Howell and I attended the Parent’s Orientation at St. Theresa’s College last February 20, 2010. I was really paying attention to everything that was discussed and I even took down notes as I will really need this to help us decide which school to choose for Bela.
During the orientation, they discussed about the school’s mission and vision, their curriculum, the school’s policies, and the like. I like their curriculum for Kinder because it is not that rigid as I imagined it to be. Since STC is a big school already, I thought that it will be really serious schooling so I was glad to hear that they will still use the thematic approach (and not the academic approach where they have subjects already) in Kinder. When they discussed the curriculum, it is actually like Bela’s curriculum in MSS so this makes me feel a little relieved because at least it will not be a drastic change for Bela, from MSS to big school, so it will not be a big adjustment for her.
But I noticed that STC is really strict and really very traditional. This made me feel scared because Bela is still very playful at age 4. LOL. Also, my husband and I noticed that they are more on academics. This is good in a way, but the school that we are looking for Bela is something that will train her to excel academically but will also teach her to be a well rounded individual and will also help her hone her other talents (which is one of the things that we like about St. Scholastica).
We are still waiting for our Parent’s Orientation at St. Scholastica so we can learn more about their curriculum, mission and vision, method of teaching and their overall program for their Jr. Prep and Sr. Prep. Then hopefully after that, we can finally decide which school we should send Bela this school year.
