. When a student needs to be withdrawn from the school,
proper procedures begin in the office of the registrar.
All accounts must be settled before any Progress
Reports or Transcripts (official or non-official) will be
released. Transcripts are normally requested from the
receiving school to school. PACEs previously paid for
but not yet accomplished by the student will be sent
home to the student because it is considered his
property already.
