Four Eastbridge Students Triumph in Rigorous Pisay Entrance Exam

Four Eastbridge Students Triumph in Rigorous Pisay Entrance Exam

Four of our Grade 6 students passed the Philippine Science High School (PSHS) National Competitive Examination (NCE) and qualified for admission to Pisay for School Year 2025–2026. The NCE is known nationwide for its depth in mathematics, science, and reasoning, and only a small share of each year's examinees earn a slot.

Our Pisay passers

  • πŸŽ“ Nathaniel Pio Hermann Ursulum β€” Grade 6
  • πŸŽ“ Zac Andre de Lara β€” Grade 6
  • πŸŽ“ Jaycee Marvid Oteda β€” Grade 6
  • πŸŽ“ Julia Elise Pondoc β€” Grade 6

What it took

These results did not happen in one morning. Nathaniel, Zac, Jaycee, and Julia spent weeks working through advanced math, science, and logic problems, often giving up summer days, free time, and some sleep. Their families sacrificed alongside them. Passing the NCE is a testament to hard work, perseverance, and faith.

Part of a long line

Since our first elementary batch graduated in 2012, more than one hundred Eastbridge graduates have earned places in the country's science high schools and respected private schools. See the Eastbridge Hall of Fame β†’

More than a test score

An exam like the NCE rewards years of foundations, not weeks of cramming. At Eastbridge, those foundations start early: mastery-based Singapore Math in every grade, teachers who notice the week a child starts to struggle, and classes where every child is known by name. We use Multiple Intelligences to discover each child's gifts, and for these four, a gift for math and science found room to grow.

Our heartfelt thanks to the teachers who guided this batch, and to the parents who walked every step with their children. Congratulations, Nathaniel, Zac, Jaycee, and Julia! To God be the glory!

Every child has gifts worth discovering.
