From the recently concluded AMSLI (Asian MathSci League, Inc. Philippines) qualifying examination last August 24, 2024, the Basic Education Sector is thrilled to announce the list of students who successfully qualified to join the AMSLI Mathematics Enrichment Program (AMEP) for the School Year 2024-2025. DBTC was one of the institutions selected by the AMSLI to partake in this enrichment program. The program was open to all grade school, junior high school, and senior high school students. In line with this, the students need to undergo a qualifying examination to assess and determine if they are eligible for the program.

The Mathematics Area led the event through the leadership of the Subject Area Head, Mr. Michael Vizconde, with the assistance of the other Salesian Educators. This is the first time the school has participated in this activity with the assessment conducted in our school as a testing center.

A total of 112 grade school students and 28 high school students participated in the paper-and-pen test. Once qualified, the students shall undergo ten 3-hour sessions to be trained to develop their critical thinking and problem-solving skills under the guidance of AMSLI’s math mentors. 

Exam results were later released on September 07 through their official website. A total of 140 Bosconians, qualified for the AMEP. To access the list of qualifiers, visit their website at https://amsliphil.blogspot.com/.

Last September 7, 2024, the following teachers attended the AMSLI Mentor’s Training- Seminar held at the School at the Holy Spirit in Quezon City. This seminar aimed to equip teachers with innovative strategies to mentor students, enhancing their critical thinking and problem-solving skills in mathematics.
