Where the journey led
Markus kept going: a Gold Award at the GELOSEA English Olympiad National Round in 2024, a place on the Philippine team to South Korea, and in 2025, a pass in the Ateneo de Manila Junior High School entrance exam. GELOSEA story → · Ateneo passers →
What this means for your child
International olympiads reward understanding, not memorization. Our students prepare for them the same way they learn every day: through Singapore Math, which teaches children to see a problem, model it, and reason their way through it, and through strong reading and language lessons in classes small enough for teachers to stretch each child. We look for every child's gift, and when a child's gift is numbers or words, we help it grow as far as it can go.
Congratulations, Zac, Daniel, Markus, and Stone! Thank you to your teachers and parents. To God be the glory!
Every child has gifts worth discovering.
