Hello, I'm new here but i find your insights very helpful and interesting. I just have a question, how did you know that your son is a kinesthetic learner? I think my son is too, but i just thought that i need to have confirmation that he is. Is there a testing center or an organization that specializes in this?
thank you very much for all your great insights about MI, I'm thinking of dropping by this week and inquiring for my son.
For SY 2006-2007, it was a little over than 90K (tuition+miscellaneous) for grades 2-3 so i suppose for this coming schoolyear it's well over 100k. as far as i can remember they have a yearly increase in tuition fees. Books cost around 5k. You also have to buy the notebooks and schoolbag from them
Greetings.
I agree. My children are both enrolled in a progressive SCHOOL here in Quezon City.
The tuition fee is relatively higher compared to other traditional schools but my children are learning things while having fun.
When we visited other countries every summer, we observed that pre schools and gradeschools in foreign countries do much of field visits. They learn theories at school + apply them instantly. There was one time , our family visited the Australian Museum in Sydney, all of the aussie children inside the museum were asking the names of the Dino inside, but my 4 and 6 -y.o. children identified them straight out loud. One guest replied : VERY CLEVER!
They are enrolled in John Dewey School for Children here along congressional ave./ mindanao.
hi, how much is the tuiton at MI?
--how steep??=)
Two of my kids went to MI and I only have good words for this wonderful school! Though my kids are not currently enrolled there anymore, here are my thoughts on MI.
My daughter studied in their preschool, Child's Place, during the first schoolyear that the school started its operation. We were lucky because Teacher Joy (the owner) was still active as a classroom teacher then so she was really hands on with the students. She was really so good with kids and you can tell that she sincerely cares about her students and wants them to love learning. All the teachers there were very warm and nurturing and encouraging.
My son studied in MI for his 1st and 2nd grades. What I love most about MI is their approach to learning. In my son's own words
"They make learning so much fun!"
You see in MI, unlike in traditional schools where rote learning and memorization is the norm, the kids in MI really learn, understand and retain their lessons. Through interesting modes of teaching that addresses the different ways (or smarts) a student absorbs information, MI is able to integrate fun with true learning. For example, when the my son's class was learning about the human digestive system, the students were not simply asked to memorize and identify the parts on a sheet of paper. They explored different ways of learning about it. First, they created a clay model of the different parts of the digestive system. My son had so much fun rolling out red clay to make the big and small intestines! This method works out well for the kinesthetic learners. The teacher also asked each student to lie down on a big sheet of manila paper and their classmates took turns outlining their bodies on the paper. Each one of them then had their very own "body" on which to draw their own digestive system. For the musically inclined, the class then composed a rap song (to the tune of a popular song, for better recall) that identifies each digestive system part and what its function is! Years after that lesson, my son can still explain (very articulately and in his own words) the parts and functions of the digestive system in its entirety!
My son, who has mild dyslexia blossomed in this school. (Mind you, he was not in the SPED group but in the mainstream class) His teachers were very patient and helpful with him when he had difficulties. They were so encouraging and supportive of my son, specially his 2nd grade teacher (Hi Teacher Tess!). When my son got a perfect score for the first time in a science quiz, the teacher was so happy and proud of his effort and achievement. In fact all his classmates were so proud and supportive of him that they gave him a standing ovation! That moment was a priceless memory that my son still remembers up to now.
MI is also one of the few school I've seen where the all students seem so very happy, friendly, sociable, confident and excited to go to school even during holidays! There were no bullying or fights at all during the time that my kids were in that school (at least in my kids classes). All their classmates were so encouraging and supportive of one another. I attribute this to the fun, happy, non-competitive yet intellectually and creatively stimulating environment that MI had created for its students.
Only downside I can say about MI is its steep tuition fee but if you can afford it, why not? MI is certainly worth every cent you will shell out.
