“O” or opportunity for learning.
Opportunities for holistic learning were provided -
consistent with the approach of Paulinian education in the
Philippines. The learning opportunities included classroom
instructions and non-classroom activities. The
classroom instruction was guided by international
standards in English language teaching and learning.
To complement what one student has found to be
“extremely intensive” training, non-academic activities
were also included. There were spiritual growth
opportunities provided which most of them preferred not
to participate in, except for the reflective synthesis at the
end of the program. Thus, the program was largely
academic in nature and cultural activities that have been
formally arranged for them functioned as alternative
learning experiences.
