In brief
CAS is a small progressive school in Makati delivering a North American curriculum that mixes US Common Core and Next Generation Science Standards with Canadian standards in the arts and world languages. Headed by Bon Farolan with students drawn from 28 nationalities.
The school runs preschool through Grade 12 and pitches itself on early multilingualism, with French, German, Hebrew, Japanese, Mandarin and Spanish exposure from preschool. An Exceptional Education Program integrates SPED modifications with the general curriculum. Fees in USD run roughly USD 11,800 to USD 18,800 per year, well below the headline Manila names.
Parent voice online is genuinely thin, with no significant body of independent review. The school's own marketing emphasises diplomatic and multinational corporate enrolment, but the small scale and absence of major international accreditations limit external visibility. Best fit for Makati and BGC families who want a North American curriculum at a friendlier price point and accept they are choosing a small, lower-profile school rather than ISM or Brent.
