CDSMMS CLASS OPENING, SUCCESSFUL

POST FROM https://www.facebook.com/casadesanmiguelmontessori/ 

The first week of school is successful. We'd like to thank the parents, students, teachers, school personnel, and administrators for having diligently worked together for a great school year start. To all Miguelians, let our commitment to becoming excellent and responsible be kindled in our hearts. Together, we can surely have a wonderful year ahead!

BACK TO SCHOOL 2016 @ Casa de San Miguel Montessori School

The road to school is rocky but the ultimate goal of anyone who enters is to achieve excellence and wisdom. The road reminds the Miguelians that in achieving great things, they have to strive and to struggle. They must furthermore cling to the lovely values instilled in them by their educators who are so willing to guide them.

We love schooling. That may be disagreeable to some but for students who committed themselves to lifelong learning, those are words that excite them. It's June again and families are becoming busier in preparation for their kids' return to schools. The smell of new school appliances ignites children's motivation and great longing to see their friends and teachers. The time for vacation or unwinding has quickly elapsed and whatever fun and extraordinary jaunt in so many places it might have provided, nothing beats the special space schooling has occupied in kids' hearts. That is a natural reaction of the body towards the beginning of a new significant event in life.

Like any institution, a school is a self-sustaining community. It requires citizens who harmonize and collaborate through its rules and by its rewards. Being a student of Casa de San Miguel Montessori School (CDSMMS), from a teacher's perspective, is something overwhelmingly associated to excellence and colossal academic achievements. When students attain mastery of content and skills, the community itself rejoices and the achievements generated are tantamount to the school's clear statement of reputation. How is this quality education sustained? The teachers of the school are so dedicated, competent, and caring. In CDSMMS, for an instance, students who transfer to other schools are common. After a year, those students would come back and confirm the advanced curriculum in CDSMMS they had enjoyed before. They would say that lessons they encountered in other schools had already been tackled in CDSMMS; consequently, they exceptionally excel in many subjects. 

While schooling may be difficult for Miguelians, this caring community ensures that learning effectively transpires. It can be remembered when Plato, a Greek philosopher had an inquisitive student. The student wanted to have the same wisdom which Plato possessed and embodied. One day, Plato invited the learner to join him in the river. They immersed themselves in the rushing water. Plato held the student's head and forcefully pushed it down the water. The student tried to resurface to gasp for breath but Plato resisted. When the man could no longer take it, the philosopher set his head free, saying, "Learning is like gasping for breath. You need to struggle to have it." From then on, the student was enlightened.

This coming class resumption, The Miguelians, CDSMMS official campus paper, hopes that Miguelians' schooling will be fun and more engaging. Students' return in schools signify new challenges and achievements to come. Kudos, Miguelians!
