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.
