San Beda College Alabang

Everything was different nowadays since the entry of the pandemic. The SOL started accepting application for enrollment only online and payment is either OTC and would not entertain walk-in applicants. The classes will be held online as well, thanks to Zoom meetings used nationwide for company meetings and all forms of contactless communication. It becomes alternative that physical presence of students is not allowed. It's different from what it used too as a student before. ATM is now installed at the main entrance unlike before that regular commuters must walk 15 minutes outside the Village, where ATM is readily available, particularly in Molito and Alabang Town Center. The Alabang Hills Village becomes quiet again. As of now, I'm not sure if the Alabang campus was converted as well since it becomes a University in Mendiola campus in Manila. But there has a downside too. High School students are more noisy than College students. The crowd sometimes feel you suffocated. There is a 200 meter open field to be used as a soccer and marathon practice, nearby is the covered basketball court that has a size of 50 meters. It is huge. You may be bored to watch high school students playing either as a practicing athlete or as their off-class pastime, unless you are attracted to their male abdominal abs while practicing. Yes, especially soccer players when they play shirtless, when boys keep themselves playing without T-Shirt and only the red shorts they are wearing. There is a swimming pool but reserved only during PE Class. The depth is 6-7 meters, even the 6 footer tall person can be submerged. All of these are temporarily gone during the pandemic. There are gazebos only outaide the vicinity of High School campus but within the SBC Compound.

Pros: -Looks nice -Working AC Cons: -Saturday classes -Overpriced snacks -Starts WAY too early -Timed bathroom trips (5 minutes max) -Sexist teachers (Mostly to boys) -Topic outline is never followed -Scam products in bazaars -Over the top security -Punished for the smallest things -Broken equipment Conclusion: I recommend you enroll and learn somewhere else

Currently studying here since Grade 1 as a Grade 6 student and it is a very very good school but bullying is a big issue here and also the constant late memos/announcements, thank you

Too hot. But the place is quaint. I can imagine myself losing myself in the walkways.

I strongly advise against enrolling your children in this school due to several concerning issues. Firstly, the school's system is flawed, and they unjustly charge extra fees for facilities and equipment that students do not even utilize. Furthermore, there was a recent disturbing incident where a student jumped from the 6th floor of the building. Shockingly, the area where this tragic event occurred has not been properly cleaned, and blood stains are still visible. This neglect is especially troubling considering the proximity of the incident to the building where young children aged 5 to 8 attend classes. In addition to the aforementioned concerns, it has come to light that certain faculty members engage in unprofessional behavior. There have been reports of teachers openly criticizing students' work, followed by gossip and laughter among faculty members due to the work not meeting their standards. Furthermore, there are disturbing allegations of sexual harassment and inappropriate relationships between teachers and students, both within and outside the school campus. Moreover, the school's guidance counselors appear to be ineffective in providing support for students' mental health needs, despite the school's claims of prioritizing mental well-being. Actions taken by the guidance counselors contradict their stated commitment to students' mental health, raising doubts about the sincerity of the school's statements. Lastly, complaints have surfaced regarding the high prices of food in the canteen, coupled with inadequate portion sizes. Both students and staff members have expressed dissatisfaction with the pricing structure and the meager portions provided, highlighting further areas of concern within the school community. I hope that this review has shed light on the concerning issues present in this school. It is my earnest wish that parents reconsider transferring their children here, as such issues should not be overlooked or endured by anyone!
