Hi, I'm also researching about ONE International School.

I checked the 'COBIS school search' -> https://www.cobis.org.uk/schools/cobis-schools and they're not on the list. Can someone verify/confirm this?

I'm a teacher at One International, and can confirm the school is a CIS (Council of International School) member school. I believe there are only 9 such schools in The Philippines, and only two outside of Manila (One International and Cebu International School). You can find confirmation of this here:

https://www.cois.org/membership-directory

I'm not aware that the school is a COBIS member school.

If you have any questions regarding the academic side/ curriculum feel free to message me. I can't answer any questions regarding fees, I don't get involved in that side. You'd need to contact the school directly with such questions.

I dont normally get involved in the squabbles that take place on forums for a number of reasons - I prefer to sit on the sidelines and watch - however: It seems that this thread needs to be updated for the sake of good, clear and correct information - I see that there are quite a few exsiting parents of kids at ONE International School (ONE International School Philippines that have posted in this forum replying to some misinformed people. So - for newcomers looking for an international school in Dumaguete with a British curriculum I would like say the following about ONE International School:

(disclosure - my son attends this school)

1) It is fully accredited with both Philippines Department of Education and the British Department of Education (Department for Education - GOV.UK . It is also the ONLY British International School in the Philippines that is registered with COBIS (Council of British International Schools) (Council of British International Schools (COBIS)

2) the teachers are fully qulaified and very able in their jobs.

3) the school is 100% transparent.

4) it is totally different to the other "international" schools I have snet my kids to in Dumaguete in that it actually has the kids best interests at heart.

5) Unlike the two other internationals schools I have tried here - there is no bullying of any type; in fact I dont think I could ever envisage such behaviour happeneing.

6) there is a very active PTA group that has regular and effective interaction with the school staff and owners.

7) there are Physical Education lessons and games several times a week in the form of classes and extra curricular activities - there is even Rugby.

8) the fees are "all inclusive" in that there
I hope this clears up some of the more ill informed comments that have been made in this thread by people that simply have not bothered to find out the diffrence between a quality school and a mere school.

I do not see any ill informed comments regarding One International School. The only comments that were made is that it is expensive for this area.
