THE SCHOOL'S VISION AND MISSION

THE SCHOOL'S VISION: 
Ridgeview Academy of Baguio is second to none in providing educational services in Baguio and beyond.

THE SCHOOL'S MISSION:
To provide quality education that is open to all learners; to mold every student holistically; to empower them with skills and values that they may use as they go through life; and to instill the four pillars of learning through innovative teaching strategies. 

THE FOUR PILLARS OF LEARNING

According to UNESCO's report of the International Commission on Education for the 21st Century, education must be recognized around 4 fundamental types of learning.


Learning to Know:
It may be regarded as both a means and an end of human existence. People have to learn to understand the world around them.


Learning to Do:
Learning must transform certified skills into personal competence. It is assessed by looking at a mix of skills and talents, social behavior, personal initiative and willingness to work. These are often referred to as interpersonal skills or people's skills by employers. Knowledge along with other qualities like communication, teambuilding and problem solving skills is most demanded by the service sector these days. People must learn to act appropriately in any kind of situation and they must become involved in shaping the future.


Learning to Live Together:
Education should help in inculcating a spirit of empathy in students so that it can have a positive effect on their social behavior throughout their lives. Understanding each other, resolving conflicts through dialogue and discussion should be the essential tools of present day education.


Learning to Be:
The aim of development is the complete fulfillment of man and his development in a holistic way as an individual, member of a family and community and as a responsible citizen.
