Testimonial from Mrs. Pepsi Honrado,
mother of Erika Honrado, Upper School 3 student

I am thanking God every single day for blessing me with a profound change in my daughter Erica’s outlook in schooling, friendships, and life in general. All these happened after she moved to REEDLEY INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL. At Reedley, everyone shows a sincere concern for everyone. You truly feel part of one big Family. Everyone greets you with a cheerful greeting and a smile. They even know us by our names!

The school, in partnership with the parents, really helps the children bring out the best of their individual capabilities, not only academically, but in other aspects as well.
The students are challenged, because of the small class size, making them more studious and participative. Yet, they are not stressed and pressured, compared to the big schools, because of the half-day schedule. They have time to pursue other things, contributing further to the total growth of the individual.

Reedley indeed, has made true on its promise of self-actualization and self-discipline, in a nurturing environment. Their personalized teaching experience has made our daughter bloom like never before. During the Reading of Honors, My husband Eric and I noticed, that she is a picture of happiness and pride, her head held up high, confident that she is capable of handling more of life’s tough challenges ahead. I am truly at a loss for words to describe the happiness I feel in my heart. Moving my daughter to REEDLEY has definitely been the best decision we have made as parents.

Thank you so much Reedley!! Keep up the excellent work!!

Testimonial from Mrs. Au Ong,
mother of Rylle Ong, Lower School 4 student

My son, Rylle Ong, is a transferee from an all boys’ school, he used to be a shy and looked
unhappy due to lots of homework and comes home at 9PM daily from the tutor. By that time, he’s
so tired and unable to eat dinner anymore, which made him underweight. Upon finishing third
grade, we tried to inquire in various schools.

Luckily, a common friend mentioned that her son
graduated from Reedley International School (RIS) and really enjoyed his stay there. So, we came
to the decision of transferring our son to RIS. Fortunately, after a month or two, we noticed a big difference and transformation in him as well as his cousins and his Pediatrician. He became a jolly boy, no longer shy, gained self-confidence, and looks forward to going to school daily. During the 1st quarter Parent Teacher Conference, his adviser even mentioned that he has lots of stories to tell to his classmates and also became popular as the storyteller of the class. We are so amazed, happy, and thankful that we made the right choice in choosing
RIS for our son.

Testimony of Mrs. Jenny M. Villegas,
mother of Patricia Villegas, Middle School 7 student

As a new student, my daughter Patricia Ysabel has adjusted quite remarkably in Reedley
International School (RIS) coming from a big school.

Self-actualization is one of the core values of RIS. During the initial interview, Pat was told
that the school strives to recognize each student’s capacity for learning – in simple terms “ You may not be an Einstein, but you may be a Shakespeare.” My daughter was happy to know this.
She felt that she will “bloom” in RIS. She was then very certain of her resolve to make that leap of faith and embrace change. I was glad that we both did.

During the 1st Quarter Academic Awards for this school year, Pat received gold and silver subject excellence awards. She is one of only four in the grade level to have received the most elusive Deportment Award. She is also a class officer.
The school system, class structure, and course outlines are clear-cut, organized and consistent. Teaching and learning methods are extensive and global in nature, creative and dynamic. Students are encouraged to be creative and dynamic. Students are encouraged to be CRITICAL THINKERS and PROBLEM SOLVERS with the open and free discussions in class, skills that are essential in life later on.

Someone from the family noted recently that Pat has this certain “sophistication” in the tone of her voice. I give the credit to RIS whose views on its ideal graduate run parallel to the very skills I profess to my daughter, to prepare her in MIND, HEART and SPIRIT. She has become more independent, confident, more outspoken and courageous. She is always early in school and doesn’t like it when classes are suspended!

I have witnessed utmost professionalism in every single member of the RIS from top to bottom. For the teachers in RIS speak with authority but are not overbearing. They are very cordial to the students but draw respect from them as well.
The school’s administrators are always accommodating and they make it their business to know each child and his/her parents. Kindness is simmered down through the faculty, staff, receptionist, security officers and every person in RIS; more so imbibed in the students’ lives as inscribed in its walls.

When my Patricia saw all the happy faces of the RIS students in the film clip during the Parent’s Orientation, I remember what she said to me when we got home, “Mom, I want to be happy like those kids in Reedley.” And for me, that is what counts for there is NOT A DAY that Pat isn’t happy when she is in REEDLEY. Everyone in the family has never seen her this
happy. Indeed, PAT has found her second home.
