There are some days when we carry out maintenance on things to keep them from breaking down. While that is normally reasonable, I would like to make an argument for the case that maintenance is not always good. In organizations, for instance, it will not do to just maintain. The goal of every organization is to keep growing. Even relationships must evolve and develop, more so when we talk about academic institutions being amid constant change in terms of approaches, methodologies, culture and demands. I thank God that even if Eastbridge is getting older, it has never ceased to explore new horizons to maximize what it can offer to its students. And in doing so, it does not only continue to produce academic and non-academic winners, but it has also improved its ranking in competitions. Eastbridge has also increased its passing rate in prestigious institutions like the Philippine Science High School, Quezon City Science High School, Marikina Science High School, Miriam College, De La Salle High School and the Ateneo de Manila University.
One of the desired goals of Eastbridge School is to instill the idea on the parents that the education of their kids are not the sole responsibility of the school. Being in the academe for twenty years now, the administrators of the school deem that this is a necessary element for a successful learning experience especially in the preschool level. For what is education if not the preparation for life? A person who is trained to only prepare for work in adulthood has only prepared for half of what life is all about. Others may even argue that most of life is interaction with other people. For isn't work even also mostly comprised of this? Thus, it is of the utmost importance that the training that the kids get in a learning institution must touch on this major element.
