After spending time with the soldiers in Camp Capinpin, “soldiers of JCS” gave their goodbyes to the soldiers of Camp Capinpin. Some Jceans endure the muds in their body inside the bus while the others changed their clothing. “Sa Falls na lang kayo maligo, malapit na lang yun dito” said Kuya Willie, one of the facilitators of Lakbay Kalikasan.

Eighteen pairs of students and five pairs of teachers, all hand-picked, performed the stately rigodon de honor. According to teacher Rosalyn Solis, prom dance coordinator, the dancers have been practicing an hour a week since December. By the second week of January, they were learning to waltz confidently. “The J-S Prom was memorable because the students were able to perform what they have started practicing,” she said.

Jabez Christian School (JCS) was wise to allow the Leadership Seminar to be conducted within its campus. Never have I attended a seminar quite like this one. Small-group discussions set it apart from all the others. Each group was composed of five to six students and one to two instructors. Warm-up questions were answered by each of the members before the main topic was revealed. The way, my mind was ready for the “real thing.”

What makes JCS different from other schools in Dasmariñas, Cavite that parents opt to enroll their children here despite the distance from their homes? The curriculum may not be different but the methods, procedures and expectations are. Classes are very structured, with high academic and behavioral standards. The children get good education and Christian training at a very reasonable cost.
