After several weeks of weather-related disruptions, hybrid arrangements, and Flexible Learning Days, we are especially grateful for the opportunity to have had a few days of in-person classes this week. Thank you to our students, families, faculty, and staff for their patience and flexibility.
Rain could not stop the action as the Brent International School Baguio Boys’ and Girls’ Volleyball Teams took to the court for tune-up games against Berkeley School on September 9 at the Brent gymnasium. Despite the persistent rain, both teams embraced the opportunity to compete, using the games as valuable preparation for the season ahead. The matches provided players with an opportunity to put their training into practice, sharpen their skills, and gain valuable experience in a competitive setting.
Junior Council, Student Council, Homeroom Class Officers, and House Heads and Leaders for School Year 2026–2027 were formally inducted during a special chapel service on September 9 that brought together student leaders from across the school, recognizing their new roles as representatives of their classmates and members of the wider Brent community.
On October 8, 2026, students gathered at the Chapel for the Academic Integrity Assembly—a crucial workshop dedicated to reinforcing the values of honesty, scholarship, and personal responsibility. Framed by Ralph Waldo Emerson’s timeless reminder that "Character is higher than intellect," the assembly underscored that true academic success is built on a foundation of integrity.
The past week has asked all of us to be especially flexible. Beginning Friday, August 28, changing weather and travel conditions required us to move from our regular school schedule to hybrid learning, followed by the long weekend for National Heroes’ Day and Baguio Day, and then another combination of hybrid and Flexible Learning days this week.
Based on the current weather conditions and advisories, Brent Baguio will shift to fully online Flexible Learning tomorrow, Thursday, September 3 – Day 1.
A quick heads-up for tomorrow, Wednesday, September 2: based on the latest weather information, we will proceed with in-person Day 2 classes. We are very mindful that some families may still be experiencing travel disruptions or may not yet have been able to return to Baguio from the lowlands.
Thank you to everyone for your continued flexibility and support as we implemented our adjusted school schedule this week. The additional Homeroom/Late Start times and adjusted dismissal times have helped us recover instructional time while keeping our regular school days as intact as possible.
Middle School Social Squad and Grade 8 Religious Studies students took learning beyond the classroom today through “Rooted in Responsibility,” a tree-planting activity held at the Baguio Arboretum.
Held over two days, the Lower School Tea Party on August 25 and the Middle and Upper School Tea Party on August 26 provided families with an opportunity to reconnect with the school, meet faculty members, learn about programs and activities, and hear about the school's priorities for the year ahead.
