On April 29, 2026, Isidore actively participated in the Learning Systems Reform Policies Orientation for School Heads, facilitated by the Department of Education (DepEd) Central Office. The orientation was conducted via YouTube public viewing and was attended by school heads from Regions II, III, and X.

The seminar provided a comprehensive overview of key reform policies in the Philippine education system, set to be implemented in the School Year 2026-2027. Among the major topics discussed were the Policy Guidelines on the Implementation of the Three-Term School Calendar in Basic Education, Policy Guidelines on Learning Continuity in Emergencies, and the Revised Guidelines on Classroom Assessment, including updates on grading systems, awards, and recognition under the K to 12 Basic Education Program. Additional reforms relevant to strengthening learning systems nationwide were also presented.

Following each synchronous session, Dr. Arcelita J. Gaspar, School Principal, led the Isidore team in collaborative reading and in-depth analysis of the presented policies. This approach allowed participants to better contextualize the reforms and align them with the school’s goals and practices.

The orientation was attended by a dedicated group of school leaders and facilitators, including Teacher Marjorie P. Fajardo, Head Teacher; Teacher Mary Rose Caparas, Preschool Lead Facilitator; Teacher Trisha Ignacio, Primary Lead Facilitator; Teacher Angelica Almerol, Intermediate Lead Facilitator; Teacher Brenelli S.

Isidore is committed to staying informed, adaptable, and proactive in delivering quality education in alignment with national standards and evolving educational policies in the Philippines.

Four Isidoreans have once again proven that excellence knows no borders, earning international recognition at the Global English Language Olympiad of Southeast Asia (GELOSEA) International Round held in Singapore from April 5 to 8, 2026.

In the Primary 6 division, Chloe J. Gaspar claimed a Bronze Medal, while Ziv Marcus Delos Reyes, Ada Jiahnna Sacdalan, and Dannel Jacob Vialu each achieved Silver Medals. Notably, no Gold or Diamond Medals were awarded in this category, elevating the Silver Medal as the highest honor presented during the awarding ceremony on April 7 at D’Marquee, Singapore.

On April 4, the Isidore English Champions flew to Singapore, accompanied by Mommy Donabel G. Vialu, Mommy Maui Delos Reyes, and Mommy Joahnna Sacdalan. Their tireless support, encouragement, and hands-on care kept the learners motivated throughout their journey in Singapore. From the national round through intensive preparations and training, Teacher-Coach Brenelli S. Francisco guided the team, strengthening their skills and building their confidence. The School Administrator Teacher Ann Marie S. Bartolome and the Chief Executive Officer Sir Jose Ronello T. Bartolome also provided strong and valuable leadership and support, ensuring the learners, as well as Teacher Bren were fully prepared to excel on the international stage.

Although the School Principal Teacher Arcelita J. Gaspar could not join the trip in person, her influential leadership, guidance, and encouragement were deeply felt and played a vital role in the team’s victory. The same support was shared by the learners’ fathers, Daddy Reniel Roy Gaspar, Daddy Edgar Vialu, Daddy Arnaldo Sacdalan, and Daddy Joshua Philip Delos Reyes, whose presence was equally meaningful despite the distance.

The delegation checked in on April 5 at D’Resort in Pasir Ris, Downtown East, the official residence of this year’s GELOSEA, where they had the final coaching session with Teacher Bren before heading to the competition venue for orientation and the examination proper. That evening, they joined the Welcome Dinner, connecting with fellow delegates from across Southeast Asia, enjoying a traditional Lion Dance performance, and exchanging cultural souvenirs. 

On April 6, the participants experienced Singapore beyond the competition through a city tour that included visits to Gardens by the Bay, Universal Studios, Sentosa, and the spectacular Wings of Time Fireworks and Symphony show, broadening their cultural perspective and creating unforgettable memories.

Representing Team Philippines, the Isidoreans brought home four medals, sealing a proud achievement for their families, Isidore, the city, and the nation. 

This journey was also made possible through the collective support of the entire Isidore community, who purchased jackets and t-shirts as part of the fundraising initiatives for the delegates, as well as the backing of Malolos City officials, particularly Mayor Atty. Christian D. Natividad, Vice Mayor Engr. Gilbert T. Gatchalian, Representative Danilo A. Domingo, and members of the City Council, who provided financial support to aid some of the competition-related expenses.

As Isidore nurtures learners for global success, these young achievers demonstrate the power of determination, preparation, and support on the world stage.

One of Isidore’s valued parent-partners, Mommy Joana Kimberlyn Lucas, generously donated three sets of two-way radios and two boxes of long bond paper to the school on March 30, 2026.

Mommy Kimberlyn is the mother of Briana Ashley L. Dionisio of Grade 6-Babbage, one of this year’s graduating learners. With a sincere desire to support the school community, she willingly extended her help through these meaningful contributions.

The items were formally received by Teacher Ann Marie S. Bartolome, School Administrator; Teacher Arcelita J. Gaspar, School Principal; Mr. Romeo Luciano Jr., Technical Staff; and Ms. Jesusa B. De Gala, Accounting Officer.

Briana personally turned over the donations on behalf of her mother, making the moment even more special. Mommy Kimberlyn shared that Briana was truly delighted to take part in the donation, as Isidore has been a significant part of her childhood, a place she has grown to love deeply.

The Motorola C51 handheld two-way radios, designed for both indoor and outdoor use, will serve as a valuable tool in enhancing communication among school personnel. Meanwhile, the long bond paper will greatly support the printing of essential documents for daily school operations.

Isidore extends its heartfelt gratitude to Mommy Kimberlyn and Briana for their generosity and continued support. Their kindness stands as an inspiration to the entire school community, beautifully reflecting the spirit of partnership.

In a meaningful gesture of support for the school’s educational and health programs, the School Parent Teacher Association (SPTA) turned over two brand-new microphones and a medical-grade nebulizer on March 26, 2026. 

The turnover was led by SPTA President Ms. Donabel Vialu, who was joined by her husband, Mr. Edgar Vialu, and their daughter. Representing the school’s administration to receive the items were Teacher Arcelita J. Gaspar, School Principal, Teacher Ann Marie S. Bartolome, School Administrator, Teacher Rowena Castro, SPTA Secretary, and Mr. Romeo C. Luciano Jr., Technical Staff. 

Such initiatives are vital to the school’s operations. Isidore highly appreciates the SPTA’s proactive role as parent-partners, whose contributions directly benefit the learners and the entire community.

Isidore de Seville Integrated School successfully held a meaningful Purple Day celebration on March 26, 2026, in partnership with the Philippine League Against Epilepsy, Inc. (PLAE) and MedChoice Pharma Inc. The event gathered parent-partners, learners, faculty members, and non-teaching staff in a united effort to promote awareness and understanding of epilepsy.

The program opened with a warm welcome from School Principal, Teacher Arcelita J. Gaspar, who highlighted the importance of compassion, awareness, and breaking the stigma surrounding epilepsy. She also expressed her appreciation for the presence of medical professionals and the support of Teacher Ann Marie S. Bartolome, School Administrator, in making the event possible.

Dra. Madelyn Pascual, an esteemed pediatric neurologist and Internal Vice President of PLAE, served as the resource speaker for the session. She delivered an informative and engaging discussion on epilepsy, covering its causes, common misconceptions, various types of seizures, and appropriate ways to assist individuals experiencing seizures.

She was joined by fellow advocates of epilepsy awareness: Dra. Mari Fay San Diego, a reputable neurologist and former President of the Philippine Neurological Association, and Dra. Maria Rowena Casi Cruz-Cruda, a respected pediatrician and child neurologist. Together, these distinguished doctors serve not only as champions of epilepsy awareness but also as inspirations, motivating others through their dedication, expertise, and commitment to compassionate care.

The event was further enlivened by special performances from Sir Rein, Teacher Nicole, Teacher Pat, and talented learners Cian Grae Acosta and Chloe J. Gaspar, who shared their musical talents with the audience.

Some of the storytellers of the R.E.A.D (Reach, Engage, Appreciate, Discover) Outreach Program, along with Teacher Mary, also presented a storytelling piece. 

As part of the program, a Certificate of Appreciation was awarded by Teacher Archie and Teacher Ann to recognize the PLAE. The latter then presented a Certificate of Recognition to the school for its active support in advancing epilepsy awareness.

Learners shared meaningful reflections from the seminar. Among them, Grade 6 learner Lexi Salonga emphasized the importance of promoting inclusivity and eliminating stigma toward individuals living with epilepsy.

The celebration concluded with the distribution of food packs for all attendees and special gifts for learners, generously provided by PLAE and MedChoice Pharma.

The school extends its sincere gratitude to Philippine League Against Epilepsy, Inc.,  MedChoice Pharma, and parent-partners for their partnership in championing epilepsy awareness and education.

Isidore de Seville Integrated School officially launched Isidoreans R.E.A.D. (Reach, Engage, Appreciate, Discover) this February as its newest community outreach initiative, bringing storytelling sessions to selected Day Care Centers in the City of Malolos, Bulacan.

The project was conceptualized during a planning meeting led by School Principal Dr. Arcelita Gaspar, CHRA, who called on the Supreme Elementary Learner Government (SELG) Adviser, Teacher Christy Rose Umali, to propose a meaningful outreach activity. While peer tutoring for Grade School learners was initially suggested, Marketing Officer Teacher Arlene Pagsanghan recommended beginning with Day Care pupils. Teacher Archie thought that through storytelling or puppetry, Isidoreans could lend a helping hand to young Day Care pupils. Considering the school’s ongoing academic and co-curricular commitments, the group agreed that storytelling would be a practical and impactful starting point. The proposal was subsequently approved by School Administrator, Teacher Ann Marie Bartolome.

To prepare for the outreach, SELG officers, together with select class and club officers, underwent a short training under the supervision of SELG adviser Teacher Rose and Teacher Arlene, with Teacher Archie as the learners’ trainer. The Isidore officers were guided on proper voice projection, clear articulation, and expressive delivery to effectively engage young listeners. Teacher Mary Caparas and Head Teacher Anri Crisostomo are the main readers.

During the scheduled visits, the Isidoreans read short stories and interacted with the children from the Day Care and they responded with enthusiasm, actively participating and listening attentively throughout the sessions.

“The children were very engaged and excited during the storytelling,” said Ma’am Cordella Ramos, a teacher from Maunlad, Mojon Day Care Center. “Activities like this help develop their listening skills and imagination.”

Ma’am Jane Valdez, a teacher from Mojon Day Care Center also expressed appreciation for the initiative. “We are grateful for this partnership. The storytelling session inspired the learners, and we hope to have more activities like this in the future,” the teacher shared.

Parents of the Day Care pupils likewise observed the positive impact of the activity. Mommy Karen Dolz, shared, “ My child eagerly listened to the story and showed increased interest in reading”. Another parent, Mommy Donnabelle Vialu, noted that “After seeing older students read to younger children, my child is encouraged to view reading as an enjoyable activity.” They described the Isidorean readers as good role models for the Day Care pupils.

The Isidoreans reflected on their experience as both challenging and rewarding. Calvin Gab Alegre, Secretary of Grade 5-Minsky admitted, “I was feeling nervous at first but gained confidence after seeing the children’s positive reactions.” Another reader, Chloe Gaspar, President of Literary Club said, “The activity helped us understand the importance of reading with expression and enthusiasm.” Reese Oona Pascual, President of Grade 5-Atanasoff described the outreach “This is a meaningful opportunity for us to serve the community beyond the classroom.”

The School Parent-Teachers Association (PTA) extended its support by being present in the visits and encouraging continued collaboration between the school and the Day Care Centers.

Through Isidoreans R.E.A.D., the school aims to promote literacy at an early age while fostering leadership and social responsibility among its learners. School officials expressed hope that the program will continue to expand and inspire more young readers in the community.

The Grade 6 learners held a two-day retreat in Tagaytay City on February 26-27, 2026, with the theme “Growing Together: Knowing Myself and Others.” The retreat aimed to help learners better understand themselves while strengthening their relationships with one another.

The program began with meaningful reflection activities such as “Stone, Leaf, Feather,” led by Teacher Marie Rose Villano, Guidance Coordinator, and “Stand If This Is You,” facilitated by Teacher Anri Crisostomo, Head Teacher, and Teacher Mikaellah Abundo, Intermediate Lead Teacher. Learners also explored integrity and courage through “Freeze Frame Drama,” guided by Teacher Angelica Almerol, Grade 6 Adviser. One of the relevant and heartfelt parts of the retreat was when the participants listened to an unfeigned talk on responsibility and independence by Teacher Arcelita J. Gaspar, the School Principal.

Also included in the activity were energizing exercises, team-building challenges, and fun Palarong Pinoy games.

The retreat was also attended by the School Administrator, Teacher Ann Marie S. Bartolome; Admin Assistant, Teacher Princess Bernardo; and Miss Dioana Camua, the School Nurse, whose presence and support contributed to the success of the event.

The retreat concluded with quiet reflection, leaving the learners with deeper self-understanding and stronger bonds, truly living out the theme of growing together.

On January 30, 2026, Isidore buzzed with innovation and excitement as learners participated in this year’s Robolympics, centered on the theme, “Where Curiosity Meets Technology: Inspiring the Next Generation of Thinkers.”

Isidoreans worked in teams to design, build, and code their own robots to complete a series of challenging tasks that tested their creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration skills.
Guided by their coaches, each team applied principles of robotics, programming, and teamwork to deliver strategic and efficient solutions.

Isidore also celebrated notable achievements in Mathematics. Matteo Dominic S. Bautista earned 7th Place in the Preschool division, Gadiel P. Tan secured 3rd Place in Grade 1, and Phil Kalyx C. Santos achieved 4th Place in Grade 2. 

Behind these achievements is the dedication of their teacher-coaches, Teacher Marjorie Fajardo, Teacher Erika Reyes, Teacher Anri Crisostomi, Teacher Rowena Castro, Teacher Mary Rose Caparas, Teacher Merlyn Villanueva, and Teacher Mikaellah Abundo, who devoted their time and expertise to guide and prepare the learners for the national stage. The school administration, led by Teacher Ann Marie S. Bartolome and Teacher Arcelita J. Gaspar, along with supportive parent-partners, also played an important role in making this meaningful experience possible through their unmatched guidance and support from training to competition day. 

Congratulations, Isidoreans!

Two unforgettable days of excitement and camaraderie happened on February 18 and 19, 2026, as Isidore held its much-anticipated annual Sportsfest. Learners from preschool to Grade 6 filled the school grounds and game venues with cheers, determination, and vibrant team colors in a celebration of sportsmanship, teamwork, and camaraderie. 

The opening program set an inspiring tone as Teacher Archelita J. Gaspar, the School Principal, delivered a speech, encouraging learners to value teamwork and embody sportsmanship throughout the competition.

A highlight of the ceremony was the opening of the Mr. and Ms. Sportsfest 2026. Representatives proudly wore their team colors in stylish sportswear, confidently showcasing not only their talents but also their wit during the question-and-answer portion. The candidates impressed judges with their poise and intelligence. The contestants’ parents also attended to support their children. 

The ceremonial lighting of the torch was carried out by Dannel Jacob Vialu, Grade 6-Babbage, symbolizing the official start of the games. Each team then raised their respective flags and performed lively team chants.

To energize everyone for the day’s activities, a lively morning Zumba session was led by the Music and Movements Club moderated by Teacher Trisha Ignacio. Learners, teachers, and staff joined the upbeat routine.

The first day of competition featured a variety of engaging games, including Blockblast, Kapogs, Chess, and Goal Tac Toe.

On the second day, the energy intensified with major events such as Big Volleyball, Smash and Defend, Touchball, and Mobile Legends. Players gave their all, cheered on by classmates and teachers.

Even the preschool learners took part in the fun, participating in activities such as Balance the Ball, Sack Race, Pass the Ball, and Island Hopping.

One of the most anticipated moments was the crowning ceremony. Mr. and Ms. Sportsfest 2025, Ram Felix Valencia and Lexi Mionette Salonga, gracefully passed their crowns to the newly crowned Mr. and Ms. Sportsfest 2026, Jake Lucas Igle of Grade 6-Pascal and Euclid Jasiel Trinidad of Grade 5-Atanasoff.

After two days of intense yet friendly competition, Sunkist Orange emerged as this year’s overall champion, earning an impressive total of 220 points.

The success of the Sportsfest was made possible through the dedication of the Sports Club Moderator, Teacher Ayo, and the Assistant Learner Activity Coordinator, Teacher Nicole, whose careful planning and preparation ensured a smooth and memorable event. With the strong teamwork of the faculty and administration, Isidore’s Sportsfest 2026 proved once again that sportsmanship, teamwork, and camaraderie remain at the heart of the Isidore community.

Love, generosity, and compassion were brought to life as Isidore conducted its Outreach Program on January 31, 2026, at Tahanang Mapagkalinga ni Madre Rita in Guiguinto, Bulacan, where Grade 6 learners spent a meaningful day of service and fellowship with the beneficiary children of COINS project. 

The outreach activity allowed the learners to bond with the children through interactive games, meaningful conversations, laughter, and the sharing of talents.

The activity marked the culmination of this year’s Charity of Isidoreans Never Stops (COINS) Project, an initiative that encouraged learners to save coins in their coin banks. Through these small yet heartfelt acts of generosity, the learners were able to extend meaningful support to the children at the orphanage.

During the program, Andrey R. Baltazar, Vice President of the Supreme Elementary Learner Government (SELG), shared an inspirational message emphasizing the value of simple acts of kindness. “This activity teaches us that helping others does not have to be big or complicated. Simple actions like being friendly, listening, and showing respect can make someone feel happy and valued,” he said.

SPTA President Ms. Donabel Vialu also delivered a message of gratitude, thanking the orphanage and the school for providing the opportunity to help and to expose learners to the value of service. She left a meaningful reminder, stating, “Sa pagbibigay ay mas nagiging ganap ang pagkatao.”

The project was guided by Teacher Arcelita J. Gaspar, School Principal, and Teacher Ann Marie S. Bartolome, School Administrator, with the active leadership of the SELG officers and their adviser, Teacher Rose Umali. The program was made possible through the collective efforts of the teaching and non-teaching partners, as well as the strong support of parent-partners led by the SPTA President, together with her husband Mr. Edgar Vialu and their children.

A formal turnover of donations was conducted by Teacher Princess Bernardo, Administrative Assistant, while Sister Yen formally accepted the donations on behalf of the shelter. She expressed her heartfelt gratitude to everyone who extended love, generosity, and support to their community.

COINS served as a powerful reminder that when hearts unite in compassion and service, even the smallest coins and the simplest acts of kindness can create a lasting and meaningful difference.

Sinimulan ang programa sa isang panalangin na pinangunahan ni Mathea Alexa D. Enriquez mula sa 4-Hopper, kasunod ang pag-awit ng Lupang Hinirang na pinangunahan ni Erudite Chalice Alindato mula sa 5-Atanasoff.
Nagbigay naman ng makabuluhang pagbubukas ng programa sina Athacia Grace B. Urizza at Chloe J. Gaspar, mga piling mag-aaral mula sa ika-anim na pangkat. Isa sa mga tampok na bahagi ng programa ang espesyal na pagtatanghal ng mga gurong sina Bb. Mary Ann Nicole B. Matic at G. Rein Teodoro na nagpamalas ng galing at talento sa pag-awit.

Nagkaroon din ng iba’t ibang aktibidad ang mga mag-aaral na tumutugma sa tema ng pagdiriwang. Isa sa pinakakaabangang karanasan ay ang “Pilipinas sa Isang Silid”, isang silid na puno ng mga tanawin, kultura, kasaysayan, at simbolo ng ating bansa. Sa pagbisita rito, higit na naunawaan at napahalagahan ng mga mag-aaral ang yaman ng ating lahi at kulturang Pilipino.
Bukod sa mga pagtatanghal, paligsahan, at mga makabuluhang aktibidad, nagkaroon din ng masarap na karanasan ang mga mag-aaral sa pagtikim ng iba’t ibang kakanin mula sa iba’t ibang panig ng Pilipinas. Ang pagkilala at pagtikim sa mga pagkaing ito ay nagmulat sa mga Isidorean sa mayamang kultura nating mga Pilipino.
Naging bahagi rin ng makabuluhang araw ng mga mag-aaral ang pagiging bahagi ng “Book Fair" kung saan nagkaroon ng pagkakataon ang bawat isa na bumili ng mga librong pambata, at mahikayat ang pagmamahal sa pagbabasa.
Ang matagumpay na selebrasyon ay hindi maisasakatuparan kung wala ang sipag at dedikasyon ng mga tagapag-ugnay ng programa na sina Bb. Patricia Coleen Cortez at Bb. Ellaine Cruz, na buong pusong nagplano at nag-organisa ng mga gawain para sa lahat ng mag-aaral.

Ang pagdiriwang ng Buwan ng Wika at Literary Week 2025 sa Isidore ay tunay na naging makulay, makahulugan, at makasaysayan, isang paalala na ang wika at kultura ay mahalagang sandigan sa pagkakaisa ng sambayanang Pilipino.

In the end, Team Blue was awarded the overall winner, but every participant left the place with something far more valuable, that is, renewed connections, mutual encouragement, and shared joy in working together. 

One of the most uplifting moments of the activity was the inspiring messages delivered by Teacher Arcelita J. Gaspar, the School Principal. With sincerity and wisdom, Teacher Archie reminded everyone of the deeper calling behind their work, the call to serve with faith, lead with purpose, and strive for excellence in all things. The presence of Sir Jose Ronello Bartolome, Chief Executive Officer, and Teacher Ann Marie S. Bartolome, School Administrator, added further meaning to the activity, as their unwavering support and gentle encouragement reaffirmed the school leadership’s dedication to both the professional and personal growth of their employees. 

Deep gratitude is extended to the hardworking Admin Staff who worked quietly behind the scenes to organize the activities and ensure the safety and comfort of all participants.

As the team returns to their roles with refreshed spirits and a renewed sense of purpose, they are more than ready to welcome School Year 2025-2026, united in mission, strong in faith, and committed to growing together for the good of every learner and the entire Isidore community.

The fifth and final day of the week-long Preschool Readiness Program of Isidore, which began on May 26, was marked with joyful learning and energetic activities. The program aimed to help young learners smoothly transition into formal schooling and it did so.

Throughout the week, the children were introduced to foundational concepts including vowel sounds and numbers. The young learners sang songs, danced to lively tunes, and participated in hands-on art projects. They also played educational games, which helped them practice what they learned.

Guiding the young learners through this enriching journey were Teacher Jo, Teacher Mary and Teacher Anri who closely observed and supported each child. Their patient guidance and gentle encouragement played a significant role in helping the learners build confidence and readiness for the next step in their educational journey.

As the program wrapped up, it is indeed a mission accomplished to ready the young learners, as they spent the week, filled with learning, laughter, and the excitement of new beginnings.

The Preschool Readiness Program at Isidore continues to be a joyful and enriching journey for our young learners. Now on the 4th day of the program, the children are becoming more comfortable with classroom routines while developing foundational skills through fun and engaging activities.

This week, through the efforts and guidance of Teacher Jo and Teacher Mary, the learners focused on familiarizing themselves with the vowel sounds A, E, I, and O, and number 1, 2, 3, and 4.
Alongside phonics and numbers, the children took part in dance exercises and movement games. These activities also served as a delightful outlet for their energy
Creative expression was also a highlight, with art activities allowing the learners to explore colors and shapes.
Equally important, the children are being gently guided to follow instructions and adapt to classroom routines. With the help of patient and nurturing teachers, they are learning the importance of listening, taking turns, and transitioning between activities.

As the program continues until tomorrow, May 30, Friday, we look forward to witnessing even more growth and excitement in our young learners.

Isidore Robotics Program utilizes LEGO Education in partnership with the Philippine Robotics Academy. Isidore launched the integration of the Robotics Learning Program from Kindergarten 2 to Grade 6 in 2023. The program introduced the principles of robotics and programming to Isidoreans at an early age, demystifying complex Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics learning through playing. 

The LEGO Education WeDo 2.0 is offered to Kindergarten 2 to Grade 3 learners to develop and enhance their algorithmic and problem-solving skills. The WeDo 2.0 robotics core set has 280 building pieces that combine LEGO bricks, sensors, motors, and software to design a space rover, tadpole, earthquake simulator, and more exciting guided and open projects for the Isidoreans. The software provides a child-friendly drag-and-drop interface that allows the learners to program their robots and witness the results of their coding in real-time. 

The learning tool for Grades 4 to 6 learners is the LEGO Education Spike Prime Set. The set includes 528 LEGO Technic pieces, partnered by its software which provides unit lessons, building instructions, and a coding platform using the Scratch programming language. The SPIKE Prime contains 7 electronic components: 1 large motor, 2 medium motors, a distance sensor, a force sensor, a color sensor, and the hub with a 6-axis gyro, accelerometer, speaker, microphone, and battery. The diversity and functionality of the set and its software enable learners to create advanced mechanisms, models, and robots.

This program provides myriad possibilities for Isidoreans in building and programming. Using these two comprehensive educational tools—the WeDo 2.0 and SPIKE Prime.

Following Isidore’s 21st Founding Anniversary celebration last December 2023, which is centered in innovation, the school also came up with the initiative to update its website. 

Thus, the Isidore de Seville Integrated School's website has been improved to make it more user-friendly, relevant, and in line with the most recent technological developments, in collaboration with Nexbridge Technologies Inc., a premier software and website development company in the City of Malolos, Bulacan. 

The website revamp was performed with the intention to provide the school’s stakeholders and more potential parties  and partners who visit the  website an enhanced digital experience, as Isidore places a high value on communication and engagement.

Educational institutions play a vital role in empowering today's youth by developing competent and effective learners. Throughout the years, Isidoreans have consistently shown their best effort, exceeding expectations, while embracing gratitude for small and unpredictable moments. Isidore de Seville Integrated School continues to nurture and value learners' talents through fun and engaging art classes, including basic drawing and origami, and music classes under the tutelage of Maestro Nemencio Macapugay. Appealing artworks and musical instruments like ukulele, guitar, and violin are taught meticulously to Isidoreans.

Music is a universal language that everyone speaks. With proper music and art lessons, we can help increase learners’ motivation, leading to better attitude and improved academic performance. 

According to Maestro Nemie, "Kapag nag-aaral ka ng music parehong sides ng brain ‘yung nagpa-function, kaya mas nagiging mahusay ang mga bata academically at nag-iimprove ang kanilang emotional intelligence." 

Parent-partners’ support to their children in learning arts and music is paramount in encouraging the learners to practice their crafts and skills and to continue solidifying their desire to excel. As Isidore and its parent-partners commit to continuously help Isidoreans not just academically, but also socially and emotionally, its enhancement programs will surely enable the learners to flourish in self-awareness, sustain positive relationships, and become their best possible selves.

Isidore de Seville Integrated School is now home to the first and official Philippine Robotics Academy (PRA) in the City of Malolos, Bulacan. PRA is a certified center for robotics excellence in the Philippines.

On March 17, 2023, Ms. Ann Marie S. Bartolome, School Administrator, with Teacher Arcelita J. Gaspar, School Principal, and Felta's Representative, Ms. Nani Villanueva, signed the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with Felta Multi-Media Inc., the pioneer and leader in Robotics Education in the Philippines. The MOA signing officially makes Isidore de Seville Integrated School the first and only school in the City of Malolos, Bulacan to have a Philippine Robotics Academy.

Isidore began robotics in 2012, but now, with the school's partnership with FELTA, 2023 offers a greater deal of learning opportunities. Robotics integration into the learning program through the LEGO Education solutions from Kinder 2 to Grade 6 can help develop learners' ability to solve problems and provide varied solutions. It will also allow Isidoreans to build and explore, hone their visual communication skills, enhance lifelong learning patterns, improve social interactions, and achieve effective incorporation of knowledge through realistic learning experiences.

Having PRA as the newest addition to Isidore also lays the groundwork for every Isidorean to be a part of the Philippine Robotics Olympiad and FLL Philippines, where learners have the opportunity to be part of the Philippine Robotics National Team and compete in the world's largest and most prestigious robotics competitions.

It's no wonder that children are akin to exploring, playing, and tinkering with intriguing discoveries. Isidore intends to assist learners in channeling their innate curiosity and creativity into something that could lead to their rewarding careers in the future, now even made more possible by having PRA in school.

As a basic education institution, Isidore has always been committed to delivering a learner-centered, performance-based, and progressive education.
