I had a privilege to visit one of the well known school in Ayala Alabang, Muntinlupa, not because it’s a prestigious school but because it’s famous for something that are unique theirs, formation of the youth. through mentoring system. Each student is assigned a mentor who becomes the parent’s partner in guiding their daughter toward the pursuit of academic excellence and character.

Woodrose Paref is inspired by the teaching of St. Josemaria Escriva, that all the parents are the primary educators of their children, parents and teachers go hand in hand to form the student’s holistic well being. Woodrose believes that students should be given an integral education, which addresses all the aspects of the human being-physical, social, intellectual, moral and spiritual.
To enlighten you more on how proud and important the approach that PAREF Woodrose instill to their alumna, mentor and student. Here is what they impart to us

When I first laid my eyes on my child, the first thing that comes in my mind was her education. I want to make sure that she got the best formation not only in academics but the whole aspect of how to face the world even on her own. It doesn’t matter where the school might be located or how big or well known that school is. The bottom line when it comes to education is how well round they can form my child. What differs one school from another, PAREF Woodrose have an approach that they are proud of; its mentoring system. PAREF Woodrose may not be as big as the prestigious school that I known of but one thing that I notice, they prepared their students well. Every aspect of the child was well thought of, they might not just academically challenge but even the artistic formation was at the top priority. Everything can be talked about, from the simple hairpin up to whatever it is under the sun. Trust is build between the young and its mentor, and that is something worth continuing a legacy to the student.
