Smaller class size for the lower levels. For Big school levels, this ranges from 25-35 students per class. Do you offer special programs (e.g., gifted, neurodivergent)? We do not offer special programs for neurodivergent children. However, some of them may be admitted based on their skills (cognitive, socio-emotional, physical skills) if they can cope in the classroom with other students.

At PAREF Schools, we value personalized learning and close mentoring relationships. Our typical student-teacher ratio ranges from 12:1 to 20:1, depending on the grade level and school. What is the PAREF mentoring system? The strongest tool for personal formation of the student in the PAREF schools is mentoring. Each student is assigned to a mentor, who chats with and guides the student-mentee personally in achieving academic and character excellence. The mentor also holds sessions with the mentee’s parents. How is character formation integrated into daily learning? At PAREF Schools, character formation is at the heart of education. It is not a separate subject, but is woven into every aspect of school life—from classroom discussions to co-curricular activities, teacher-student interactions, and even parent formation programs. How often do students meet with their mentors? The regular communication between the mentor and the mentee, and the mentor and his/her mentee’s parents, paves the way for greater knowledge of the potential and accomplishments, as well as understanding of the temperament and behavior of the student. In a climate of friendship, sincerity and trust, the mentoring system facilitates the formulation of goals, strategies and action plan for the child to grow in responsibility, maturity, love for God and others, and be the best person he or she can be. The mentor meets with the mentee at least once a month. Do you have a sports programs? Yes we have a sports program in the PAREF Schools. PAREF recognizes the value of sports not just as a physical activity, but as a powerful tool to form individuals. Through the experiences of training and competition—whether facing challenges, setbacks, or victories—students are given opportunities to grow in character. Our dynamic Sports Program promotes virtues that can develop the student’s personal formation such as perseverance, self-discipline, and hard work. The PAREF Sports Program helps students grow in character, making them strong and virtuous. What is the tuition fee for each level? Tuition fees at PAREF Schools vary depending on the grade level and specific school location.

Collaboration and partnership between the school and the home are essential to ensure the students' holistic development that help them achieve their potential and direct them towards doing good. Do you have regular parent-teacher meetings or mentoring sessions? Yes we do have regular parent-mentor chats. Mentors meet with parents at least 3x/ year.
