WE welcome the establishment of the first local branch of King’s School (under the British Schools Group), which opens this September. BSG is one of the largest networks of British schools in the world.
The King’s School Manila is at Bradco ave., Aseana, Parañaque City, near Mall of Asia. Visit www.kings.org.ph, or e-mail mark.johnson@kings.org.ph. It recently appointed its founding head teacher, Ms Janet Brock.
According to Miss Brock, education at BSG schools is “thoroughly British, and thoroughly modern.” She explains, “While children perform at a level that places them in the top 10 percent of UK students, the education they receive is based on warmth and encouragement.”
Ultimate goal
Music stands out among its broad range of activities, with primary school children learning to play at least one instrument every year. The school’s goal is for its secondary students to gain slots in top universities in the UK and United States.
The institution also offers a strong Mandarin Chinese language program.
