The Island of Siargao Learning Academy, Inc. (ISLA) is one of our cherished partners nestled in the lush landscape of Siargao. As the island transformed into a sought-after tourist destination, families from across the globe and within the Philippines found themselves in need of an educational setting that mirrors the high standards they’re accustomed to without losing the unique charm of island life. That’s where ISLA steps in, blending world-class education with the spirit of Siargao.
At the heart of ISLA is a learning philosophy inspired by Reggio Emilia, where education is vibrant and tailored to the individual styles of learners. It’s a place that encourages children to engage deeply with their learning, fostering a sense of wonder and exploration into both their immediate world and the world at large.
ISLA goes beyond traditional education, weaving in lessons of environmental care and community well-being, reflecting Siargao’s own ethos of balance and respect for nature. This approach creates a nurturing environment for students, encouraging them to grow not just academically, but also as mindful, caring individuals.
Catering to a range of ages from toddlers to grade schoolers, including those with special needs, ISLA is committed to inclusivity and providing a holistic education. With a curriculum that combines local insights with international best practices, ISLA ensures learning is engaging, relevant, and prepares students for the future.
