Cavite School of Life Dasmarinas Campus
Last Monday, my friend and I visited the Cavite School of Life Dasma Campus at Salawag Crossing Dasmariñas City, Cavite. It was just a few blocks away from The District Dasma mall along Molino Road.
We went here to inquire about their mainstreaming/special education program. We met the Principal and he explained to us how the kids in the mainstreaming program were being handled. The ratio for typical kids plus mainstream kids were usually 25:2 (which means 2 mainstream kids out of 25 students).
He said that after the initial evaluation, the kid will be given an Individualized Education Program (IEP). This is an advantage for us parents with special kids because IEP will spell out our child’s learning needs, the services the school will provide and how progress will be measured.
Compared with my son’s current school, we don’t have an IEP so we just need to follow, adjust and do whatever the school wants us to do.
I asked how the typical kids adjust to the needs of the kids under the mainstream program. He said that at the start of the school year, the special kids are introduced to the class. Everyone are expected then to understand and treat each other with high respect. They were doing this for many years and he said that they did not get any issues about it. They also talk to parents about the school rules with regards to this kind of program.
FACILITIES:
the hall. It’s so clean right?
they have a automated ID system that will inform or txt the parents when their kid/s arrive and leave the school premises.
this elevator is open when needed. It’s a one way transport from the 5th floor (where the gym is located) to the ground or main area.
this is the huge gym and recreation area. It’s windy here.
the stage at the gym where they usually use for graduation purposes.
the stairs to the 2nd floor. Glad that it doesn’t look slippery.
UNIFORM
TUITION FEE
Pre-School : Regular (P43K for Nursery/Junior Kinder) (P46K Senior Kinder) (P68K SPED)

I hope to receive some feedback from parents who have their kids here so that we will have an idea on the school’s curriculum.

Hello po. I learned more about CSOL and enrolled my son in their Bacoor Campus because of this post. Unfortunately, they will no longer offer SPED Program. Sayang at 1 year nalang ay graduate na siya ng Junior High School.
Do you recommend any Schools in Cavite (or near Cavite) that offers SPED for High School students? I will also check Casa Del Libro.
Thank you.
Mommy Levy says
I think GCF South here in daang hari offers SPED. Kindly check with them po.

Hi Mommy Levy, saan ang location ng school ninyo? nasa dasma kami nakatira sa may paliparan 1. How far are we from your school? ang anak ko nag K1,2,3, grade 1 now he is going to next level or grade 2. I just found out that my son he needs to be in SPED area. I am really disappointed sa school na pinanggalingan niya. I wanna transfer my son in your school. It sounds like promising to me your school. What do I need so he can transfer to your school? Please email me Asap para maayos ko mga kailangan niya at makapag enroll siya agad. Thanks and have a blessed day

Hi, Mommy Levy! This post is almost a year old. I’d like to know if you did enroll your kid in this school? If yes, is it worth it? I have an 8 yr old special needs son, too and I’m currently searching for a school for him. Would you know if the school accepts PWD cards so we can get discounts?
Thanks much for your immediate feedback.
Tin
Mommy Levy says

Thank u for this post, my son is 15 y.o with mild autism and grew up in saudi arabia. Now we are moving for good and looking for a school that can help his case. His developmental doctor suggested this CSOL, so based on d feedbacks posted in here… i am now convinced to place my son’s education to this school. Still waiting for an appt with d sch admin to discuss any specific program for my son. God bless everyone😀

Bianca says
is this also a school for kids w/ autism?
Mommy Levy says
they have a SPED area and area for typical kids. If the special kid can handle the regular program they will include him/her to the regular sched and it’s called mainstreaming.
MilesMattewGuevarra@yahoo.com says
Sure i want to go there at csol
My Info says
Good day!
Did anyone knows what requirements they need if I transfer my daughter. She is in grade4 at RABBI CHRISTIAN INSTITUTE.
Pache says
Good day!
what about laboratories?
Jen says
My son studies here, he’s currently Senior Kinder…we just transfered. Traditional teaching na sila agad, hindi na binebaby ang mga bata kaya mas maagang nagmamature at nagiging independent. Advance ang turo nila, well compared sa pinanggalingang school ng son ko. Also, 15 students per class lang sa K2 kaya natututukan, unlike sa ibang private schools na over-crowded na. Strict sila when it comes to school rules and regulations which is a good thing, to discipline both the parents and students.
I was impressed by how organized they are as well as sa programs na meron sila para sa mga bata, to be able to develop them in all other aspects. So far, yung mga mommies na nakausap ko from iba-ibang levels (may anak na high school, elementary, and preschool), puro positive feedback ang naririnig ko.
I was so happy na nilipat ko rito anak ko, sana noon ko pa nadiscover tong CSOL.
Jen says
I’m planning to transfer my kids this school year in this school.any feedback po
Mommy Levy says
the school looks fine naman. Wala pa lang ako kilalang naka enroll dito kaya I can’t give feedback sa turo nila.
anne says
Tuition fee includes fieldtrip,t-shirt for every activity,adaptation program and recognition fee is included na din… ilike also the free monthly parenting seminar w/refreshment.

Thanks for sharing Mommy Levy. Nice post. 🙂

Hi Mommy Levy. I’ve been school hunting for my incoming Grade 1 child and Cavite School of Life is among a few I visited recently. My child has taken the assessment and the personnel (Grade School Coordinator and Guidance Counselor, among other staff) I spoke to have so far been kind and accommodating but straightforward about their teaching/education standards. I felt good when my child expressed eagerness to transfer and study in this school as we were walking in the hall on our way out.
I’ve also read comments to your other post (http://mommylevy.com/2013/04/list-of-preschools-at-molino-cavite.html) from other moms/parents whose kids study in Cavite School of Life and their feedback are generally positive.
So right now, it’s my top choice for several reasons. But my family still has some time to decide which school my child will enroll this school year, so I hope to hear more about this school from you as well as other parents (readers of your blog).
I wanted to share with you (and my fellow readers) my impression of the school, hoping it’ll help 🙂
And, because I just have to say – Mommy Levy, your blog has been so helpful in many ways 🙂
Mommy Levy says
thank you for commenting. I like Cavite School of Life, it’s my second choice for my son as of now.
Amie says
Hi mommylevy, can you share what’s your first choice?
Mommy Levy says
first choice of school?
JenD says
Hi mommylevy! How old is your son now and is he currently enrolled on mainstream?
Mommy Levy says
Hi Jen, my son is now 11 years old and we are homeschooling him.
