Testimonies

It seems like divine providence that we were brought into the gates of St. Mary’s Academy of Iloilo City (SMAIC). True enough, the staff were very accommodating and welcoming, guiding us through the whole process of evaluation, interviews and enrollment. Our grandson was enrolled in SPED (Special Education) with a program specially tailored for his needs along with proper interventions and therapy. And that was 10 years ago, he’s now a teenager, graduated from SPED and into PREVOC Intermediate 3, hopefully into regular Grade 9. Since then, he has found a home, his niche, a place where he belongs and can be himself and progress with his teacher’s loving guidance and care.

I enrolled Lashah to SPED one-one-one. I started
seeing huge improvement in her. Able to follow commands; can drink on a cup without using straw; can take off her clothes and shoes; stopped wearing diaper in the morning; can identify leters, numbers, things, animals; started playing with her brother and cousin. These are some of the numerous developments that Lashah showed since she started going to this school.

Over the past nine years at SMAIC, I have witnessed Jyles’ remarkable Progress. I extend my sincere appreciation to the school for nurturing my son. A special acknowledgment to the dedicated teachers for molding Jyles into the individual he is today. Helen Keller’s words resonate, emphasizing the importance of recognizing each child’s strengths. I am grateful for the remarkable strides Jyles has taken under your guidance.”
