Philippine Online K–12 School Experience for Filipino Families Worldwide.
Filipino Institute provides the daily online classes, teachers, schedules, and assessments for Kinder to Grade 12. Our DepEd-accredited partner schools in the Philippines serve as the official school of record and issue the LRN, report cards, and Forms 137/138.
This model is designed for OFW families in the Middle East, students in the Philippines, and Filipino children in other countries who need a stable Philippine K–12 curriculum that travels with the family.
How the Philippine Online K–12 Model Works
