Tutorial and Remedial Services

The school also provides personalized tutorial services for students. The tutors assigned to your child are qualified teachers trained by SFAMSC to instruct and guide the child. Tutors of St. Francis Cainta teach the child by assessing individual strengths and weaknesses and tailoring lessons to the child’s abilities. The goal of our tutors is to make complex lessons easy to understand for their students.

The relationship of the tutor does not end with their relationship with their pupil alone. Tutors also build trust and cooperation with the child’s family through regular updates and discussion with the parents or guardians regarding the progress of their children.

Extra Curricular Activities

SFAMSC believes in "Cura Personalis" which is Latin for, the care and development of the whole being. A child can only be a well rounded individual if creative, moral, social and emotional skills are cultivated side by side with their academic skills. Students are encouraged to participate in various cultural, social and sports activities facilitated by the school. The school also have several very active and dynamic student clubs to bring out your child’s innate talents and social skills. These activities are closely integrated with the school’s curriculum to cultivate the development of various life skills that the child will need when dealing with the real world.
