Q: Can
I bring my family with me?
A: Married
international students are required to
bring their spouses and children with them.
Filipino students from the provinces must
also bring their families with them. They
may stay in our student housing facilities.
Q:
How about my child(ren's) schooling?
Do you have a daycare center?
A:
We currently have a cooperative school
(home schooling curriculum) called Achievers
International School that caters to our
international students’ kids from
3 years old and up. IGSL’s cooperative
school costs $360 per child per school
year. Only children living in IGSL dormitories
may attend this school. Prices at other
schools vary greatly, from free public
schools to $1,200/year for high quality
private schools. There are additional
costs for books and uniforms at private
schools, as well as transportation for
any school outside the IGSL campus.
Q: Do
you have medical insurance?
A: No, currently
we do not have medical insurance for our
students but we have the Group Medical
Assistance Fund (GMAF). The GMAF was established
to help defray major medical expenses incurred
by full-time degree students. Each student
needs to apply for coverage every term
@ PhP200/person/term. While this is optional
for Filipinos, international students and
their families are required to join. For
medical assistance coverage policies and
procedures, please inquire from the Admin
office. Internationals are highly encouraged
to get medical insurance prior to their
arrival in Manila.
Q: Do
you a school clinic?
A: Yes,
we have a school clinic managed by our
school nurse. Vitamins and medicine for
common illnesses are available for free
(special in-kind donations). However, if
you are from South Asia and are currently
on medication, we advise you to bring your
own medicine as they are much cheaper there.
