iAcademy students say aye!

-
With the culmination of its very first school year now fast approaching, the Information and Communication Technology Academy (iAcademy) has so far made a good impression in the local IT education scene.

As an affiliate of Carnegie Mellon University (CMU)-subsidiary Carnegie Technology Education (CTE), iAcademy officially opened its doors in June last year to more than 70 ICT hopefuls with the promise of bringing ICT and Carnegie Mellon education at par with its line up of creme de la creme certified teachers and instructors, and through its course offerings that include CS-Software Engineering, BSIT-Digital Arts, BSIT-eCommerce, BSBM-eManagement, and BSCS-Network Engineering.

iAcademy has so far kept its promise — more specifically to the students who took a chance in a relatively new school — especially in providing a highly regarded line up of teachers.

"The teachers here are not just teachers per se," shared Rochelle Tadique, a BSIT-eCommerce freshman. "These people actually listen to you, interact with you and talk with you unlike most teachers who just spoon feed you. Plus they’re really cool and fun to be with."

Although these students have gone through extensive work in the last couple of months, still they are looking forward to also having fun in their four-year stay in iAcademy. They are especially looking forward to being part of a developing new school to create its identity.

"Besides the nice facilities, interesting people and the Carnegie education, it’s a challenge to start from ground up. Being at iAcademy gives me the opportunity to participate in building a school," said Miguel Molina, a software engineering student.
