No Brent, yet?

Visited Brent South Campus and what can I say? I’m impressed. I am, really – with the classes, the surroundings and with the people. Well, atleast those I’ve talked to anyway. People there are so nice! When I stepped inside the campus, parang wala ako sa Pilipinas! Haha :D I guess that’s one part that explains the SKY ROCKETING tuition fee. It’s almost like buying a car every year, haha.

Anyway, on to my kwento. I pretty liked what I saw although I didn’t get to see the students in the middle and upper school. I had good vibes with the school honestly but the thing is this …

Apparently, Sophia is not eligible to enter their Pre-K yet as kids in this class are supposed to be four by December. Sophia will turn four not until next year – March. She is eligible to enter the pre-school classes though at Brent in ATC but Brent ATC is closing down already this coming May which leaves me no choice but to look for a school to enroll the little girl this June (SY 2008-2009). I wonder now if this is a sign. You all know how I’m having apprehensions of sending Sophia to Brent right? Just so you know, I even pray for it, asking HIM for signs. I wonder now if this is somewhat a sign HE is giving me. Oh well …

Jon and I talked and we came up with the decision to let Sophia go to Rosemont for this school year and we’ll just see what happens next. We have got one whole year ahead of us to really think about it on whether we’ll let her transfer after a year or make her stay in Rosemont and just go straight to Woodrose by grade 1. We’ll see how it goes. We’ll observe Sophia at Rosemont first and just decide after. So I guess my school hunting is not yet over, far from over.

It can be a sign, Jane. If you are still unsure, ask for another sign. Baka Sophia is not meant for Brent talaga.

Good luck on finding the best school for your kid :)

Happy weekend!

hi jane! i’ve been following the discussion about this and maybe the decision you and your husband came up with is the best – I think that at Sophia’s age, the IB advantage of Int’l Schools won’t fully apply yet, so I think Rosemont and Woodrose will compensate by inculcating the Catholic values that are very much an advantage to install in someone so young (but still, good parenting is the besT! :) ) Good luck! :)

Hi Sis,

baka nga it’s a sign. Ako dinkse ganyan eh. Pag di ako makapag decide, hingi talaga ako ng sign from Him.

Pero at least ang good side nun is ma try nyo din sa Rosemont. Observe nyo muna sa Sophia sa Rosemont and decide kayo from there if you’ll transfer her to Brent or not.

tc sis
