John Dewey School for Children (JDSC) is dedicated to give students the best quality education to hone their academic, athletic, and social skills with emphasis on character development. We find the most effective and innovative ways to teach our students as we believe that each learner has the capabilities to be his oher best. JDSC prides itself to pioneer Project-based Learning, Singapore Math, the Virtues Project, Internationalization Program, and Floorball in the Philippines. Through these progressive and creative programs, we are able to push our pupils beyond their limits for them to achieve greater success. Our team of educators are determined to help nurture, and bring out the best in each student. We provide many opportunities for learners to discover their strengths and develop them further. Here at John Dewey, every student is given the opportunity to excel.

Virtues

  • Innovation   – We come up with better ways of doing things.

          “Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.” –Steve Jobs

  •  Leadership  – We inspire others to become their best.

            “If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, you are a leader.”                                                                                                                                                                                 –Anonymous

  • Integrity     – We stand up for what is right.

           “Integrity is choosing courage over comfort; choosing what is right over what is fun, fast, or easy;

                           and choosing to practice our virtues rather than simply saying them.”   –Anonymous

  • Excellence – We give our best to the work we do.

    “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.”  –Aristotle

  • Service  – We make a difference in the world.

    “Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.”   –Albert Einstein
