Headmaster’s Corner
The momentum toward international schools returning to face-to-face classes is slowly growing, and as a result, you can expect more frequent updates coming from my office. As I've mentioned in a prior email, the Department of Education has released Memorandum No. 071, s. 2021, which recognizes “the unique nature of International Schools” and their “capacity to implement face-to-face classes outside the 120 pilot schools.” This is a very positive development, and it clears the way for independent approval via the Department of Education, Department of Health, IATF and our Local Government.

Lessons and Carols 2021
The Festival of Lessons and Carols is a service of Scripture and song that dates to the late 19th century. In this service, we listen to nine Scripture lessons which recount the Fall, the promise of a Messiah, the Incarnation, and the Great Commission to preach the Good News. Each lesson is followed by a carol or song that reflects on the lesson's message and a brief prayer. Brent International School Baguio has been celebrating this service as far back as the 1920’s and it has become one of the many endearing traditions of the school.
