Isa sa pinaka underrated saint jude catholic school. Puchaa lahat ng nanalo sa math contest jan nangaling. Sinisisiw entrace sa ateneo.
Kung gusto mo wala social life anak mo jan mo paaralin.

So true, puro aral ang pinag-aatupag nila pero heto naman kung ang bata ay sobrang kulit, sa st jude sya nababagay. 101% guarantee titinu ang bata.

Yung St. Jude na kilala ko (this is just me ha), either introverted or nagwala pag tapak sa college. But i agree na they're good based on the smarts of the people i knew.
:D

+1, they are the smart people but not street smart as Xavier or ICA. karamihan ng taga xavier walang laman ang utak (no offense ah) pero street smart sila. yung mga anak ng pulitiko, business tycoon etc... dyan sila pinag-aral ng kanilang magulang. they do busines tru connections pag graduate sa college . ang mga connections nila yung naging classmates/schoolmates din sa xavier na mga anak ng mga pulitiko, business tycoon etc...

Parang gusto ko na tuloy mag tAyo ng school... He he

bro not a good idea yan better ang culto o religious sector pero magiging mortal enemy kayo ni kim henares lang nga.

Woodrose & Southridge, both Opus Dei schools should be in the list.

Plus the bond pa.

A good private grade school for me is a must, but hopefully for high school my future kids pass Pisay.

I'm an alumnus and I just submitted by eldest son's NCE application this week. I'm hoping he passes because if he doesn't I have to deal with #9 on this list :crying:

[glenn manikis]

Hindi din pala ganun kamahal yung 8,9,10... Akala ko above 150k per yr. ang hS dun...

[bloowolf]

If you are planning to send your child to an expensive school, aside from the quality of education, look at the facilities also. Kung yung buildings, classrooms, library, computers etc... ay napaka luma na, nagpapataba lang ng bulsa yung mga may-ari.

Parang gusto ko na tuloy mawalay sa anak ko at paaralin na sa Pisay. Dun naman uncle niya sa MM eh.

Puwede na kasi lateral admission sa Pisay pala ngayon.

Wala namang mawawala bro if pagtake mo siya ng NCE. Pwede siya sa uncle niya or sa dorm ng Pisay. Iba rin kasi buhay intern, they learn to be independent really early. Although sa pagiging extern, natutuo ako magcommute sa kung saan saan, regardless kung bumabagyo or bumabaha. Matututo ka rin talaga.

I have a cousin who graduated from Pisay. She discouraged her sister from going there (they didn't get in anyway). Their family would visit us sometimes and she would always bring with her study materials hehehe

Modesty aside, I am supposed to go to Pisay. I am a waitlister which qualified after some students backed out. But during that time there was snail mail only and I received the offer letter by late July. I already established myself (both acads and friends) in a State U HS so I didn't accept it.

Php600 per year lang tuition ko hahaha

Depende sa tao yan - in my batch, there were really some people who had to study a lot to stay afloat. Yung iba naman, matatalino talaga so petiks lang pero gumraduate. Yung iba, matalino and masipag and usually these are the ones who graduate with honors.

As far as I remember, I never had to pay tuition. I also had free books (you just borrow books from the school then return at the end of the year). But by far, the best part is the stipend - P1,500 per month. Of course, I didn't know how to handle money back then, so I ended up buying a new phone every few months instead of saving and investing the money.

I'm an alumnus and I just submitted by eldest son's NCE application this week. I'm hoping he passes because if he doesn't I have to deal with #9 on this list :crying:

Good luck to your kid bro, I hope he gets in! BTW, who were the notable teachers back in your day? I'd assume Ma'am Caintic, Ma'am Bernal, Sir Cips, and the like were already institutions even way before you started hehe.

I have a different experience with XS/ICA graduates. In our batch, mas achiever di hamak ang mga XS/ICA kaysa St. Jude. If they're not gunning for latin honors, they're org leaders, or perhaps even both.

The ME summa cum laude and batch valedictorian that graduated this year was from XS. 3.99 QPI (4.00 max). He was also active in our org (MEA) and ACLC so he isn't a one-trick pony.

Tiffy Uy, UP's valedictorian, is from ICA, and made headlines for having the highest GWA in post-war history. These people aren't exceptions, a lot of the XS/ICA grads I know really do well in college.

As to being street smart, not all of them are (especially ICA girls). They have sheltered lives, which they don't have to break out of since Ateneo is equally utopian. But there are some who really turn out to be good leaders and are able to maximize their connections. You can't expect them to have the same diskarte as people who came from lower economic backgrounds, but they have their way of getting things done.

Pumasa na siya NCE. Kaso hindi nga namin pinatuloy this school year. But my wife is having second thoughts lalo na nang malaman niya na puwede na pala lateral admission ngayon.

Para kasing bored sa local science hs ang anak ko. We definitely need to decide before next year.

I was following these contests the past week since one of my friends had 2 (!) of his kids join the contests. One in SG and one in China. Hati tuloy silang magasawa kung saan pupunta. Sulit naman yung pagod cuz one of them won Gold, while the other won a Merit Award. Bilib din ako sa mga bata cuz they're from Bicol (yung isa Pisay Bicol, yung isa local elementary school sa Bicol), yet they were able to go toe-to-toe with the best of Asia.

Suggestion ko talaga ipag-Pisay niyo na, lalo na if you see na he can do so much more than what his local HS is giving him. It will also increase his chances of getting into whatever college he chooses. Only drawback is he has to start with a science/math course, but pwede naman magshift later on kung ayaw niya pala talaga sa fields na yun.

Pisay bicol is really good...second only to the main campus in qc among the other pisay campuses iirc. And afaik, kailangan science related course talaga...ang alam ko if magshift to a non-science course you will be fined.

[rappp]

My little brother will be taking the pisay exam this october. Hopefully pumasa sya sa qc campus. Or kung hindi sa bicol campus since we originated from bicol naman. Its good to know na ok naman pala ang bicol campus. Having second thoughts kasi back then. If not sa quesci nlng siya hehe

[_Cathy_]

Ateneo is 150k as per my geek neighbor. His company pays for his 2 kids' tuition. Unbelievable job benefit(300k)

Where does your neighbor work Baka naman expat?

Tuition namin dati sometimes c/o my Lolo and Lola I can't expect that anymore if I have children. My parents pay annual to take advantage of the discount. I'm not sure if schools still have that until now.

I still think Ateneans are the most well rounded If I had a son, I'd send him there. I hope it's not yet coed by then.

[jut703]

From our batch of 120, there are about 20 from XS/ICA. None of them are children of politicians, but most (if not all) are children of businessmen. Not all are business tycoons, but definitely they're in the upper income classes. Most live in New Manila, with quite a few in Green Meadows, Wackwack, etc.

That's what they tell you, but honestly dami kong batchmates na nagshift or natanggal sa first course na pinasukan nila. Di naman na malalaman ng pisay yun eh.

sometimes, the kid does bad in school because he does not like the course... not because he is dumb.
maraming magulang na pinipilit ang kurso sa bata kahit ayaw nang bata..
yung bata naman, hindi masabi sa magulang na ayaw nila yun dahil ayaw nilang masaktan sina mamah at papah..
