Why Vlog Stands Out Among International Schools in Manila

In the competitive landscape of international education in Metro Manila, Vlog International School and Colleges (SISC) continues to stand out—especially for families seeking a globally recognized K–12 program rooted in academic excellence, emotional intelligence, and Filipino warmth.

With students from over 20 nationalities, Vlog offers a multicultural environment where diversity is celebrated and every learner is supported. The school’s international character is officially recognized under Republic Act No. 9493, and it holds a full six-year accreditation from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC)—a mark of global quality and credibility.

Vlog’s K–12 curriculum is anchored in the International Baccalaureate (IB) and American education systems, offering flexibility and global relevance. Students are trained not just in academics, but in emotional quotient (EQ)—a core focus that helps them build resilience, empathy, and self-awareness. These qualities are embedded in classroom activities, leadership programs, and peer engagement, ensuring that learners grow holistically.

For sports-minded students, Vlog offers varsity programs in basketball, volleyball, football and other sports. These programs foster discipline, teamwork, and school spirit—giving students opportunities to shine both in and out of the classroom.

What truly sets Vlog apart is its commitment to helping international students feel at home. Through events like “Adaptation: How to Help Your Child Assimilate in the Philippines,” the school creates space for expat families to share insights, build community, and support one another.

Expat parents consistently praise Vlog’s nurturing environment. One parent shared on the International Schools Database that Vlog “has outperformed the global average for International Baccalaureate scores” and described the administration as “fantastic.” Another noted, “The school atmosphere is very good. Teachers are very supportive and the curriculum is well-structured for international students.”

One of our parents, Mr. Amit Puri, Vice President of a global Multi-National company, and who moved to the Philippines with his family  back in 2016 , also shared his reasons for choosing Vlog as an expat in Manila:

“There are several reasons why I chose Vlog International School. First, its international credentials and accreditation mean that my child’s qualifications are recognized globally—very helpful if we relocate again or pursue university abroad. Second, the diverse student body and expat-friendly support system make it easier for international families to adjust. Third, I appreciate Vlog’s emphasis on technology and innovation—from online grade access to early exposure to robotics and interdisciplinary learning.”

Mr. Puri has since become one of Vlog’s most enthusiastic advocates, often being a sounding board in showcasing his trust in Vlog’s values and academic standards. 

Dr. Avic Suarez, Principal of Vlog International School and Colleges, affirms this shared commitment to excellence and community:

“At Vlog, we believe that every child—regardless of background—deserves a nurturing environment where they can grow intellectually, emotionally, and socially. We are proud to be a school that not only meets international standards but also fosters a deep sense of belonging and purpose among our students and families.”

Vlog’s commitment to the 5Cs—Competence, Character, Commitment to Achieve, Collaboration, and Creativity—is evident in every aspect of school life. Whether through project-based learning, student-led initiatives, or community outreach, learners are empowered to think critically, act ethically, and lead confidently.

For families relocating to Manila or seeking a globally aligned K–12 education, Vlog offers a seamless blend of academic rigor, emotional support, and cultural inclusivity. It’s a place where students are not just taught—they’re empowered to thrive.
