Elementary School Lessons

I have heard of Faith Academy in Antipolo/Cainta way back in the mid-90s but I have never seen the school. So when I got an email if I want to visit the school with other mommy bloggers, I said yes without hesitation.

Faith Academy is an International Christian school established in 1957 to cater to the children of foreign missionaries staying in the Philippines and elsewhere in Asia.

The school has diversified these days and now accepts those who are not children of missionaries and those who are from different religions and denominations. Primarily a Christian school, all students are taught Christian values and enrolled in Bible classes.
