Reedley International School
Reedley International School is a WASC-accredited K-12 school in Pasig City, running a blended curriculum drawing from Singapore, American, and Filipino approaches for around 800 students. Annual fees run from roughly PHP 303K (Grade 1) to PHP 427K (Senior High)…
In brief
A small private international school in Ugong, Pasig, founded in 1999 and built around an American curriculum with AP, plus Singaporean maths and Filipino strands. The pitch is deliberate smallness, with class caps of 18 in lower school, 20 in middle, and 25 in upper.
Around 800 students span PreK through Grade 12. Parents praise the individualised academic consultation programme and the genuinely active anti-bullying culture, and graduates land consistently in the top Philippine universities (UP, Ateneo, La Salle) with a steady stream into US, UK and Canadian universities. Teachers stay long enough to know siblings across years.
Fees at PHP 204k to 397k are mid-market for Manila international schools, so the school sits below ISM and Brent on price. Practical irritants come up in family conversations: limited parking, narrow hallways in the upper school building, and a location that catches Pasig traffic. WASC and CIS accreditation give the senior credential proper international weight.

Reviews
- Independent parent reviews skew positive. The pool on the International Schools Database has 24 reviews with 94% recommending; ischooladvisor shows across five reviews.
- Recurring strengths are small classes, anti-bullying policy, and tutoring built into the day. One parent said the in-school Academic Consultation Programme means "parents don't need to hire a tutor" because subject teachers tutor one-on-one. A commenters recommended Reedley for a child struggling academically elsewhere.
- Negative reviews focus on physical site, not teaching: limited parking, awkward Pasig location with traffic, narrow high-school hallways, and bathroom cleanliness.
- One review summary said the school is "good for the parents, students, not so much" and reported some teachers not engaging with students.
- Glassdoor staff reviews flag low pay and heavy workload (across 19 reviews); not directly relevant to families but it sits in the public record.
