Golden Link School
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Golden Link School was founded in 2002 by the Theosophical Society in the Philippines. As of 2005, it offers courses up to Grade 6 Elementary Level. Its educational philosophy is characterized by the following:
- non-competitive, hence no first or second honors
- does not use grades to judge or compare students with each other, although there are regular scholastic assessment
- the teachers do not use fear as a way of motivating children
- promotes an atmosphere of acceptance, understanding, love and care in the entire school community, starting from the teachers and administrative staffs
- allows the studentry to set many of the rules of the school
- integrates values education in all phases of school life
- promotes love of learning as a way of motivating children to learn
- involves parents and elders very closely in observing the growth of children
- inculcating the growth and development of children through opportunities for expression and application
While the school is private and has tuition fees, it is open to those families who cannot afford to pay regular tuition fees. In fact, most of its students are under various forms of scholarship.
The school is located in Waling-Waling Street, Barangay 177, Caloocan City, Philippines.
