Opportunity Call
Be an angel investor to the first and only private basic education school in the Philippines with Science-based curriculum to be operated under problem-project based learning (PPBL) pedagogy and to be framed under the scientific philosophy of Albert Einstein.
The Project in its Context
The Philippines, one of the fastest growing economies in Asia, sees the vital role of Science in its pursuits of achieving its national and regional development goals.
With the growing number of middle-income families in the Philippines, preference and demand in the study of Science-based education has been growing in the last few years. However, Science-based education in the basic education level is limited and mainly exclusive to scholars. Open and unrestricted access to Science education has been a challenged for there are no private service providers. EINSTEIN School of Sciences intends to fill and bridge this gap.
The institutional mission of EINSTEIN is to equitably provide an open and non-restricted access to quality and affordable Science education in order to produce graduates who are competent and confident to take up medical, engineering , IT and other Science-related courses in higher education; graduates who possessed work-ready and entrepreneurial skills; and graduates with high sensed of professional ethics and community service.
EINSTEIN envisions itself as the leading premiere private science school in Mindanao and throughout the Philippines islands which will be achieved through quality teaching-learning; innovative research-based Science projects; community engagements; and national-international accreditation specifically with NIE (National Institute of Education) in Singapore. Institutional growth will be achieved and sustained through corporate expansion mainly through national franchising after three years of streamlined operation.

- Average annual school fees in each educational level are graduated; and projected based on annual inflation rate in education services.
Risks & Challenges
A school is a people-centric enterprise. Hence, people, particularly teaching staff, are the main risks and challenges. This can be addressed by a forging strategic and sustainable partnership with stakeholders namely by:
- Hiring curriculum and pedagogy consultants from DepEd and Philippine Science HS;
- Establishing linkage with local universities and colleges;
- Offering attractive and tailor fit (according to qualifications and experience) to prospective teachers and admin staff (signing bonus-in service training, above industry basic pay and allowances- children education, insurance, annual educational and spiritual tours)
