Welcome Message for School Year 2024–2025

Dear Carolinian students of the Basic Education!

Welcome to the new school year 2024–2025.  We are glad to have you back on campus and excited to see the incredible things you will achieve this year. Our dedicated faculty and staff are committed to providing you a supportive and engaging learning environment that fosters your growth and development as young students. Aside from that, the three Basic Education campuses, namely Montessori Academy, North Campus Senior High School and the South K-10 Campus will have their new Principal.

As we begin this new academic year, you might notice that there are a few changes that we have introduced. We encourage you to be curious and enthusiastic about the opportunities that lie ahead with these changes that you will encounter. Whether you are a returning student or joining us for the first time, we are honored to have you as part of our vibrant basic education community.

While the basic education is thoroughly undergoing transition and rebranding at this time, we assure you that your needs as young Carolinians will be properly addressed, and you will acquire the same brand of education and your potentials will always be highlighted.  The SVD congregation of priests and brothers which administers our school has just concluded its 19^th General Chapter in Rome, Italy with the theme “Your light must shine before others” (Mt. 5:16) and that is exactly what we want you to become: the light for others so that the darkness of sin may vanish before Light of the Word, and this can be done only when at the start of your academic life you will be filled with the Spirit of Grace.

Throughout the year, we will be offering a wide range of academic and extracurricular programs designed to challenge and inspire you. From rigorous coursework to innovative projects and activities, we are committed to helping you discover your passions, develop the skills and enhance the talents you need in order to succeed whether you are in the pre-school, elementary, and junior and senior high school.

As you settle into your new routine in the campus you are in, we encourage you to stay connected with your classmates, friends and teachers. We also invite you to participate in our upcoming events and activities in your respective campuses, which will provide opportunities for you to build lasting relationships and create unforgettable memories.

Once again, welcome to the new school year 2024–2025. We are excited to see the amazing things you will accomplish and look forward to being a part of your educational journey.

Director, Basic Education Department
