MANILA, Philippines - What used to be JUSMAG (Joint United States Military Advisory Group) headquarters, a venue to reorganize Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and train its officers and personnel under the RP-US Military Bases Agreement, is now a campus of international students for primary education.
Eton International School-Quezon City (QC), the second Eton school, is now standing at the huge 3,200 sqm community site. Starting Dec. 3, the school offers classes to preschool, grade school and middle school.
Branded as the “school of the future”, Eton provides a school where learning is more continuous, more relevant, and more adaptive. Classrooms are outfitted with the latest in interactive technology but school climate is homey — with diverse community members building congenial relationships on a green and spacious school grounds.
The school is complete with 20 learning style facilities and 10 Multiple Intelligence (MI) outdoor adventure zones. Eton uses an international curriculum called Universal Design in Learning that allows children to have equal access and opportunities to learn and thrive in the 21st century.
Eton International School president Dr. Jacqueline Marzan-Tolentino shares “it is not an accident that we found our new home in Heroes Hills Subd., with streets named after World War II heroes and a community of distinguished residents, including Sen. Jovito Salonga, QC Rep. Bingbong Crisologo, the late TV host Joe Quirino, journalist Armando Malay, Party-list Rep. Satur Ocampo and his wife Bobbie Malay, economist Winnie Monsod, contractor F.F. Cruz and painter Jose Joya.”
“Given the rich history of this place, I am confident that this will be the school of future leaders and heroes,” Tolentino added.
Eton recognizes contemporary heroes, who are considered shakers and movers of Quezon City. Former Vice President Noli De Castro, Mayor Herbert “Bistek” Bautista, and Vice Mayor Joy Belmonte are recognized for their achievements in public service and local governance — luminaries who exemplify the highest virtues of service and serve as great inspiration to the youth.
Realizing the importance of community building. Eton gives special citation to 15 community leaders who have made significant contributions to Quezon City. In light of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and community building, Eton also awards 10 boats to its adopted organization, Philippine Funds for Little Kids, through Jay Jaboneta, the group advocate, fire starter, and chief storyteller.
