Reedley International School: An Anti-Bullying School



Reedley International School is the first and only institution among the top schools in Metro Manila and in the Philippines to provide a unique international educational program that enables students to learn more with a less stressful, yet engaging and challenging experience. Serving families for over 13 years, Reedley has ensured that apart from being at par with international standards, it provides a nurturing learning environment to its students, thus producing happy and well-rounded individuals. Reedley is currently a Candidate for Accreditation to be awarded by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC)-USA and a Regular Member of the Council of International Schools (CIS)-UK.

Happy students are better learners, and this is evident in how Reedley raises its kids. Its small class sizes guarantee that learners are able to fully grasp the lessons taught by their teachers. Unlike most schools which only measure how smart or dumb a child is, Reedley acts as a roadmap and mentor that nurtures each student to reach his or her goals through after-school review sessions, customized academic and non-academic action plans and one-on-one parent chats. Annually, 85% of Reedley graduates pass the Top 5 local universities (University of the Philippines, Ateneo, De La Salle, University of Asia and the Pacific, and University of Santo Tomas) and foreign colleges such as University of San Francisco, USA, Northwood University in Michigan, USA, Purdue University, Limkokwing University in Malaysia, and Singapore School of Management to name a few.

Bullying, at home and in school, greatly contributes to child stress and hinders them from learning and from having healthy family and peer relationships. Reedley has always been at the forefront of campaigns against bullying, and is one of the pioneers of anti-bullying school programs in the country. Through the years, the school has effectively launched activities through its annual Bully Proof program that promote a culture of kindness, belongingness, and camaraderie in school. Reedley’s anti-bullying campaigns were even used as a reference in drafting a house bill on anti-bullying policies for schools.

Reedley’s flagship subject, Life Skills, has been helping students to manage healthy relationships and work effectively by handling stress without sweating the small stuff. Life Skills uses The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens and Happy Kids by Sean Covey as an anchor and guide. In addition to Reedley’s anti-bullying campaigns, the school integrates study skills, time management, and conflict resolution in its curriculum.
