The Global Filipino School (GFS) marked English Month with a dynamic Quiz Bee Competition, uniting students from Kindergarten 2 to Grade 12 in a showcase of knowledge and resilience. This celebration extended beyond academics, offering a glimpse into the unwavering spirit of Filipino students and their families who navigate life abroad.
For Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), working abroad often comes with the emotional cost of separation from loved ones. While parents endure long hours and cultural adjustments, their children face challenges of their own, including growing up far from the sacrifices that fuel their futures. GFS bridges this gap by offering affordable, Philippine DepEd-accredited K-12 education in the Middle East, allowing OFWs to keep their children close while pursuing better opportunities.
The English Month Quiz Bee wasn’t just about testing knowledge; it celebrated the determination of Filipino students thriving in a global setting. Participants across grade levels competed with enthusiasm, showcasing their ability to balance their heritage with their experiences abroad. For many, the event symbolized the triumph of hard work and adaptability, reinforcing the importance of education in building confidence and skills.
Understanding the financial pressures OFWs face, GFS offers the most affordable K-12 tuition in the region without compromising quality. This initiative ensures children can remain connected to Philippine education standards while staying with their families. By fostering a supportive community of global Filipinos, GFS strengthens family ties and encourages a brighter future.
English Month at GFS underscores the transformative power of education in uniting families and communities. The celebration highlighted not only academic excellence but also the enduring Filipino spirit—resilient, resourceful, and hopeful.
