SMA Ensuring the Holistic Development of its Learners.
SMA is one of, if not the best, school if you are looking for holistic development for your child. Being able to support and help the child emotionally, mentally, and physically is always something that all parents want and look for in a school, especially if they are starting from kindergarten.
Teaching a child can be hard work, it is one of the hardest jobs anyone can do, including the fact that SMA can effectively teach a child things they would need in the real world along with helping the child be stable mentally, emotionally, and physically just adds to the workload.
So, I am very grateful for SMA for helping my child grow and become the best person he can be.

As the father of Franzel, I really wanted her to have a good education. Because for me, it is a sure-win lifetime investment for her.
There were many things I did consider prior to enrolling her in the right school. Quality teaching, good management, friendly/approachable teachers/staff, and better methods of nurturing a child are only a few of the many good things SMA can offer. But the most important factor that convinced me was the development (inside & outside school) that I personally witnessed from her 3 older cousins during their stay in SMA.
To this date, knowing that my daughter is still so eager to attend school even if she is not feeling well, is a very good sign that she is happy in SMA. And I am happy with my decision in choosing Stella Maris Academy for my child.

SMA Parents
Being loyal to the school rooted way back in 2013 when we enrolled our three kids, two of whom came from a different school. We are grateful to the school for our children having experienced equality at its best from SMA. We are confident to say that SMA teachers have a true commitment to equality as embedded in the SMA culture and is a core part of the positive learning environment.
Exploration of topics such as celebrating differences, recognizing and avoiding stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination. The teachers made sure that learners felt included, and teachers are not limited to implementing inclusive strategies. Learners’ voices, school councils, and clubs are being used to check if staff and learners feel that the setting has met their needs in terms of inclusivity. Teachers are capable of opening up space for every learner to share their ideas, opinions, and knowledge.
Also, teachers here (SMA), taught learners to disagree with others’ points of view respectfully. Thank you very much, SMA.

SMA Parents
They are encouraging kids to join extracurricular activities, promoting self-confidence to develop their skills and passion and explore other avenues of interest. It is quite a first for us to participate in several school events showcasing the students’ talents. The inclusion of kids with special attention and needs works both ways. By letting the kids learn how to adapt and go along with students of special concern and giving them the chance for others to learn at their own pace. By incorporating them into the group, children embraced that small responsibility to go and look after their peers and make them feel that they belong.
As parents, we are glad to hear that the kids are having fun at school sharing with us what happened throughout the day. They are always looking forward to a good day at school. Thank you Stella Maris Academy for the endeavor of transforming our children from brittle black coal to bright, sparkling, and precious hard diamonds

Twelve years ago, we made the right decision to send our 2 children to Stella Maris Academy. To date, my youngest son, Jair Heaven Santos, is currently enrolled in Stella Maris Academy and is in 1st grade. My overall experience has been very positive. My favorite part is the school learning curriculum.
Teachers always look for ways to make learning fun, keep the students engaged, and help them discover interest in learning. Having fun while learning what they are practicing helps the students retain information better because the process is enjoyable and memorable.

As parents, good education is the most important thing we can give to our children. Stella Maris Academy of Malolos is one of the schools that can be trusted especially for those who have children with special needs. Provides competent response and instruction that a child or student needs to learn. Treating children equally, teaching respect not only to adults but also to fellow students. One of the things we liked about Stella Maris Academy of Malolos is the honing of each child’s skills and great help to develop their talents.
Stella Maris Academy of Malolos is an institution that has been a big part of our son’s education. It feels good that Stella Maris Academy of Malolos has played a big part in shaping the foundation our son’s knowledge and skills. Thank you, Stella Maris Academy of Malolos for sharing your unique talent and wisdom, you are one of the reasons why we parents are satisfied to entrust our children to you.

As a parent of Alliyah, who is now in Grade 1, I can say that her improvement is undeniable. From preschool, we saw how her self-confidence grew. She wants to participate in every contest and challenge. Apart from the fact that the education at SMA is very good, their teachers are also excellent. Their patience and love for the students are always there. You can see and feel that they consider every student as their child too. I will never regret enrolling Alliyah here. Here I saw how they value education.
They don’t just study because while they study, students learn how to be a good person. So I know that I brought Alliyah to the right place. That is why my husband and I discussed that we will enroll our two children here as well. So SMA, thank you very much. We truly see this school as our children’s second home. More powers to all the staff, teachers, and Board of directors.
Ms. Francisco
SMA Parents
My wife and I are fully committed to the development of our children. So choosing the right school became a big decision for us. A school that will boost their esteem, acknowledge their differences from other children to help them cope, and most especially assist them to reach their potential at their own pace.
Truly, SMA upholds to its promise to help each learner shine like a star. Their brightness may differ from each other, but they are all stars in their own right.
Mr. Pablo
SMA Parents
We enrolled our daughter in SMA through the recommendation of our friends with kids enrolled in SMA. Our daughter was a bit shy when we enrolled in SMA since she didn’t have many playmates when she was growing up.
Now, my daughter is very active; she participates in all SMA activities, developing her self-esteem and her artistic side. She also developed leadership skills, taking on different responsibilities. The teachers are very hands-on in developing their students. They encourage them to do things out of their comfort zones. We also enrolled our son as we saw the development of our daughter, even though they started through online class. They are very hands-on, making sure that every student participates even in online classes.
When the classes went back to normal, my son was not reluctant to talk to his classmates. I see my son develop a lot through their activities in school, showing happiness while studying. They develop beyond learners beyond academics. We are proud parents of SMAERS.

I am grateful for the nurturing environment that has fostered my child’s personal and academic growth.
The dedication of the teachers at Stella Maris Academy of Malolos is exceptional. Their creativity and patience have truly made a positive impact on my child’s growth and love for learning.
Ms. Barbo
SMA Parents
Our son’s successful learning we would say has started in SMA when he was admitted in the special education program In Malolos, Bulacan. The teachers were so patient and kind in assisting him to improve his speech, mobility and also writing skills, until the time he had to qualify for regular class. He is currently in his 6th grade and excelling at everything, both academics and cultural aspects. SMA emphasizes the importance of individuality and belongingness by cementing the “I AM A STAR” slogan throughout the campus, making our son capable and confident at everything he does. We could not imagine how he is now without the support of SMA, especially in tapping his potentials in academics, arts and music to face the real world and to be independent as a person.
Mr. Marlon Umali
SMA Parents
As a parent of a grade 3 pupil, I was so amazed how SMA taps the potentials of all learners when my son represent the school for MACIPRISA. I saw how teachers are dedicated to train a first time pupil to compete. And we are so happy or letting our child to shine on his own ability. Thank you so much, SMA.

Stella Maris Academy has truly transformed my child’s educational experience, making it a joyous journey. From the engaging curriculum to the dedicated educators, every aspect of the academy radiates a commitment to ensuring learners are not just academically enriched but genuinely happy. The nurturing environment fosters a sense of belonging, making my child excited to go to school every day.
The innovative teaching methods and extracurricular activities offered at Stella Maris Academy play a crucial role in keeping the students engaged and enthusiastic about learning. The emphasis on holistic development has created a well-rounded educational experience, where my child not only excels in academics but also builds essential life skills. The friendly and approachable staff make the academy feel like a second home, creating a positive and supportive atmosphere for both students and parents. Stella Maris Academy’s focus on emotional well-being ensures that learners not only thrive academically but also develop into confident, happy individuals.
I am grateful for the genuine commitment this academy shows in ensuring my child’s happiness and success in every aspect of their educational journey.
Mr. and Ms. Pahati
SMA Parents
I’d like to extend my sincere gratitude to SMA for warmly welcoming my child into their special education program in Malolos, Bulacan. As a first-time school experience for my daughter, I was worried due to her lack of socialization skills, limited communication abilities, and tendency to keep to herself around other kids. But since enrolling in the program, I’ve witnessed a remarkable transformation in her demeanor. She has blossomed into a sociable individual, displaying increased awareness of her surroundings and engaging in communication with kids her age.
I can’t thank the teachers at SMA enough for their unwavering patience, dedication, and genuine passion in nurturing my child’s development. They’ve really gone the extra mile to help my daughter shine. What truly sets SMA apart is their inclusive approach; every child, regardless of their abilities, is treated with equal respect and care. The teachers go above and beyond, treating each student as if they were their own, fostering a sense of belonging and support.
Thank you, SMA, for making such a difference in my daughter’s life and for being a beacon of light for every student under your care. Your commitment to excellence ensures that every child has the opportunity to reach for the stars and shine brightly.
Mr. and Ms. Felizardo
SMA Parents
Stella Maris Academy is a place where every student gets a chance to shine, like stars twinkling at their own pace. They understand that each learner has unique strengths and talents, going beyond just textbooks. They don’t just focus on grades, but also on all the unique talents and skills each child has, like music, art, and sports.
I’m so grateful for how they’ve helped my son, Caleb, develop his skills by involving him in various school activities (big day, intrams, MI) and even inter-school competitions (Maciprisa and DSPC). Thanks to this, he is now much more confident in expressing himself, even in front of a crowd. Thank you, Stella Maris, for helping my son shine!
Ms. Regalado
SMA Parents
Thank you very much for giving us the opportunity to provide some insights on how we truly appreciate how SMA amazingly molded the early years of our two daughters, who both started their learning journey in SMA. Lianne Audrey is presently a Grade Six student who, through the best guidance and care of their school management leaders, had achieved, at this very early stage, individual honors in academics, sports, and extracurricular activities organized by the school authorities.
Our second daughter, Ada Celina, who is now in Grade One, has equally gained the success achieved by her sister likewise under the most able guidance, care, and leadership of SMA.
As parents, we are honored and proud to say that we made the best choice to entrust the education, well-being, and wholesome personality training of our young daughters. In effect, SMA for us is the best place for the overall preparation and foundation of young students. Again, thank you, SMA, for making all your pupils shine like STARS!
Mr. & Ms. Aguirre
SMA Parents
Both our sons’ journey of learning began at SMA with my eldest for his preschool in 2006 and the youngest for his preschool in 2014. SMA’s academic programs taught them not only to be better at achieving higher grades but also to be a better person. SMA ensures our children would experience standing and performing on stage to develop their confidence in facing the crowd. They focus on academic, cultural, and sports activities and provide equal opportunities for them. Now that our youngest son is currently in his 8th grade, we are sure that his teachers will guide him accordingly in achieving his goals.
Mr. Faustino
SMA Parents
SMA has been servicing the youth, tapping into their potential for the past 20 years, and our son is no exception. I’ve seen our child grow from a beginner kindergartener, to a mature student in Junior High School. SMA’s application of the Multiple Intelligences Theory of Howard Gardner is evident in the development of their students. They have Stellar Clubs which hone one’s abilities in a specific intelligence. Our son is a member of the Starlight Newspaper and we have seen his improvement in terms of writing and literacy. SMA’s activities, such as the Big Day and Intramurals, test the multiple intelligences of a learner. Our son has participated in Big Days for 12 years and garnered multiple accolades in the recent 20th Founding Anniversary of SMA. The school’s participation in inter school competitions, such as the MACIPRISA Meet and the Press Conference Competitions, has challenged our son to execute his talents nurtured by the school. Stella Maris Academy of Malolos provides a safe and nurturing learning environment that fosters growth, development, and learning. The school aims to help students develop the skills, knowledge, and values needed to become productive and successful members of society.
Mr. and Ms. Dela Cruz
SMA Parents
Stella Maris Academy of Malolos has truly lived by its philosophy that all SMA pupils will shine like stars. Both of our kids are in SMA, and we’ve seen how the school has guided them to discover and develop their multiple intelligences.
The activities and events that the school and teachers organize are well balanced, carefully planned, and consistently well executed. We also see how SMA gives equal opportunities to all learners to shine. We are always left in awe after every school event, delighted and proud not just of our kids’ but of other learners’ performances as well!
All SMA teachers, administration, and staff genuinely care for the well-being of all learners. They see to it that our kids are well taken care of, ensuring their safety is a top priority at all times.
SMA keeps us parents well-informed and involved in our children’s endeavors. The manner by which PTCs are conducted is also commendable. The 1-on-1 PTC sessions allow us to understand our children’s progress, strengths, as well as areas they can still improve on. Stella Maris Academy of Malolos is truly a great partner in the education and holistic development of our children! We wish you continued success on your mission to nurture and develop well-rounded learners! God bless you!

Dearest Teacher Nenette,
I hope everybody is well at SMA and in your household.
I am sending this because I can’t help but think of you and Stella Maris as I noticed that the Debate Team of BulSU-Laboratory High School who won 1st runner up in the 2022 Timpalakan that was held earlier today was composed of SMAers: Naomie Pagapulangan, Zizi Biwit and my daughter, Zeth. (It may not be because Zeth is part of the team but the common denominator is…they were SMAers)
Only SHS students trained them and luckily they were able to land 2nd place in a provincial level contest, I believe that an added factor to their achievement was the foundation they had during their elementary years. (First time that the entry of ours had reached the championship level, as I was told.)
Surely, the training they had from SMA (particularly in Sinagtala Theater Guild and as participants in MACIPRISA) helped them to become independent learners who can confidently strive to become better in their own little way… and I thank God that Zeth regained her confidence, too.
These girls came from different sections but still, they were able to adjust to their indifferences, manage their time properly, practice seriously, and strategize by themselves to prepare for the contest. These, probably are traits that had been developed during their SMA years. (Zeth actually surprised me about her participation to this contest.)
It’s been quite a while since they graduated from the elementary level in SMA and yet they are now in Grade 10.
I did not tell Zeth that I will be sharing this to you. I am simply inspired and thankful for what she’d become today because of you/SMA.
You are true to your mission and commitment. And I will be forever grateful and thankful to the entire SMA Family.
THANK YOU, Teachers. THANK YOU, SMA.
Ms. Zeñorina Merida

The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly affected schooling worldwide and raised serious concerns about children’s learning, and our daughter Cassie, was no exception to that. She was supposed to be enrolled in the school year 2020-2021 at the age of four. Unfortunately, a pandemic happened, hence, my husband and I enrolled her via online class the following school year instead. As parents, we got a bit worried about the thought that our child might be delayed in school versus her age. But through God’s guidance and lots of research, we found out about Stella Maris Academy, which became our close partner in bringing out the best in our child. At the start of the school year 2021-2022, Cassie was a bit shy, but through the guidance and patience of her teachers, she was able to overcome her shyness and enjoy her class more. She has also shown independence and an increased interest in learning, which eventually resulted in her transition from nursery to kindergarten in a span of 5 months.
Thank you, teachers, for all your support and knowledge bestowed on our child. And now that we are adapting to the “New Normal”, we believe that SMA and its teachers will continue to be the brighter and bigger stars that will always be there to guide our Cassie and ALL the other Little Stars on their turf. Again, thank you, SMA! All the best, and may God continue to bless the institution!
Ms. Sara Jane Brutton
SMA Parents
Our first choice of school has always been Stella Maris Academy of Malolos, Inc. Our child began her nursery years in this institution, and they’ve continuously proven that we made the right decision for her. She loves going to school, adores her teachers, and looks forward to seeing her classmates on a daily basis. This speaks a lot to us as parents, as we’ve noted how important it is for our child to like, if not love, the school and its environment that she’s in. So since the beginning of the pandemic last March 2020, we still chose to trust SMA to continue facilitating our daughter’s holistic and educational well-being by having her join the Synchronous type of learning. We were surprised that although online learning wasn’t much of a trend in Malolos, they’ve managed to plan a very compelling approach on how it is best done for the students by utilizing Quipper and Zoom to help the process become more seamless. Adjustments were made, of course, but it wasn’t much of a hurdle, so to speak, as our child adapted almost naturally to the new system.
SMA has chosen to be more welcoming and very understanding of every child’s needs. It is shown in how the teachers handle every student’s query during and outside class sessions, how they always communicate with the parents and seek their thoughts on matters, and most importantly, how they draw their decisions around the fact that would work best for everyone.
Mr. and Ms. Boncavil
SMA Parents
We are very impressed at how SMA has been handling the challenges of this pandemic without sacrificing the quality of education they have been giving our children. SMA has been versatile in their teaching strategies by combining new technologies with traditional and experiential learning, which makes learning fun and conducive for virtual classes.

How SMA Ensure the Holistic Development of Learners
SMA conquered the challenges brought by COVID-19 in the field of education. With the use of technology and the Learning Management System Quipper, online learning was made possible. Though its efficacy may be questioned, we think that SMA really did an excellent job in developing our children holistically.
Teachers managed to meet our children’s individual and social needs through drills, songs, games, painting, arts and crafts and more. They took advantage of pupils being at home to plant flower bearing plants, which my daughter really enjoyed because she is already harvesting its flowers. They are having physical activities like dancing, doing household chores, reciting poems, jazz chants, which can lead to greater independence and increased self-esteem which meets their communication, psychological and emotional needs.
Teachers make learning natural, engaging, creative and they instil values, too. They pay attention not just with the cognitive aspects of learning but with spiritual well-being as well.
Indeed, these initiatives have demonstrated that, from an academic standpoint, SMA made online learning as good as traditional learning. Teachers make sure that they include holistic components that will make online education meet the ever-changing demands of their learners.
Mr. and Ms. Rivera
SMA Parents
I really appreciate how much effort SMA introduces to make the online learning process effective, interactive, and fun for the students. Their online platform, Quippper, is very easy to use both for students and parents. I can easily monitor my kid’s school performance with it at one glance.
The teachers are encouraging and caring while giving an organized structure and guidance my kids need. I saw how they make sure of providing equal opportunities to all students to participate. The Multiple Intelligence activities cultivate every student’s mind to show them that they are all intelligent in different ways. This boosts their confidence and increases their motivation to learn.
And most importantly, the level of attention to holistically developing each and every student is a priority in SMA. It’s a great school where I know my kids are in good hands! Thank you SMA!
Ms. Elen Viernes
SMA Parents
I just recently enrolled my son as a Grade II student at Stella Maris Academy of Malolos and I have never been more impressed on how they develop their students academically and socially. Since the pandemic, it has been very challenging for the students to learn and to focus on their studies but SMA faculty has made it effortless. My child has grown in a way that he never would have at another school. SMA provides meticulous academic challenges, as well as the tools and strategies needed for one’s growth and learning. I am thankful enough for their effort and perseverance.
Ms. Ana Patricia Faustino
SMA Parents
Being my children transferred to SMA, they were able to adapt and adjust the SMA way. At first, the transition from their former school was rather difficult, but SMA teachers made it easier for my children to cope each day through their help and constant guidance. I noticed how their teachers give personalized attention to every student where everyone has a chance to participate and express themselves. It is nice to see my children focusing, working diligently and responsibly in managing their time to meet their deadlines. I see tremendous improvement with my kids both academically and behaviorally. What impressed me the most is the monitoring done by their teachers to ensure that each student does not miss any of their tasks. I also appreciate the teachers’ time and effort to meet with each parent to discuss student progress and also their recommendations for improvement. Thank you very much to SMA teachers and management, kudos to everyone for offering a seamless online class.
Ms. Ara Alejar
SMA Parents
Because of the pandemic, the education system made a 360-degree shift from face-to-face learning to online and modular learning. Kudos to all SMA Teachers, specially to those who have been teachers of Ijin and Marcuz. Despite the insurmountable obstacles and challenges you need to face, all of you have found creative and ingenious ways to make my kids online education, informative and enjoyable. Your interactive and creative ways of teaching are affirmation that with passion and dedication, teaching has no boundaries. I am fully grateful and honored that my sons have learned and gained a lot from all of you during these trying times.
Ms. Risha Mae Camacho
SMA Parents
Stella Maris Academy has exceeded our expectations in the continuous development of our children. SMA has a “Big Day” where every student showcases his/her talents in singing, dancing and acting. Because of this, our son develops his confidence and social skills toward other children. SMA also highlights the students’ strengths and weak points during Parents-Teachers Conference. Overall, the school gained our trust that is why we also enrolled our 2nd son to SMA. Thank you.
Ms. Nerissa Santiago
SMA Parents
This pandemic has made a lot of changes in our everyday lives and this does not exclude how our children will continue their education on a different type of setup. I know that this is going to be a very tough adjustment for everyone but still we put our trust in SMA and its faculty. SMA introduces collaborative learning. It involves the participation of not only the student and teacher but also us, parents. As much as teachers wanted to help in nourishing the knowledge of our children, we cannot put the entire weight on them. The teachers tap on different resources to make learning more interactive and fun. At first, it was difficult but with the relentless efforts of our dear SMA teachers, they thrive.
As online education continues, it gets easier and easier for the children to learn. SMA faculty and administrators are very open to comments and suggestions from parents to make this online learning a success. The teachers also adjusted to this new trend of education. Even traditional teachers learn the use of new technology to improve their teaching strategies. I would also like to congratulate the entire SMA faculty for a job well done in continuing the quest of achieving quality education amidst the situation that the world is in right now. More power and kudos for a job well done!

How SMA Taps the Potential of All Learners
Just take a look at our daughter Iya –from a shy to a confident school girl, and that was made possible through the assistance of SMA teachers. Inspite being online, her teachers were able to boost the confidence of our daughter as she was even elected president during her stint in Grade 2, and she’s currently holding the same position in Grade 3. Our daughter does not only exhibit the qualities of a good and responsible leader in her class, but she carries it as well at home, impressing us beyond what a 9-year-old kid can do as she accomplishes all the tasks assigned to her independently with eagerness and enthusiasm. We are so glad that we have the Stella Maris Academy as our partner to help us mold the brightest future for our daughter.

Good Education…
Passion for Excellence…
Multiple Intelligence….
Stella Maris Academy has been our parter in achieving these goals for our children. Our son experienced reading difficulties during his first grade. We were concerned about how he can keep pace with his learning modules. Fortunately, he was expertly assessed by Guidance Counselor Teacher Ellene as being smart in oral recitation. Thus, he was very ably guided by his teachers using innovative teaching techniques, thereby, giving him confidence to learn while slowly overcoming his reading difficulties. We are very thankful that our children are part of the SMA Family!
Mr. and Ms. Pineda
SMA Parents
The Covid 19 virus affected the whole world by disrupting our normal daily life especially our educational system. This pandemic challenged the education department on how they will continue to provide effective system for children to continue learning even if it’s limited to on-line classes.
In the beginning, most parents were skeptical how this on-line class will work, it’s all new to us, so many what ifs & will it be worth it questions. My daughter has been studying in SMA since nursery & from then on we’ve put our trust in the school to give quality service. When the pandemic came, they conducted a free on-line class to give parents idea on how it will work, and from how it went, we were able to trust them that they can guarantee quality education without giving us parents the hassle of worrying how we teach our kids. Two years had gone by so fast and I can attest that SMA stayed true to its promise that they will be the one to teach our kids & not us, we parents are just guides.
My daughter learns new things everyday from her teachers, surprised that she is able to do this & that, became more computer literate, can still communicate with her classmates on their group works & share their creativity in different fields. Every now & then, I would hear them perform as individual or group, short skits, sing & recite poems, having them filmed themselves do household chores, planting and even cooking. We all adjusted to this new normal. It has pros & cons but all I can say is that SMA has been very flexible enough to find & create ways to give quality education to our kids with high regards to moral values, love for God & respect to our nature.

When our eldest son Justine turned 5, my husband and I really decided to enrol him in Stella Maris Academy of Malolos. This is because most of the recommendations we got was “Stella Maris Academy of Malolos”. With the great performance we saw from our son and without any negative experience with SMA, we also enrolled our daughter, Janeene when she started her schooling.
For almost 14 years of entrusting our children’s education with Stella Maris, our children are continuously developing each year and discovering their fullest potentials. When pandemic came, we really thought of how Stella Maris would be able to deliver the same approach in educating their students. When online classes started, their approach and teaching strategies exceeded our expectations.
Teachers showed their dedication and commitment on how to encourage the students to adapt to the new learning methods; hard skills and soft skills are still evidently progressing even with online classes. Stella Maris provides a well-planned and self-motivated approach for the students. SMA guides and gives attention to students during each session and dedicates a day for student’s consultations.
As a working Mom, I did not experience any difficulty with my children’s studies. I find my children doing their tasks, assignments, and activities with enthusiasm. SMA upholds that their Pupils shine like STARS!

We have high regards as to how SMA Teachers are able to handle Online Classes. From the start of the pandemic about 2 years ago, SMA Teachers have shown determination, efficiency and creativity in helping students in one of the most difficult times of their lives. They were able to bridge the gap of being miles away from the school by providing interactive classes at all times. Thank you dear teachers, you are the driving force behind SMA’s success!

How SMA teachers handle online class
Alam nating lahat ang hirap na dala ng pandemya lalo na pagdating sa pag-aaral ng ating mga anak. Madami ang hindi nakapag-desisyon agad kung itutuloy ang pag-aaral ng mga bata sa pamamagitan ng online class. Ganoon pa man, ako at ang aking asawa ay hindi nag-dalawang isip na mag-patuloy at mag-enroll sa SMA dahil alam namin at tiwala kami sa kakayanan ng eskwelahan at ng mga guro.
Salamat sa mga guro sa lahat ng sakripisyo para maihatid ang quality education sa mga bata sa panahon ng pandemya- kung paano nila ginagawang interesante ang kanilang klase para hindi mainip o ma-bore ang mga mag-aaral, kung paanong naiihatid nila nang malinaw at maayos ang mga leksyon sa tulong na din ng teknolohiya, kung paano nila nagagawang gabayan ang mga bata kahit hindi nila kasama personal. Maayos ang sistema sa mga bata lalo na sa pag-papatupad ng rules & regulations. Para din silang nasa loob ng classroom. Bukas din ang kanilang komunikasyon kung may nais kang malaman tungkol sa iyong anak. Very approachable ang mga teachers at staff. Sumasama kasi ako minsan sa klase ng anak ko para obserbahan ang mga ginagawa nila. Madaming taon na din ang aming pinag-samahan ng SMA at mga guro kaya hanggang ngayon sa kanila ko pa din ipinag-kakatiwala at ipag-kakatiwala ang aking anak. Salamat po.
More Power, SMA & Teachers!

In the beginning of the pandemic, I was hesitant to enrol my child in SMA Online Classes. I was wondering if the time and money that will be put into it will be worth it. Two years have already passed and I can say that I made the right choice in enrolling my child in Stella Maris Academy. Not only did they deliver well but they surpassed my expectations. The teachers did a magnificent job in handling everyday online classes. It is like being inside a real classroom, with them interacting actively with their students online. I can say that all the time and effort we invested really paid off.
I would like to congratulate all the SMA teachers for a job well done in these past 2 academic years. We, parents, would like to thank you for your patience and hard work in teaching our children in the midst of this Pandemic. You have trained our children to rise above the challenge and to be resilient in the face of trials. Indeed, you have made Online Learning a success! More power and God bless.
