Some of the ETON International School students and parents with its Founder and President Jaqueline Marzan-Tolentino
I would like to share you my top 2 favorite quotes about "Education."
"Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today."
---Malcolm X
"The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education."---Martin Luther King, Jr.
You see, if you were a parent or a guardian, how would you choose the perfect school for you kids that you know and feel would nurture your child's intellectual, emotional, spiritual and social capabilities?
Some of the factors that we consider in choosing the best school for us and our kids, are:
Accessibility
Ambiance
Value for money/ Budget-wise
Your child's feedback (do not forget this one!)
Teachers
Educational System
Security and protection
School's Background and reputation
The above mentioned factors are only some of the things that I take into consideration when choosing my child's school or shall I say, "second" home since they be be honed and grow up with the school, its teachers and classmates for almost two decades. If you still wanted to add more, feel-free to comment and discuss it here on the comment section my dear amazing readers...
Having these guidelines in mind, as a responsible parent to another, let me help you in making up your mind and conclude to your final decision for your child's future. Hope this blog/article of mine would somehow help you and clarify things concerning you child's education.

Why am I talking about this? It's because, I feel so excited to share to all of you my recent experience touring and knowing more about ETON International School . I was one of the privileged moms/parents that was invited just recently to pay a visit and tour the ETON International School CCP campus which is surprisingly, located just near Folk Arts Theater and Coconut Palace.
ETON International School Founder and President Ms. Jaqueline Marzan-Tolentino
We were warmly welcomed by ETON's Founder and President Ms. Jaqueline Marzan-Tolentino who was so gracious and respectable... here's a video of her speach during our visit...
While we were waiting for the program to start, I was surprised to see child star and tv personality Ryzza Mae Dizon together with her mommy Rizza sitting next to our table in one corner. They were so nice to have their picture taken.
Ryzza Mae Dizon with mom Rizza
Ryzza gave her part of speech and shared us how happy and proud she is being one of ETON International School valued students.
This is Ryzza's whole speech:
As part of the program, some proud and satisfied parents and students also shared their part of the story having ETON International School as part of their lives and choosing it as their "second" home as well. I can imagine how proud these parents are every time their kids excel or achieve something and gained something from studying in their beloved school.
This parent couldn't be happier of his kids' achievements in ETON International School. They grew up to be so smart and good-natured
Her kids had found the best school for them, she is married to a Filipino and working in a salvation army, they are so glad to finally found the school that would fit them best
Her family came from China, but when they migrated here, ETON International School had been their "home" away from home
Please watch this video containing their speeches and some students had also showcased their musical talents,,,
Once you enter the ETON International School CCP Complex, you would see this desk

Eton International School Rises by the World’s Best Sunset
SITTING at the heart of Manila and right at the country’s cradle of arts and culture, the Eton International School rises as the first world-class learning institution inside the prestigious grounds of the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP).
Eton International School-CCP stands proudly amongst landmark structures—the Folk Arts Theatre in its north, the Coconut Palace on the east and bordered in the south by the Manila Bay, world-renowned for its spectacular sunrise and glorious sunsets.
“ETON is the school of the future where learning happens beyond the four walls of the classrooms. It is a place where kids will feel safe to learn, grow and multiply their talents exponentially,” said Ms. Jacqueline Marzan-Tolentino, Eton International School Directress.
ETON has created three pioneering programs—the Center for the Talented and Gifted for the pre-schoolers; Center for Leadership and Performing Arts for grade school and Center for Technology and Innovation for high school.
“What sets ETON apart is how we nurture the leadership potential in each child. Our mantra is every child is a leader and every child can be a hero waiting to be unleashed. We take time out to know about the child’s strength and weaknesses so that we can match our teaching style to our students’ learning style. This allows the students to learn, faster, better and higher. Eton International family culture allows students to grow and create better relationships in their family and community. It only takes love to break all barriers in the mind, heart and soul. With our multiple local and international programs, each child is given the chance to find his gifts, strengthen their resiliency and build their confidence,” Tolentino adds.
THE ETON EDUCATION
Tolentino further explained that the Eton school philosophy is that “Every child is born with Royal Dignity.”
“We believe the gifts and calling of each child is irrevocable. A child’s worth is built in. It is our mission to open their mind to possibilities, strengthen their competency and skills and inculcate values that will set them for life,” she adds.
Eton’s motto is Artes (Heart), Scientia (Mind) and Intelligentia(Will or Spirit).
“Every child is nurtured to inspire, to innovate and to lead a life in honor of God and service to humanity. Every Etonian leads with humility, courage and heart,” Tolentino said.
Eton prides itself of its small class size that allows them to focus on the development of each child’s multiple intelligence especially in the crucial foundation years. Tolentino describes this as strengthening their roots to allow the children to be resilient as they grow and bloom and ready to conquer the world.
