For many Filipino parents working abroad, leaving children in the Philippines has been a difficult sacrifice for better career opportunities. Ensuring a quality education for these children while staying connected as a family has been a challenge—until now. The Global Filipino School (GFS) offers a Philippine-accredited online K-12 education, specifically designed for children of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), allowing families to bridge distances without compromising education.
Inspired by The Global Filipino Magazine, GFS aims to celebrate Filipino resilience and empower children with a globally-relevant education. Classes are conducted online through Google Meet, taught by qualified teachers in the Philippines. This approach offers OFW families a convenient and affordable option for their children’s education, with tuition fees significantly lower than other online K-12 programs.
To further support OFW families, GFS provides various scholarships, including academic and sports scholarships, financial aid, assistance for single-parent families, and sibling discounts. These options ensure that every Filipino child, regardless of financial background, has access to education.
Following the Philippine Department of Education’s calendar, GFS’s 2025-2026 school year will start on June 16, 2025, and end on March 31, 2026. Enrollment opens in January 2025, with GFS recommending early registration. Strategic partnerships with schools like the Filipino Learning Center in Quezon City and Second Home Playhouse in Dubai help provide seamless transitions from early education into GFS’s online K-12 program.
The enrollment process is streamlined to accommodate busy OFW families. Parents can start by visiting any Filipino Institute campus across the GCC to submit necessary documents, pay a reservation fee of ₱10,000 (deductible from tuition), and select a payment plan. For families choosing full payment, a 5% discount is available, while an installment plan offers monthly payments for added convenience.
With an expanding presence and accessible tuition rates for all grade levels, GFS aims to make quality education a reality for Filipino families abroad. For more details, visit the GFS website at www.fik12.com or contact their team directly.
