Reach International School

Founded in 2006, the school operates on the principle of inclusive education, aiming to provide a learning environment without limits for all types of students. It prioritises a non-traditional, less rigid approach that emphasises individualised learning, subject mastery, and the development of critical thinking skills. The school's core values, including 'DEUS' (God before all) and 'LUX' (the light of reason), underpin its mission to help students fall in love with learning.

The school offers a K-12 curriculum that integrates the Philippines’ Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013 with international standards, including the Singaporean curriculum for English, Mathematics, and Science, and the United States Common Core State Standards for Social Studies. Learning is delivered through various modalities, including face-to-face, online (synchronous and asynchronous), and hybrid formats. The academic programme is highly individualised, allowing students to progress at their own pace while benefiting from small class sizes capped at 15 students.

The school aims to empower students to become critical thinkers and lifelong learners who are prepared for tertiary education, employment, or entrepreneurship. By focusing on both cognitive development and social-emotional well-being, the institution strives to produce graduates who are active, compassionate members of their local and global communities. Success is measured by the students' ability to think critically and demonstrate care for others and the environment.

Reach International School is an inclusive institution that provides dedicated support for students with learning disabilities and special needs through its Special Education Department. The school offers a Literacy Enhanced Academic Program (L.E.A.P.) and a Modified Education Program (MEP), alongside therapeutic services such as speech and occupational therapy. Individualised teaching methods are employed to ensure that students can advance at their own pace while remaining integrated with their peers.

The school maintains a deliberate and meticulous admissions process, requiring a mandatory assessment test and a parent interview for all applicants. Prospective families must submit comprehensive documentation, including academic records and, where applicable, developmental reports for students with special needs. The school is selective, ensuring that it can provide the necessary time, energy, and resources to support each admitted student effectively.

The academic year at Reach International School typically begins in June and concludes in March. The school operates on a Monday to Friday schedule, with specific hours tailored by department: Preschool (8:30 am – 11:30 am), Primary School (7:30 am – 12:00 pm), and Junior and Senior High School (7:30 am – 2:30 pm).

The campus features a range of specialised learning spaces, including a science laboratory, a computer laboratory, and a library stocked with literature and reference materials. Practical skills are supported by a vocational education room equipped for home and food technology, while creative expression is encouraged in a dedicated music room and an art room. The school also provides a clinic for health needs, a cafeteria offering balanced meals, and a guidance room that serves as a support centre for student well-being.

The school offers a variety of extracurricular activities designed to foster creativity and skill development. These include music instruction in voice, piano, guitar, and drums, as well as art programmes covering basic drawing, oil pastel, and watercolour techniques. Additionally, students can participate in various after-school intervention and language programmes to further their personal and academic growth.
