Reedley International School

Families comparing international schools in Manila who want a strong academic programme in the eastern part of the metro often shortlist Reedley International School. This profile sets out what GlobalSchoolGuide Editorial has verified about Reedley: its curriculum and pathways, where it sits on fees, its admissions rhythm and the community around it. We are independent and no school pays to be listed, so this is a reference for relocating parents rather than a prospectus.

Reedley International School was founded in 1999 and is located on J. Cruz Street in Barangay Ugong, Pasig, in the eastern part of Metro Manila near the Ortigas business district. The school built its reputation on an academically demanding programme that draws together the strengths of more than one national system, and it gained its first WASC international accreditation in 2013. Alongside that accreditation it holds membership of the Council of International Schools and the East Asia Regional Council of Schools, and recognition as a Certified School of Character.

Curriculum and academics

Reedley International School builds its programme by taking what it judges to be the best approaches from several systems. Mathematics and science follow Singaporean standards, language arts and social studies follow American standards, and the whole programme satisfies the academic regulations of the Philippine Department of Education. In the senior years the school offers Advanced Placement courses, which let able pupils sit college level examinations recognised by universities, alongside senior high school strands in Accountancy and Business Management, General Academics, Humanities and Social Studies, and Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. Reedley does not run the IB curriculum offered by several of the city's other internationals, so families who specifically want the IB Diploma should note the difference, while those drawn to the rigour of the Singaporean and American blend with an AP pathway will find a clear and well structured route to university. That deliberate combination of systems is the school's main point of difference.

Reedley International School fees

Reedley International School sits in the mid band for Manila, below the city's most expensive tier one internationals while charging more than the budget end of the market, with tuition rising through the grades to senior high. New families should expect a one off registration or enrolment charge on first entry alongside annual tuition, plus the usual recurring extras. The school publishes its current rates on enquiry.

Admissions

Reedley International School admits for the school year that opens in August and processes applications on a rolling basis subject to places, with entry points across the grades. Demand is strongest in the lower grades, where most families first join and continue upward. Assessment considers prior school records and an age appropriate readiness or placement check, with attention for older entrants to the fit between the applicant and the demands of the Advanced Placement courses and chosen senior high strand. Families relocating to Pasig and the eastern Ortigas corridor should register early and contact the admissions office to confirm availability and the documents required.

Location and who goes there

Reedley International School is on J. Cruz Street in Barangay Ugong, Pasig, in the eastern part of Metro Manila. The location is convenient for families living in Pasig and the wider Ortigas area, one of the metro's major commercial districts, and it offers an alternative to the schools clustered to the south around Bonifacio Global City and Parañaque for households based on the eastern side of the city. The campus serves the full age range on a single site, which keeps siblings together and simplifies the school run.

The community combines internationally minded Filipino families with expatriate households based in the Ortigas and Pasig area, drawn by the academic programme and the convenient eastern location. It is a mid sized school rather than one of the city's largest, which suits parents who want a structured academic environment without the scale of the biggest internationals. For families who expect to move again, the WASC accreditation and Advanced Placement results support transfers and university applications, and such families often compare Reedley with the wider list of international schools in Manila in our directory before booking visits.
