Sa masigla at makulay na selebrasyon, ipinagdiwang ng Isidore de Seville Integrated School ang Buwan ng Wika at Literary Week 2025 na nagbigay-diin sa temang “Paglinang sa Filipino at Katutubong Wika: Makasaysayan sa Pagkakaisa ng Bansa.” Ang mga mag-aaral, guro, at kawani ng paaralan ay nagsuot ng kani-kanilang tradisyunal na kasuotang Pilipino na lalong nagbigay ng damdamin ng pagmamahal sa sariling wika at kultura.
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.

The final day of the training, June 11, introduced the teachers to the Philippine Robotics Olympiad (PRO). They were given challenges inspired by PRO tasks.

This comprehensive training not only reinforced the school’s commitment to 21st-century learning but also ensured that Isidore’s faculty members are fully equipped to integrate robotics into their teaching across grade levels. The school is deeply grateful to Felta Multimedia Inc. for their continued partnership and expert guidance.

With these preparations, Isidore de Seville Integrated School proudly moves forward into SY 2025-2026, ready to innovate.

To prepare for a new school year, the Faculty and Staff of Isidore de Seville Integrated School came together for the Collaborative Development Activity held from June 3 to 5, 2025, at Bhriella’s Farm in Longos, Calumpit, Bulacan. This activity served as a meaningful time for the Isidore team to realign their goals, strengthen relationships, and renew their shared commitment to the school’s mission and vision. 

Throughout the three-day activity, both teaching and non-teaching personnel were given space to reflect, share stories, and express their hopes and aspirations for the upcoming academic year. With ready hearts and open minds, they engaged in a blend of reflective conversations and spirited team-building exercises that developed trust, laughter, and a sense of unity that goes beyond the workplace.

Dynamic games and challenges also sparked joy and healthy competition between two teams, Team Red and Team Blue. Both poured their energy, creativity and strategy into every activity. 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.

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.

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.
