From Timid to Communicative

“We all have god-given talents but we need a place, an environment that enables us to fulfill our talents. Reedley’s school policy of staying small in size, its focus on individual kids, its anti-bullying policy, and the CIAP program – all these provide an enabling environment for our children. I am convinced that there are very few, if any, schools in Manila that can match Reedley in terms of providing both the competitive academic environment and the inclusive culture that helps our children live up to their full potential.

We’ve been especially impressed with the teachers at Reedley as they are so dedicated to each individual child. After a year at Reedley, Kenneth is talking so much more, is so much more communicative, he’s making friends, loving Reedley and just thriving.”

From Bullied to Happy

“Parenting is the toughest thing, but when you have a school that helps our children, gives them guidance, makes them believe in themselves, gives them opportunities to improve their grades and the most important, SELF WORTH, then we know our kids have a better future.

My priority is  NO BULLYING and a place where she can be happy. I have to say it's hard for us to understand what kids want nowadays. We need a school like Reedley to work hand in hand with us parents.”

From Scared to Kind Hearted

“Reedley helped me define a standard of success, and that standard is Kindness. Before Reedley, all the way back in grade school, I was bullied. Grades were my only solace from the kind of treatment that I got from my classmates. Reedley is different. In some schools, there are educators who don't prioritize or think much about what students think about themselves, their classmates and teachers.

Here, teachers, counselors and the faculty encouraged students to come to them if ever they needed advice or support or something as simple as just wanting to talk. These sessions and the general way that the teachers and faculty carried themselves helped me cope with my experiences and helped me open my eyes on how I can be an active agent of change to stop the pattern of unkindness..”

From Shy to Blending In

“I was this really shy kid entering Reedley, and coming from a big school such as the Ateneo, it was pretty much uncertain for me on how my journey throughout these next few years would be.

It was a much smaller school, obviously a different culture, much further away from my home, we didn’t have KFC in the cafeteria unlike Ateneo, so inevitably I was really anxious coming into my new school. As I walked through the hallways of Reedley, and during that time Reedley hallways were really long, a lot of departments were sharing the same floor, I could not help but notice how everyone just blended well together. Students were hugging and dapping up one another, they were all laughing together, the teachers were also doing the same things too with their students. To be honest, although this sounds really happy and fun, I got even more anxious thinking that I’d be left out. And thank God that did not come true.”

From Reluctant to Assured

“In Reedley, I was able to join clubs and groups that shared the same interest as I did. And even when I joined clubs for activities that I was not necessarily good at (like the cooking club), they welcomed me with open arms. Because of this, I was able to explore different interests until I found and discovered things that I enjoyed. It is because of Reedley that I know who I am through and through. And I know the shy little girl who could barely raise her hand to recite back then is immensely proud of who I have become. ”
