Dear Valued Parents and Guardians,

Greetings of peace in the name of Jesus, the Good Shepherd!

Allow us to extend our heartfelt appreciation for your gracious presence to our Parents’ Virtual Assembly held last April 01, 2023, where we explained our school’s plans and preparations for School Year 2023 - 2024. Here is the summary of the important points discussed during the assembly, to wit:

1. To give way for the renovation of Cardinal Sin Building which will begin this May, GSCS will be implementing blended learning modality for the first semester (1^st and 2^nd Quarters) of SY 2023 - 2024. For Nursery, Kinder, and Grades 7 to 12, it will be a combination of 4-day face-to-face classes and 1-day asynchronous classes. For Grades 1 to 6, it will be 4 days of face-to-face classes and 1 day of online classes. No more pure online distance learning next school year.
2. Here is the tentative schedule of face-to-face classes next school year:

3. By second semester (starting January 2024), upon the completion of the new building, GSCS will shift to full 5-day face-to-face classes.
4. There will be a minimal increase in tuition fees next school year. The final schedule of fees will be provided soon. However, for reference, kindly click this link to view the estimated fees for SY 2023-2024 as presented during our virtual assembly: https://tinyurl.com/Tuition2324

In view of these vital information, allow us to provide you with pertinent details regarding our enrollment next school year:

A. RESERVATION

Continuing learners will be given priority in enrollment. For sibling learners who are staying on, here is a pro-rata scheme for the first, second, and third child, respectively. This reservation fee is non-refundable but deductible from the tuition to be paid upon enrollment. Reservation rates are as follows:

1^st Child – ? 5,000.00             2^nd Child – ? 3,000.00                 3^rd Child – ? 2,000.00

Beginning April 13, 2023, we will be accepting reservations for SY 2023 - 2024. This priority slot is good until July 29, 2023. This means that reserved learners must make their enrollment final or definitive on or before the deadline to avoid being downgraded to waitlisted status and/or losing their preferred section. Payment of reservation fee will be accepted until May 16, 2023.
