British School Manila to host international music festival
11/02/2009



The British School Manila (BSM) will host a music festival on Nov. 12 to 15 for visiting students from 15 to 20 schools affiliated with the Federation of British International Schools in South East Asia (Fobissea).

The BSM is expecting some 200 to 250 students from schools all across Southeast Asia to participate in the festival.

The four-day festival will feature a variety of events from large full scale rehearsals of both choirs and orchestra to perform major works by composers such as Haydn, Mendelssohn, John Williams, “Fats” Waller and Bobby McFerrin to smaller chamber ensembles and stimulating workshops.

The workshops will offer music theater led by Mark Williams, music therapy led by Celeste Sanchez, hip-hop dancing, junk percussion, Philippine instruments, composition, rock band, an introduction to the organ and much more.

There will be live performances from local musicians, including a rondalla band and a guitar ensemble as well as a concert by the World Choir Games winner of 2008, the Las Piñas Boys Choir, on Saturday, Nov. 14.

The festival will culminate with a gala concert on the last night of the festival, Sunday, Nov. 15, at the school campus that will showcase the main musical ensembles from the festival as well as some of the music from the other ensembles and workshops.

The BSM is an international school in the Philippines providing excellent standards of British education in academic sporting and social education. The school prides itself on excellent results in national curriculum tests, GCSE and IB results, exceeding UK averages.

I agree that going to an international school is just like a Pasikat thing. I'm here in Dubai went to an Indian school but more considered international because there is a mix of Filipinos, Indians, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis and Indonesians, school fees here in Dubai are like high school tuition fees in a private high school or somehow near to a public college fee. Filipino schools in the UAE are so expensive also, the most expensive are the universities and colleges which are much dominated by EU expatriates. I must say must maganda ang curriculum and the way of teaching as well as the lesson plan sa Pilipinas, here in Dubai as in NO FREEDOM talaga, co-ed schools nga di naman puede humalo and the lessons are like rinerecycle lang nila, boring ng mga teachers, field trips aren't like that in Pinas na pupunta kayo sa malalayo at magcacamping. etc. I've decided sa Pinas na lang. BTW compare the International school and Filipino schools here in Dubai, Filipino school teach complex words to children in English as well as weird stuff for me on Science, Sex-ed in schools in Dubai are so not gonna happen, Grade 7 (First year in Flip standards) here learn about Plant sexual reproduction (WTF), no science experiments or any kind.

The only good thing about going to an international school is the teaching of fluent english.

K-12 means that the school offers classes from Kindergarten thru Grade 12, which is normal for most IB program schools.

i know what k-12 means. i was just making a "mini" joke there with the K-11. cos there's really no such thing, except maybe if you've had grade 7 in school here in the philippines.

Nanuri, now internationally-accredited
Posted on September 27, 2010 by damarre





AFTER two years of waiting, Nanuri International School (NIS) goes full-pledged internationally acclaimed, which was also celebrated the same day, Mrs. Leoncia Luz R. Sumicad, school’s secretary, announced Sunday.

In just three years of existence, NIS was able to get the tickle of the East Asia Regional Council of Overseas School (EARCOS) that accredits schools rendering international standards of teaching.






EARCOS has formed a Standing Committee on School Evaluation, which works with the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) in support of the evaluation/accreditation program for schools in East Asia.

Among the internationally- accredited schools in the country that use EARCOS as their resource for the professional development of their learning community are: Brent International School in Baguio, Manila, and Olongapo City, respectively, Cebu International School in Cebu City, Faith Academy, Inc. in Makati City, International School in Manila in Makati City, and the Nanuri International School in Taguanao, Indahag, Cagayan de Oro City.

In the entire Mindanao, EARCOS has awarded the Nanuri International School the certificate as a member of good standing in that so called service organization as associate institution on August 25, this year.

Are you sure that YOU agree to your statement that going to an international school, and by that, I assume that you honestly meant American or UK curriculum, as opposed to a sub-con (like Indian) is just to be a show-off? Bet the reason you didn't go is because the tuition fees are so restrictive- considering that you believe that the Fil school tuition is expensive- its not even close to USD2000! had you gone to a REAL international school, you'd have had the options to have toured all over the world. Trust me, I KNOW.

I don't understand it when Filipino families send their children over to international schools. Especially when you put into consideration that schools like the Philippine Science, Poveda, LSGH and Xavier exist.

I read somewhere that in the Philippines, Pisay has the highest percentage of acceptance rate to prestigious universities abroad like Harvard, Princeton, Oxford and the like.
