On Friday, March 17, 2023, Eastbridge's academic teams competed at the national level of the NAPSPHIL (National Association of Private Schools in the Philippines) academic competition, held at Juan Sumulong Memorial Junior College in Taytay, Rizal. To get there, each team first had to win at the town level and then at the provincial level.
They came home with two golds and a silver.
Meet the teams
Each team is made up of three students: one each from Grades 4, 5, and 6.
🥇 Math Team: Daniel Kurt Quillopas, Stone Yuno Salayo, Zac Andre De Lara
🥇 English Team: Daniela Lucia Habil, Marielle Candice Rivera, Markus Jamiel Evangelista
🥈 Science Team: Elisha Marie Cais, Zeph Dela Peña, Alyssa Abigail Habil
Why "back-to-back"? Before the pandemic, this competition went only up to the regional level, and Eastbridge's Math team held that title. When competitions resumed, the top level became national, and our Math team won it again.
What a win like this says about a school
A team medal in an academic competition is never the work of one bright child. It takes three students from three different grade levels who can think clearly, work together, and stay calm when a hard question comes up. At Eastbridge, that kind of thinking is built every day: through Singapore Math, which teaches children to understand and solve problems instead of memorizing steps, and through small classes where teachers know each child well enough to stretch them.
Where the journey led
Two years later, English Team member Markus Jamiel Evangelista was among the Eastbridgers who passed the Ateneo de Manila Junior High School entrance exam. Read the story →
Our heartfelt thanks to Teachers Rolyn, Nissa and Glenda for guiding these teams, and to the parents who supported every review session. Congratulations to all nine of our competitors. To God be the glory for the wisdom, perseverance, and victory He gave our teams!
Every child has gifts worth discovering.
Visit Eastbridge, meet our teachers, and see our classes in action.
