The Basic Education Sector

Don Bosco Mandaluyong’s Basic Education Department realizes the importance of an individual’s adolescent years to their overall human formation. Since its establishment in 1953, the Basic Education Department has continued to develop the young in the pedagogy of St. John Bosco. That is, to mold them to be holistic, lifelong learners, equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills to face the twenty-first century.

At a young age, it is necessary that one receives the best quality of education and formation they could possibly get. An education that not only grants what is required in order to be deemed academically proficient, but an education that puts emphasis on discipline, morals, values, lifelong learning, and the holistic development of the individual.

We also see to it that our students study, work, play, meet friends, and pray in a community that educates by evangelizing and evangelizes by educating. We do this by faithfully executing Don Bosco’s motto of “Run, jump, make noise, but do not sin” through an environment wherein our students are not only allowed but actively encouraged to commune with one another, to play sports during their breaks, to actively participate in an environment brimming with co-curricular activities, to go out and pursue their interests, all with the participation of our faculty, priests, and lay mission partners.

We are also the first to innovate and one of the only schools to employ a unique dual academic and technical curriculum in the Philippines. Our technical programs not only enhance our student’s skills and knowledge in the fields of drafting, mechanics, programming, and electronics but also encourage them to apply what they’ve learned in their daily lives. This, coupled with the fact that Don Bosco’s unique emphasis on character formation from a young age, has led to our graduates being well-renowned in the industry for their capacity to adapt and excel in their own fields while retaining that signature Bosconian identity of remaining humble and morally grounded in whatever they do.
