You forgot about Faith Academy
Hi Evan, it's been awhile due to the move and finally getting back on track to catch up on your very informative blogs. I became aware of ISM and BSM several years back, but didn't know about their locations in BGC. I'm glad that you created this blog for the 3 international schools. I'm a teacher-educator but in college and university levels and looking forward to your Part 2. As for the 3 international schools, I am highly recommending them. Thanks for sharing 👍.
Very interesting! Keep doing different type of videos than others
Very very nicely done. I salute you.
Another awesome video!!!
Thank you!
By the way where did you and your siblings end up going to school?
Good grief- that’s college level tuition here in the US. I pay $30,000 year for my daughter’s college at University of Massachusetts - Amherst, which is far larger than the ISM campus. No way am I paying that for high school education! I’d rather let my children go to De La Salle Zobel in Alabang or La Dalle Greenhills or even Ateneo instead.
Exactly, those schools are over rated.
Choosing the right school for your children is super important. Those who become leaders in the community or the country for that matter
Come from a few select schools in metro manila.
Look at the billionaires list in the philippines and you will see the obvious. They are educated by jesuits or christian brothers .
The two rival schools in manila.
Additionally, if you look at top executives and business owners, you may not be surprised why they are in such choice executive positions.
FYI, the bulk of the students are from rich families that won't bat an eye to spend $28,000 on a Gucci bag. The second group of students are from Expats with housing and living allowance (which might include education allowance) so they can easily afford the tuition fees.
how are you so rich sir
I nearly fainted but if you account for the smaller monthly mortgage and lower cost of living (i live in San Jose, CA) as an expat, you can still come out ahead without being ultra rich .
I’ve been waiting for this videos for months. Thx u
Sure thing. Hope you enjoy!
Thank you very much, dear friend!
💙★🤍🙏🤍★💙
this i very interesting.. hi, we are planning to move to pH with the kids.. my husband wants them to follow the same german curriculum. GESM in parañaque is the the only german school i found so far.. can you maybe please have this topic on your coming videos.. if ever u can do better research, i appreciate it a lot! stay healthy and informative 😉
Thank you for the information very helpful.
how about Chinese international school bgc ?
Interesting, I’ve never heard of Everest Academy Manila or it being an international school. I only know of International schools often mentioned such as ISM, BSM, Brent, Southville, CIS, CISM, and EISM.
ISM, BSM, and Brent are considered the big 3 and most expensive though I consider ISM and BSM to be prestigious schools in the country. On a small note, not all international schools in the Philippines are legit international schools.
Excellent savvy
Thanks Pat
People need to understand that the meaning of quality education from the perspective of people with money and those who do not have money are totally different. People with money send their kids to BSM and ISM because of academics under a British or American curriculum with a global mindset, the afterschool activities, facilities such as art, music and kiln rooms, dance and drama studios, a theatre, an amphitheater and climbing wall, etc. The tuition of close to Php1.5M per year does not bother the people with money. They will not admit this but another factor for people with money is that they want their kids to associate and study with kids with money as well; it is part of the premium they pay. The Filipino kids studying in BSM and ISM will eventually inherit the business empires of their parents and be on top at the same time. These kids with money who grew up and educated together will create synergies when its time for them to lead. When that happens, they will hire the best students from other Philippines schools mentioned by others like Ateneo, La Salle.
Mindset for intrepreneurs kids associated with community who has the same level. AGREE
Evan, I want to know what school you and your brother attend - is it any of these or is it a Philippine public school?
this is one of my biggest questions, I am was also wondering about Cebu expat schools, You channel is really wonderful and I have learned so much here, good work sir
CIS here in Cebu is comparable to the first school mentioned in the video. I would love to send my daughter there but the cost is ridiculous.
Hi@@daspicer1, please feel free to email us at admissions@cis.edu.ph and we can discuss fees further. We look forward to it!
That’s not too bad. I’m looking at private schools in Los Angeles and the average rate is around 35k/y.
Nice topic. Just curious.. do you still go to high school or college?
Interesting. If I had kids I would want them to get Filipino values by living and being around Filipino kids in a Filipino school. There is a good school near me I support called Assumption and it seems nice.
Assumption is an elite private school here. Those are also managed by nuns. Yeah I agree. I understand if you are foreigners planning to send your kids here. It is better to send your kids to an all english school for advantage but I guess that’s the difference with our curriculum here. GMRC or Values subject taught here starting pre-school. I’m surprised to hear from some of the comments it’s not a thing or subject to other countries.
You definitely don’t wanna pay that kind of money for college education if the individual is going to continue to live in the Philippines because because it would take you half of your lifetime to make that college money back the way wages are set up here in the Philippines I mean you need a college education just to work at jolly bees some parents will waste that kind of money on their children since Acacian but living here in the Philippines would be very tough to make it back in a reasonable amount of time
Yup might as well send them back to the US to study and then stay in dorms.
These are for the top .0001% of the population. They’re not going to work at Jollibee.
We just moved near Manila and my 10th grader enrolled in DE Lasalle. Pretty affordable tuition 120k pesos per yr.and they run by semester. Wife and I really like the school and it's curriculum. The beauty about is that she can transition easily to the college campus once she is ready.
Oh 120k for the whole year na po tuition ng kid nyo? I thought per sem then trisem sila mahal kako 😅. Ok na pala, how's the experience po? Did your kid come from abroad/int'l school po?
We're doing our research po for my 11th grader which uni could be good in th PH
its not 120k per year, it was 150k a year already 4 years ago.
Outstanding 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Was thinking of sending my daughter to Philippines to save. But I see that I t’s almost the same price. I could even supplement her learning with after school tutorials for advance courses. Not really worth it
How is it compared to the local schools?
ISM sounds great, and looks like a nice college. Lol. I am highly impressed. 💯 👍
I used to teach in one of those International School. I had to ride a motorbike taxi to snake through the traffic along Forbes Park.
You may want to feature European International School in Parañaque, a school where two units are found, the German European School Manila and the French School Manila. unique, isn't it? :)
Interesting stuff Eric, I've never heard of those schools. Thanks for suggesting.
Hello from Texas moving to Cebu city. Was wondering if you had information on good schools for kids there? Thanks for your time
USC is a good school in Cebu City
Another pertinent topic covered! keep up the good work. Could you touch upon available day-to-day activities that retired expats can participate in BGC. Could you also elaborate on the safety factors that are in place in places like BCG. Thanks.
Sure thing, I'll be sure to cover that very soon!
As far as I am concerned this video is his best. It contains real information that one can use immediately!
Would be great to find out more about good K-12 schools not just in BGC - but in Manila and other towns in Philippines
Sure thing Anton. I'll look into other schools around Manila, stay tuned!
@@TheSavvyExpat I specifically wonder - are there any decent / private schools in Dumaguete? We are consitering moving there - but I can't find any real info online
And I agree with comments below - not just international schools - but maybe good Filipino schoold with teaching in English
I agree with Anton. Are there any good, safe public schools K-12 in Manila. Do the locals who live in BGC and Makati send their kids to public school in those nice areas?
Pls try to look at Silliman University. It has a strong American tradition, established by an American educator.
If i am sending my kid in school in the Philippine, i’ll send him to Colegio San Agustin - Binan
This is one of the things I’m looking for when planning our move to the Philippines. I’ve looked at some International Schools in the Philippines and man ISM is hella expensive. But I’m sure it’s an amazing school. Do you have a Q&A video of how and why and when you guys moved in the Philippines? What school do you guys go to? I’m new to this channel. 😁
At the moment I don't have a Q & A video but I plan on making one soon hopefully! Glad to hear you stumbled across the channel, hope you enjoy the content!
My theory is that they pay in USD/GBP for foreign staff/teachers while they pay local currency for local staff hence they charge on both currencies.
I don't think that's the reason. Quoting in two different currencies is a bureaucratic mess. Thus there is either a regulatory / tax component to it or possibly their competitor started doing it so they found that it was a competitive disadvantage not to quote in the same manner. Someone more ambitious than me could call the school and find out I suppose.
the reason theres a USD and pesos charge is for legal reasons because the big fee is the franchise fee shipped off to overseas, and the smaller fee is the actual school fee, YUP, all that money you're paying is just a franchise fee
Waiting for part 2
Coming soon
I teach at ISM. Just a fyi, its not an American curriculum, its the IB and very much an international curriculum.
A piece of advice, let your kids attend a local private school or Montessori instead. Quality of education is very good but very though like in any Asian Country. English is used in almost all subjects. Values eduacation is also thought in all levels that is why Filipinos are very kind, respectful, hunble and friendly.
Naur
OUCH...LOL Thanks Evan.
Lol, thanks for watching
It would be great if you can do a university tour of the Philippines that would entice Fil-Ams to study in the country.
planning on it!
@@TheSavvyExpat Filipinos are extremely proud of their universities. There was a foreign vlogger who gathered a hundred thousand likes, subscribers, and followers because of it. Kindly do a vlog on the top Philippine universities of De La Salle University, De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde, San Beda University, University of Santo Tomas, Ateneo De Manila University, and University of the Philippines. I know you'll increase your subscribers in no time..
@@deangomez9268 Right on Dean. I posted a video on universities in the Philippines and to my suprise, it blew up! Didn't know expats where curious about this topic so I'll definitely be sure to post more!
@@TheSavvyExpat You could do a feature on the UAAP universities and the local NCAA colleges in the Philippines wanting to red shirt Fil-Am athletes from the States to play local varsity or national team sports.
Allowed po ba Jan ang pilipino
Anything similar to these in Cebu?
do your research!
All these International schools have very impressive amenities! But the tuition fees will make your entire family sleep on the street the next year.
I really love your voice 😍🤣
Thanks!
Next video…. Colleges 😁
Coming soon Nicholas!
I’m in Everest and me in one of the pics 😅
Small world!
$3-$4k a month. damn
Is there a Christian school in BGC?
Victory Christian International School (Every Nation Preschool). CCF Life Academy International is a few minutes drive away from BGC.
Meh, formal education is over-rated. 😂 I think they teach you that formal, structured education is of value. Get educated and get a good job. Basically teaching you how to become a good employee. You should focus on finance and how to invest and become financially independent as early as possible. Then do whatever you want...
harder to be successful in business if you cannot do basic math and reading comprehension but yeah no need to over pay for that, basic school should not that be expensive, one is moving to the Philippines to enjoy lower cost of living and if you are paying that much for school might as well stay in your own country!
@@kanyon_ni_mang_simeon I'm not saying don't get educated, just that you don't have to pay an arm and a leg. I have a degree from a cheap college. I studied business because I wanted to understand basic financial concepts. Then I made a life with that knowledge.
How do you become a doctor, nurse, veterinarian, lawyer, engineer, electrician as most jobs require accreditation.
@@robocop581 If that is what you want then you need that specific degree, but do you need it from an expensive University? Also, why does anyone want a specific career? Yes we need Doctors, Nurses, Engineers...Lawyers are questionable? The system is designed to make you think...education, job(30+ yrs), retire. If I asked you if you wanted to be a Doctor and get on that hamster wheel or be a multi-millionaire that doesn't require an expensive degree what would you choose? I would become the millionaire first, then pursue a passion of becoming a Doctor... :)
lol I'm so poor compare to this, I went to school in the states for free...couldn't even afford food I had to sign up for free food 🤦♀️
don't get your child into everest, they barely have bathrooms
I actually don’t recommend everest I go there the teachers there suck, they don’t care about your mental health, bullying
International schools are a con. My children went to International schools in Hong Kong, at the cost of $2000 per month per child. It was compulsory so I had no choice. An absolute rip-off. All the system provided was under-qualified teachers and a useless service. Fortunately, I am a Doctor of Education, as well as having been an examiner at IB and A-level, so it was up to me me to ensure that my kids received a decent education. Now I live in the Philippines, my son attends a Montessori School, with which I am happy. My step-daughter attends architectural school in Manila and my niece is enrolled at La Salle University, studying Pharmacy. The international school system in most jurisdictions seems to allow ridiculously inept foreigners to earn huge salaries and gain perks which they do not deserve.
However, International schools provide a multicultural atmosphere which allows expat children to feel comfortable. The demography of local high quality schools like Ateneo and La Salle may overwhelm an expat child.
As someone who currently works in an international school in Manila I can say the quality is far better than the state schools back home. Teachers have a huge opportunity for professional development and the school I am at is a world leader in education. Class sizes are about half the size of back home and the facilities are world class. The salary is better but not by much, obviously it needs to be if you want teachers to leave their home countries and work in areas that are polluted/ dangerous/ economically unstable.
Students who graduated last year went to some of the best universities around the world, so the school must be doing something right.
Diversity of the very rich.
Its an international school. Its not meant for filipino kids lol
Filipino kids can still attend. Especially wealthy Filipino kids looking for a scholarship abroad.
the "tap" 3 international schools LMFAO
I bet you would say “tough” lmfao dont be pretentious
Someone cannot be a leader if wearing an unneeded mask.
