Our Mission

An education built around the child, not the other way around.

For more than two decades, John Vincent Academy has held a simple belief: that every child arrives with their own way of seeing the world — and that the classroom should make room for all of them.

We are an inclusive school by design. Children with and without learning differences share the same classrooms, the same friendships, the same milestones. Our teachers are trained to meet learners where they are, not where a curriculum says they should be.

The result is a school where pace varies but standards don't, where success is measured in growth rather than rank, and where families become part of something larger than a school day.

01

Belonging

Every child has a seat that is meant for them.

02

Growth

Progress is personal — and worth celebrating.

03

Excellence

High expectations, met with the right support.

Why John Vincent Academy

Six things parents tell us they were looking for.

We didn't set out to be a different kind of school. We set out to be the one we wished existed.

Genuinely inclusive classrooms

Children with special needs aren't separated — they learn alongside their peers with support woven into the day. This isn't an add-on. It's our default.

Teachers who notice

Small class sizes mean teachers know each child — their name, their strengths, the look they get when something isn't clicking yet.

A curriculum that adapts

We follow national standards — but the way we get your child there flexes to their pace, interests, and learning style.

Real partnership with parents

You'll hear from us about more than report cards. Communication is open, frequent, and honest — because raising a child is a team effort.

A safe, warm environment

Kindness is taught explicitly. Bullying is addressed early. Children who are different aren't tolerated here — they're welcomed.

Online + in-person options

Flexible delivery so families can choose what works — without compromising on the quality of instruction or the warmth of community.

Our Programs

Three programs. One philosophy.

Foundational Years

Play & Learn

Before formal schooling begins, children need a place to be little — to play, to make friends, and to discover that learning feels good. Our Play & Learn program is that place.

  • Hands-on, sensory-based activities
  • Early social-emotional development
  • Gentle introduction to school routines
  • Parent-and-child sessions available
Age Range 1.5 – 3 years
Schedule Flexible, half-day
1–3 Early Years
Preschool

Kindergarten (K1 & K2)

The preschool years are when a child's relationship with school is set. We make sure that first impression is one of confidence, curiosity, and being known by name.

  • Pre-literacy and early numeracy foundations
  • Inclusive classrooms from day one
  • Creative expression: art, music, movement
  • Filipino and English language development
  • Light introduction to Chinese language and culture
Age Range 3 – 5 years
Schedule Half or full-day
K1
K2 Preschool
Elementary School

Grades 1 through 6

Six years where confidence is built, identity takes shape, and learning becomes something a child does — not just something done to them. Our elementary program honors that journey.

  • Aligned with K-to-12 national curriculum
  • Differentiated instruction within each classroom
  • Specialist support for learners who need it
  • Values education woven through every subject
  • Available online and in-person
Age Range 6 – 12 years
Schedule Full-day, Mon–Fri
1–6 Elementary
What inclusive really means

Not a program. A way of teaching.

"Inclusive education" is a phrase many schools use. What we mean by it is specific: children with learning differences sit in the same classroom as their peers, follow the same lessons, and form the same friendships — with the support they need built quietly into the day.

It's not a separate track. It's how we teach everyone.

When my daughter was diagnosed, we were told she'd have to go to a "special" school. JVA showed us a third option — and watching her sit beside her best friend at recitation has made every difference.

Admissions

How to enroll — in four honest steps.

We don't believe in entrance exams that filter out the children we'd most love to teach. Our process is about getting to know your family.

01

Visit the campus

Come for a tour. Meet the principal, see the classrooms, ask any questions. No appointment is too small.

02

Submit application

Complete the enrollment form along with your child's documents. We'll guide you through what's needed.

03

Learner conversation

A relaxed conversation with your child — not a test. We're getting to know who they are, not ranking them.

04

Welcome to JVA

Once accepted, we'll walk you through tuition, schedules, uniforms, and what to expect on day one.

It means children with learning differences study in the same classrooms as their peers, follow the same curriculum, and form the same friendships. Where individualized support is needed, we build it into the school day — quietly, without isolating the child. We've been doing this since the school opened in 2002.

We work with a range of learning profiles, including children on the autism spectrum, ADHD, dyslexia, speech and language delays, and other developmental differences. We'll discuss your child's specific needs during the admissions conversation to make sure we can serve them well.

Tuition varies by program and year level. We'll share the full fee structure during your campus visit or upon request — including payment plans and any additional fees for specialist support.

Yes. We offer both online and in-person delivery for elementary grades, and families can discuss which option fits their situation. Some learners thrive in one mode; some do a hybrid; we work with you to find what's best.

We deliberately keep class sizes small — typically well below what larger schools operate with — because inclusive teaching only works when teachers can actually know every child. We'll share specific ratios during your tour.

Monday through Friday, between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM. Weekday mornings are best because you'll see the school in motion. Schedule ahead so we can give you our full attention.

A campus tour takes about 45 minutes. You'll see classrooms while they're being used, meet teachers and the principal, and have time to ask the questions that matter to your family.
