Teacher Tina,
I need some enlightenment. Please help me. What is the difference between a progressive school and a developmental appropriate school? I’m getting good feedback about STI preschool but they’re not a progressive school.
And another, I really want to enroll my daughter to a progressive school this year, but would it be ok if I also enroll her in Kumon for reading class and another for a Singaporean Math class? Won’t that make her system confused?
I would really appreciate your response.
Have a blessed new year teacher tina!
Hi jersey mom! Sorry for the delayed reply. Im just getting back to answer the blog comments. A developmentally appropriate school is the same as a progressive school. Just make sure that all the indications that I narrated in this blog is also in the school you’re checking out. You can also check out the DAP site at the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) for guidelines.
Unfortunately, i dont have much information about Kumon or Singaporean Math. What we implement is a more hands on, experiential method in teaching math so the students can visualize and understand it more.
Hope this helps!
Thank you so much for replying. I greatly appreciate it.
You’re definitely helping many moms like me.
I’ve already checked out almost all progressive schools here in pque including Create which you recommended. The fee ranges from 40-80k. Does it really mean that the school is good if its expensive?
May I ask for your thoughts about Scholastic Literacy Program. One of the progressive schools here is licensed to have this curriculum.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge to us. God bless.
Hi Teacher Tina! Just want to check if you know any progressive schools in Nueva Ecija or Tarlac?

great site.
Hi teacher Tina! I’m doing a paper on the Traditional Education and Progressive Education in the Philippines but my poor research skills can’t seem to find a decent source. If it’s okay, can you recommend any? It seems that that the progressive education is only applied to primary and secondary education. Do you think it’s better if they apply this is colleges? what schools in the country have the progressive education? It would be of great help if you respond. Thank you so much ad God bless!

Hi Teacher Tina,
I currently enrolled my almost 4 year old son for a summer session in a traditional preschool in our neighborhood where his kuya graduated from. my worry is that he refuses to enter the classroom but is excited of going to school. he stays inside the school premises but refuses to sit down inside the classroom. i feel that he is not fit for a traditional school and i should look for a progressive/interactive learning institution for him. Can you recommend schools in the area of sta rosa laguna?
Thanks,
Annie
Hi Annie! Well, he is only 4 so all the things you mentioned is reflective of a 4-y.o. For that area, the only school I went to was Acacia Waldorf. have you visited them?
Hi teacher Tina,
My 2sons are studying in sbca. I had problem with my youngest that’s currently in grade2. He get bored and seem very pressured with their activity. They have 30+ student in the class and mostly left independent doing their worksheets and other activities. They have lots of exams and assignments. My youngest have tutor everyday because he has low grades half of his subjects but still he said that he keep on getting low grades because in the school he is not comfortable and said its different there. Maybe he feel pressured inside the classroom. He is a playful child but hardly had time to play now because we keep on doing school activities even in the house so that he can catch up. I think its best for him to transfer to a progressive school or a Montessori which is best that can focus on each student and bring out the best of each child. I hope you can recommend me a good school in alabang area.
Thank you,
Mariecar
Hi. My daughter is turning six and is kinder at a Catholic progressive school (Lamblight Catholic School) here in Bacolod. She thrives in her school and loves going to school. I am looking into moving back to Manila. Could you recommend a progressive school (preferably Catholic) for prep and elementary/high school in the Alabang/Muntinlupa/Las Pinas areas? Thanks a lot.
Hi teacher Tina, my 3 kids are so used with the progressive method,however, we have to relocate from pasig to cavite.im having a hard time looking for a progressive school..can you look for me, we will be staying in GMA cavite? Appreciate you response..
Hi Teacher Tina! I am so glad that there is a forum like this one, and that I can consult with someone interactively. Anyway, if I may ask your expertise, my son is currently enrolled at a Traditional exclusive school for boys along Katipunan, where he is Prep and going to be Grade 2 next school year. I do believe that he is OK there as he is already enjoying it with his new found friends, classmates and teachers. But then his Dad is now considering sending him to an International School. I am scared of a lot of things for my son in transferring him to IS: Catholic teaching is not strong, bullying may be rampant, my son might shy-off as he’s going to miss his school, classmates which he is attached to right now with the new environment of IS. Please enlighten me on this as we only want the best for our son. You see, my son belongs to a broken family, basically I think the reason why his dad wants him to go to IS. For him the traditional school is not helping our son to accept the reality of a broken family, which I oppose because I can see that the guidance councilor is doing her job on it. Thank you very much.
Hello Mam Tina,
My son is turning two this May and we are considering to enroll my son in toddler school, can you recommend any toddler school near Cubao Araneta or San Juan City Area which uses either progressive or DAP method of teaching.
Thank you very much…..
