Frequently Asked Questions

Is Chinese a required subject?

Do you teach religion? How do you integrate values into your curriculum?

ISA is a non-sectarian school. Though we do not espouse a particular religion, values education is integrated in every aspect of our education system, learners are imbued with core virtues such as respect, honesty, loyalty, diligence, self-discipline, and courage.

Approximately 70% of our facilitators and learners are Catholics, 25% belong to various Christian churches, and the rest are Muslim, Hindus, and Buddhists. Respect for other’s belief is another virtue the school has been fostering which greatly contributes to the harmonious coexistence of various religious beliefs in the campus. 

Does ISA offer scholarships?

Aside from subsidy provided by FAPE to all high school Filipino learners, ISA has a grants-in-aid program for needy but deserving ISAers. The GIA fund comes from the donors and friends of ISA. To encourage ISAers to engage in sports, ISA rewards the winners in all the sports events in Private Schools Athletic Association Meets (PRISAA) in the form of tuition fee discounts.
