Antioch School Manila

A Letter from the Director

In March 2020, schools unexpectedly closed all their doors to their students. Our Antioch School Manila community was excitedly preparing for end-of-school-year rites. We were finalizing Kinder and Elementary Graduations and Preschool Moving Up. At the same time, we were putting together our yearbook, preparing for final exams and projects, getting ready for our family missions to Naga City and Vietnam and so many other activities that we were looking forward to. But in a blink of an eye, everything changed. What we planned and expected was not going to happen. All our preparations for naught.
