Message from the Head of School

Welcome to Chinese International School Manila Where learning begins with warmth, and every student is welcomed like family.

Angelica R. Fernandez De Castro

Head of School

It is indeed an honor for me to serve as the Head of School at this outstanding institution.  Our school is dedicated to pursue excellence in all facets of education to allow each child to thrive not just academically but also in the other important aspects of development. Read More

At CISM, we put our students at the heart of everything we do.  We provide a safe and conducive learning environment. We celebrate diversity and foster creativity. We give them the respect they deserve and the support they need to be successful in and outside the school.  Our dedicated and committed faculty provides them with a well-rounded education that extends even outside the classroom to help nurture and ensure their holistic growth.  

Our teachers inspire with creativity and lead with compassion, making every lesson meaningful and engaging. Their dedication nurtures each child’s potential and reflects the true spirit of CISM.

The concept of service is also incorporated in the CISM syllabus through our Service Learning Program. This program enables our students to be aware of the social realities around them. Through this knowledge and awareness, our students compassionately respond to those in need, not only during difficult times, but more so in a long-term and sustainable manner.

All this and more are possible because of the very strong culture of a home-school partnership that has been forged through the years. CISM and our dear parents collaborate closely to ensure that all children learn in a very positive, caring, and supportive environment. Together, we also plan many interesting activities for the entire school community to enjoy. I trust that this message has encapsulated much of what our school has to offer and I hope to welcome you to our campus very soon.  As always, please stay safe. Read Less
