International School in Boracay, The Philippines

Boracay European International School:
Boracay European International School (BEIS) is a non-profit, co-educational, international school in the Philippines using English as the language of instruction, and offering programs from Nursery through to Grade 9. We are located in Manoc-Manoc in Malay, Aklan on Boracay Island, approximately 315 km (200 miles) south of Manila and 2 km off the north-west tip of Panay Island in the Western Visayas region of the Philippines. BEIS is in partnership with the German European School in Manila which has an accreditation as an IB World School and provides high quality academic and administrative assistance.

Founded in late 2008 by a group of parents, our mission is to provide high quality programs of international standards for students of various nationalities.

Our Philosophy:
The school's primary task is to make the students discover and cultivate their unique spiritual and intellectual potential. It fosters in its community a life-long love of learning, academic excellence and a sense of open-mindedness and responsible citizenship. Our educational program is designed to develop the understanding, skills and attitudes that support this.

We believe that as we move through the processes of inquiry, discussion, decision-making and reflection, we develop an understanding of ourselves, of other people and of our world.

Boracay European International School (BEIS) is the best and first choice on Boracay for families with a pronounced interest in international education, culture and languages. We provide excellent education in English, following internationally accepted and renowned standards. Our children are given scope and motivation for their personal development.

Education Programs:
We provide education programs from Nursery through to Grade 9 (English is the language of instruction):

- Day Care and Kindergarten programs:  In the day care, children relate to things and events based on their own personal understanding, their interests are stimulated and their experiences come to life.

- Primary School program:  Lessons are organized in blocks, with each block comprising of 90 minutes.

- Secondary School program:  Our program provides a time of transition for students in Grades 5 to 9. It also provides a solid academic foundation in the core subjects, Math, Humanities and the Sciences, as well as Fine Arts.

After finishing grade 9, students will have the option of attending the European International School Manila to complete their high school programs and to enroll in the IB program.

At Boracay European International School, learning takes place in many venues outside the classroom. An education which is enriched by extra-curricular activities is a gift beyond compare. The staff of Boracay European International School are committed to providing such enrichment, and take pride in presenting our students with a plethora of opportunities to expand their horizons.

Students are not only able to pursue present interests (such as swimming or playing a musical instrument), but are also encouraged to try new activities which will develop talents that students might not be aware of.
