Frequently Asked Questions

About the School

What grade levels do you offer?

Eastbridge currently offers classes from Nursery to Grade 8. As our pioneer batch of junior high students moves up each year, we plan to open Grades 9 and 10 in the years ahead — one grade level at a time.

Families who begin with us now can grow with a school that is steadily expanding its high school program.

Do you accept children with special needs?

We consider children with special needs on a case-to-case basis. Eastbridge is not a SPED school, so we carefully evaluate each applicant individually — based on what we observe during assessment and on whether we believe we can properly support the child's learning and overall school experience.

Our desire is to be thoughtful and honest with families, so each child is placed in an environment where he or she can truly grow and thrive.

Do you have sports programs?

Yes. Through a mix of in-house and partner programs, students can take part in swimming, badminton, taekwondo, soccer, table tennis, basketball, and other sports through our club-based programs. Our student athletes regularly compete — and win — in provincial and national meets; see our Achievements page for the record.

Do you offer summer classes?

Yes — a variety of courses including academic enrichment and performing arts, open to all, not just Eastbridge students.

For children going to school for the very first time, we especially recommend our First Step course for incoming Nursery pupils. It gently introduces school life through play, simple tasks, routines, and social interaction — and it is very helpful in easing separation anxiety, so children begin their school journey with confidence, and parents can feel at ease too.

Tuition & Enrollment

How much is your tuition fee?

Tuition and fees vary by grade level and payment scheme. Some families assume Eastbridge is very expensive — we listened to that concern and introduced more family-friendly payment options to make quality Christian education more accessible.

For complete, up-to-date details for each level, call our office at (02) 8948-1155 during office hours, or message us on Messenger — we reply within one working day.

Do you offer payment schemes?

Yes — families may choose from monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, low down payment, and easy payment options. Every family's situation is different, so we can also customize an arrangement for those with special requirements. Eastbridge is committed to making quality education accessible — we are not a school only for wealthy families.

Do you offer scholarships for deserving students?

Yes. Eastbridge is open to helping intellectually gifted and deserving students through scholarship support, granted on a case-to-case basis with each application carefully considered. Several students have received this assistance over the years.

As a special privilege, children of pastors are offered a 20% tuition discount outright, or a 100% discount subject to certain conditions. Contact the office for details.

When can I enroll my child for the coming school year?

Enrollment opens as early as January. Families who enroll early may enjoy available early-enrollment discounts. We also offer discounts for families with more than one child enrolled, for pastors' children, and other applicable arrangements.

What is the enrollment process?

The best first step is a school visit — you will see the campus, meet the teachers, and get every question answered in person. You can also call (02) 8948-1155, drop by the office, or message us on Messenger to begin.

Getting Here & Facilities

Where are you located?

Block 25 Lots 1–4, Phase 2, Centella Homes Subdivision, San Isidro, Rodriguez (Montalban), Rizal — just before the Centella main gate, in the same compound as The Living Epistle Christian Family Church. Directions, a map, and landmark tips are on our Book a School Visit page.

Do you offer school bus service?

Yes. Eastbridge currently has one official school bus serving students from Burgos area.

Do you have parking space for fetchers?

Yes. For regular visits — parent-teacher conferences, enrollment, payments, and smaller gatherings — there is enough parking around the school. Bigger programs and major events are usually held in larger venues to better accommodate families and guests.

Online Classes

Are online classes interactive?

Yes. We have used ClassIn, a dedicated online-classroom platform, since 2020. Unlike general video-call tools, it is built for highly interactive lesson delivery — which is why we invest in a yearly subscription for it.

What device does my child need?

A desktop or laptop with the ClassIn program installed is required — smartphones and tablets are not supported for classes. Most ordinary laptops can run ClassIn smoothly; no special specifications are needed.

Siblings do not need separate devices as long as they are not attending sessions at the same time. If your child will use a work laptop, we recommend closing confidential applications and logging out of work accounts before class.

Do students wear their uniform in online classes?

Yes. A regular school routine helps children develop the right mindset for learning, even at home — and during our pilot testing, many students actually preferred wearing full school attire because it helped them feel they were truly in school.

What happens during brownouts or internet interruptions?

These situations are rare and usually brief. When they happen, online sessions may be cancelled for the day, and we give due consideration to students who cannot attend for justifiable reasons beyond their control.

A stable connection at home is necessary for online learning. If your area has weak coverage from the usual providers, satellite internet services now make connectivity possible almost anywhere.

Will my child need a tutor during online sessions?

No. Some children may need light supervision for the first few meetings until they settle into the routine — a responsible adult the child listens to is enough.

Do you have an online entrance exam?

We offered online entrance exams during the pandemic, but no longer do. We want the enrollment process to be personal — meeting both the student and the parents early lets us know the child better, answer questions directly, and make the whole process smoother and faster.
