School is considered as the second home for children. It is a place where children get to learn different things, thoughts, and ideas. This is where their imagination flows and their creativity rises. This is where they strive for excellence and this is where everything starts, most of it. About one fourth of their lives are spent in this place. This is their second home.
What ignites my curiosity aside from their curriculum is their Mentoring System. Ms. Kathleen Pineda provided us a brief about their approach, Life Coaching through Mentoring. It is a personalized educational tool. According to Ms. Pineda’s definition in the presentation, the mentor is a life coach or a mature friend. Also, on my understanding based on the presentation, mentors does not replace the parents but basically offers a genuine friendship to the mentees in order to confide simple anything. Another thing that I like is that the mentors coordinates and chats with the parents to come up with pointers or matters for the daughter.
Afterwards it was Luisa Pineda’s turn to speak as the student of Woodrose and also as the Most Outstanding Student of Muntinlupa 2012. She mentioned that she was lucky to have mentors who give their insights and other perspective in life. She even disclosed that her mentor stresses her to have a balance. I think she was referring to her academic and school activities.
Another insight about Woodrose School came from Ms. Leah Puyat who was an alumna. She says that “all the things in her life are because of Woodrose” and “she felt her worth”, an indeed word of satisfaction.
It was also further elaborated by Ms. Elinor Dioko about the mentoring system for she has been a mentor for 17 years already. How the system works and about her experiences being a mentor for that span of time.
Education is the number one reason why most parents push their children to school. We, parents, wanted the best for them and choosing the right school can really be tormenting, especially if the financial resources are not that good.
Personally, there are three factors that I (of course with my wife), as a parent, consider when choosing the school for my children, the method of education or approach, the proximity of the school from our house, and the cost of education. At least two of these factors should be met before we consider the school.
Surprisingly and I think I will consider the thought of two out of three to bring it down to one after having heard about the educational approach of PAREF Woodrose School. Yes, I know it’s a school for girls but who knows, God might give us a princess and at least I’ve learned this one. Also I did ask if there’s a counterpart for boys.
