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.
