I was invited to visit one of the promising schools in the
Philippines together with other fellow blogger friends where we had the chance
to meet the key people behind it. We are welcomed by Ms. Raquel Perez who gave
us the introduction about their school, iACADEMY.
It was followed by a breakout sessions with the Deans of
different academic divisions. We met Chair Ryan Abeledo for MMA and Dean Dane Romely
for Animation. It was very amusing to know how they teach their students. They use the modern, very practical and hands-on
in teaching that making their student learned not just the basics but the ins
and outs of the industry to shape their future in their chosen fields. Not to mention the state of the art
facilities and the environment that they have to keep their students creativity
immersed.
We also had the courtesy visit to iACADEMY’s President, Ms.
Vanessa Tanco, who is very hospitable and down to earth. Actually, I love her
Lego collections and heard that she was the one who assemble it. Amazing right!
Lastly, we had the campus tour. We use the stairs to fully
visualize the whole campus building as set to be creative because every floor
there is a mural with different themes that describes the schools and the
students of iACADEMY. Did I mention
before their state of the art facilities? Yes, they have it because they used
one is to one ratio with their computers and it was so impressive because they
have Mac computers for their laboratories. The libraries and their amphitheater
are very nice as well. They also encourage students to visit the faculty as
well as the president’s office if there are some concerns that make their
environment to be more like homey compare to other schools.
