On Friday, March 3, 2023, Intermediate students from private schools across Rodriguez competed in Mathematics, Science, and English at the ROPRISA (Rodriguez Private Schools Association) Annual Academic Competition, held at Christ the Foundation Christian Academy. Other schools took the runner-up spots, but all three first-place trophies went to Eastbridge, earning our teams the right to represent the town at the provincial RIPRISA (Rizal Private Schools Association) competition.
A clean sweep is not easy
Winning at ROPRISA is nothing new for Eastbridge, but sweeping every subject is. In past years the competition also included Araling Panlipunan and Spelling, and other schools sometimes beat us in a subject or two. Mathematics has been the exception. Before the pandemic, our Math teams won at the town level every year and took the provincial RIPRISA title four years in a row. In 2019, representing Rizal, our Math team went on to win the regional championship in Tagaytay. Read the 2019 story →
What came next
2023 was the first year the competition went all the way to the national level, as schools from outside Region IV-A joined. Our teams won the provincial round, and on March 17, 2023, just two weeks after this win, they reached the top:
- 🥇 Math: National Gold, a back-to-back title
- 🥇 English: National Gold
- 🥈 Science: National Silver
What this means for your child
Results like these are not built in the weeks before a contest. They are built every day in class: through Singapore Math, which teaches children to reason through problems instead of memorizing steps, and through small classes where teachers know each child well enough to stretch them. Competitions simply let the rest of the town see what our students can do.
Congratulations to our contestants, and thank you to their teachers and parents. To God be the glory!
Every child has gifts worth discovering.
Visit Eastbridge, meet our teachers, and see our classes in action.
