ETON INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL RISES INSIDE THE PRESTIGIOUS GROUNDS OF CCP

We always hear this: the encouragement and support among parents for the learning activities at home combined with parental involvement in schooling is critical to their children's education. Isn't it ~if you are already a parent, we all know that when you become one —having to decide as to where you would enroll your child is one of the biggest and the hardest decisions in our lives?

That's why we always gotta' make it right. Yup. No mistakes talaga dapat.

Eton International School-CCP is the first world-class learning institution to rise inside the prestigious grounds of the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP). 

Eton International School CCP stands proud being situated just near Folk Arts Theatre, Coconut Palace and bordered in the south by the Manila Bay.

“ETON is the school of the future where learning happens beyond the four walls of the classrooms. It is a place where kids will feel safe to learn, grow and multiply their talents exponentially,” ~ Ms. Jacqueline Marzan-Tolentino, Eton International School Directress.

ETON has three pioneering programs—

• Center for the Talented and Gifted for the pre-schoolers
• Center for Leadership and Performing Arts for grade school and 
• Center for Technology and Innovation for high school.

“What sets ETON apart is how we nurture the leadership potential in each child. Our mantra is every child is a leader and every child can be a hero waiting to be unleashed. We take time out to know about the child’s strength and weaknesses so that we can match our teaching style to our students’ learning style. This allows the students to learn, faster, better and higher. Eton International family culture allows students to grow and create better relationships in their family and community. It only takes love to break all barriers in the mind, heart, and soul. With our multiple local and international programs, each child is given the chance to find his gifts, strengthen their resiliency and build their confidence,” Tolentino adds.

ETON EDUCATION

Eton school philosophy is that “Every child is born with Royal Dignity.”

“We believe the gifts and calling of each child is irrevocable. A child’s worth is built in. It is our mission to open their mind to possibilities, strengthen their competency and skills and inculcate values that will set them for life,” she adds.

Eton’s motto is Artes (Heart), Scientia (Mind) and Intelligentia(Will or Spirit).

“Every child is nurtured to inspire, to innovate and to lead a life in honor of God and service to humanity. Every Etonian leads with humility, courage and heart,” Tolentino said.

Eton prides itself of its small class size that allows them to focus on the development of each child’s multiple intelligence, especially in the crucial foundation years. Tolentino describes this as strengthening their roots to allow the children to be resilient as they grow and bloom and ready to conquer the world.
