Our faculty members gathered from May 25–27 for a meaningful time of learning, collaboration, reflection, and professional growth as we continue building a stronger IJS learning community.

Guided by the commitment to adapt without losing our mission, innovate without losing our values, and grow without losing our identity, the In-Service Education and Training (INSET) serves as an opportunity for teachers to strengthen their knowledge, enhance their teaching practices, and prepare for the upcoming school year.

May this INSET inspire all faculty members to become more effective, compassionate, and future-ready educators in service of the learners and the community.

Good luck to our IJSian Taekwondo athlete, Alexandra Angela A. Santalisis, as she competes in the Palarong Pambansa 2026 in Agusan del Sur from May 27–29.

Your IJS family is proud of you and cheering you on every step of the way.

May 21–22, 2026 — Middle administrators of IJS gathered for a two-day administrative workshop to reflect, collaborate, and reimagine the future of IJS Education amidst the educational reform taking place in our country.

Inspired by the Chinese proverb: “When the wind of change blows, some people build walls, others build windmills,” the workshop challenged school leaders to move beyond survival thinking and embrace systems, innovation, and mission-driven leadership.

Thank you to all middle administrators and partners who contributed to this important journey of reflection, planning, and transformation.

Facilitated by the School Director-Principal, we continue to build not just programs—but systems that help learners, teachers, and families thrive.

In the afternoon program, students continued to participate in exciting games and activities that strengthened friendship and teamwork. They also enjoyed the photo booth area and took part in fun photo opportunities with their fellow students.

The celebration concluded with laughter, cheers, and meaningful connections as the students officially became part of the IJS family.
