Founded in 1999, Reedley International School (RIS) is a private, co-educational international school in Manila. We set ourselves apart from other institutions with our dedication to our guiding principle – to not merely educate our young learners, but to help them grow into their fullest potential.
We guide our students into becoming skilled, happy, and kind lifelong learners using the following approaches:
We combine the best of progressive and traditional education into a synergized learning approach. We ensure that our learners can follow a set of routines, structures, and standards found in traditional learning while imparting the importance of critical thinking that is found in progressive learning, as opposed to just rote learning.
This approach transforms our students into successful learners who have strong learning skills and are able to think critically and apply their learning in real-life situations.
As one of the top international schools in Manila, our students' overall well-being is just as important to us as their academic development. We believe that their social skills, emotional health, and their ability to foster positive relationships are critical to their success in life.
Thus, our Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) is a foundational aspect of Reedley education. As early as lower school, our young learners learn how to develop healthy self-esteem, identify and label emotions, and interact positively with others — even in moments of conflict. This is continued throughout their school life and shapes Reesians into well-rounded and happy students with strong conflict-resolution skills and a growth mindset.
Success in today’s world can no longer be attributed to intelligence and academic excellence alone — emotional development and practical life skills are needed for our children to lead fulfilling careers.
To strengthen this aspect of their development, we provide our flagship subject: the Life Skills Program. In this program, students learn how to control their emotions and stress and develop healthy work and study habits. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens and Happy Kids by Sean Covey is also incorporated into our lesson plan.
One of the advantages we offer as the top international school in Manila is a student-centered learning environment. Our class sizes are small, so our instructors can better cater to your child’s social, emotional, and educational needs.
With this setup, teachers are able to give each student a customized learning plan, which is crucial in developing their full potential.
Reedley International School is one of the top international schools in Manila that offers the Advanced Placement (AP) Program to our high school students. This program gives our students the chance to tackle college-level work and earn experience and college credits in foreign universities.
Our AP program is committed to helping highly motivated learners hone the skills they will need in their chosen college courses, and later on in their careers.
Our position as one of the top international schools in Manila is thanks to our dedication to the Reedley way.
We do not just seek to shape academically excellent students through our world-class education — we also aim to foster holistic character formation in each of our students. We believe that this is imperative in ensuring your children are nurtured to their full potential.
