Parents' Testimonials on SGIS O-LIVE

SGIS O-LIVE (Online Learning in an Integrated Virtual Environment) has been widely lauded as one of the BEST ONLINE DISTANCE LEARNING PROGRAMS among private schools in Pasig.

We asked several parents to share what they and their kids love about our online distance learning classes

We transferred our child to SGIS for this school year at the recommendation of a friend whose 3 children have been students of SGIS from the start and we are so happy we did! 

My Grade 11 son was able to attend the Dry Run last month and we were all very impressed by how the online classes were conducted. What impressed me most was even though it is an online class, there was still an active discussion and the teachers are still able to give personalized attention to the students. In our experience with other online programs in other schools, there wasn’t much conversation and students will just listen to the teacher and do their assignment and modules. I really appreciate the effort of the teachers to make the classes as interactive as possible and my son is now able to understand the lessons during class time (synchronous sessions) whereas he used to have to wait for his dad to come home to get help with his homework before. For any other follow up questions, the teachers are always available and very accommodating during asynchronous sessions. It’s still actually a full day’s schedule with the teachers. I can see my son actually learning during class time, working on his assignments, and gaining mastery of the lesson during asynchronous time. I’m glad my son is now able to get quality online education with SGIS!

Thank you very much to the teachers and management, kudos to offering one of the best online classes in Pasig!

Last year we were shocked with a crisis that forced us all to quickly adapt to a new normal. I was, and still am, impressed by how the school was able to sustain quality teaching despite the immediate transition to online classes brought about by the pandemic. I appreciate that the teachers were able to give my daughter, Anika Revilla, the discipline and persistence to attend classes in spite of all the distractions and laziness which transpired from staying up at home the whole time. I have friends from other schools who complained a lot because their kids were able to sleep through classes without the teachers knowing it. Contrary, I have observed my daughter being occupied preparing for school same as to when there were still regular classes.

I applaud the teachers for truly being understanding and patient to the students. I can see the right balance of leniency and discipline given especially that these times are the most difficult for the kids. I really hope that this would still carry on because for us parents who work during daytime, we can’t provide so much of our time to assist our kids. Thus, it really helps that the teachers were already providing them with everything they need without too much demands.

What I truly appreciate as well is the continuance of exercises from their PE class since the quarantine gave them almost no physical activities at home. I would often see my daughter doing warm ups and interval trainings which I believe helped maintain her strength, motor skills, and mental clarity despite being locked down at home. This, I really am grateful of because again some of my friends who enrolled their children from different schools were disappointed that there were no physical activities implemented from their chosen institutions. I am satisfied that, at least in some ways, my daughter was still encouraged to get her body moving.

In addition, I also found no problems with the platform used for online classes. From what I have observed, my daughter could access it with ease.

In my honest opinion, I have not encountered any issues from this online transition that is why my husband and I decided to still enroll our daughter in SGIS.

I’m so happy with SGIS! It was my first time to try online schooling for my 5-year-old son during the DRY RUN for Pre-K last month.

Prior to these online classes with SGIS, he didn’t know how to write and I really couldn’t get him to practice on his own. He would always say that he doesn’t want to go to school. But in just a few days doing the online classes, he was suddenly looking forward to it! And after the 5-week run, he is now able to read and write. The teachers were very patient and really good at teaching kids. I’m so happy that I enrolled him with SGIS because of the engagement the teachers are able to offer, even online. I know that for kids this age, it’s quite hard, but they were able to do it so well. I’m glad that despite this pandemic, I have found the best partner for my son’s online education. 

SGIS’ online learning program is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, and I applaud their excellent online teaching strategies.
