La Milagrosa School of Batangas, Inc.

We are a private Elementary School located in Banay-Banay Concepcion, Lipa City. Our school is for boys and girls ranging between 3 ½ and 11 years of age.

We provide a British Curriculum with a strong international and local flavor.

Pupils are from both the local community and from foreign countries. They are of different nationalities, races and creeds. All our staffs are fully qualified

We aim to provide a firm foundation in the fundamental skills necessary to pursue further education and to stimulate growth in all areas of the child’s development. We believe that school should be a happy experience in which the children are free to explore, to express themselves and to learn many valuable lessons in addition to the purely academic ones.

We recognize that each child is gifted with something special, something unique. We aim to encourage this uniqueness, to identify each child’s special qualities and talents and to develop them as fully as possible. Therefore classes are kept small and are divided into small groups according to individual academic levels, enabling the teachers to draw out the full potential of each child.

While the children are acquiring the necessary skills, through a carefully structured and balanced curriculum, we encourage a spirit of inquiry and self-reliance and a love of learning in order to stimulate a life-long thirst for knowledge. In this way, we aim to develop children who are independent learners and are confident in their own ability.

When your children leave our school, we hope that they will take with them not only the highest level of academic, artistic and creative achievements, of which they have proved individually capable, but also a standard of truth, honesty and respect for the rights and needs of others which will help them live full, useful and happy lives.

At La Milagrosa School we believe that all things are achieved through love. We believe that children are like flowers—they blossom with love. Love makes them open up and blossom.

In School, love may be expressed in many ways:

High expectations is a form of love --- We recognize the highest potential of each child and lead him to fulfill that potential. This is the real meaning of “education” from “educare” – to draw out that which is within each child.

Discipline is a form of love --- This is achieved by setting guidelines of expected behavior and setting clear limits. Children respond to discipline when it is meted out with love. Their innate sense of justice enables them to recognize when correction is fair and necessary, and they accept it willingly.

Humility is a form of love --- This can be seen when adults recognize that teaching and learning is not a one-way street - we learn as much from the children as they learn from us. Humility helps us to recognize that none of us is perfect, but that together we can help one another to grow towards perfection – we are all striving to arrive.

We remember that “love is gentle, love is kind.” Love does not use force. Love shows by example. Love takes you by the hand and leads the way gently.

The spark of love is within each one. We aim to handle the spark, to help it shine brighter so that it may become a great light that illumines the world.
