Santa Barbara Catholic School started conducting the first Summer Enrichment Program (SEP) entitled DISTRICT 12: Conquering the Summer Heat, Empowering our Mind, Heart, and Spirit last June 4, 2012. It was a 12-in-1 Interactive, Integrated, and Intensive course that focuses on the development and formation of students’ knowledge (Study), abilities (Skill), and faith (Spirituality) through multiple-intelligence approaches and strategies. It aims to provide the young students an enriching, rewarding and meaningful summer learning experience through different formative courses that lead the young students in building and strengthening a community of committed Christians, creative thinkers, effective communicators and responsible members of the society.
This year, we would like to invite you again to join our team to make your child’s summer fun, memorable, and engaging. Last year, we offered 12 courses. This year we are offering a total of 18 courses. Six more additional courses were added to tap more of your child’s skills and intelligences.

“I joined the summer program because I like school. And, because summer school is fun and my classmates are nice to me.” – Adriana, 5 year old girl and incoming grade 1
“I like really to do art work with Miss Roxas and Miss Badong. And I like building crocodile using Legos with Mr. Pangan. I also like practicing dance with Mr. Vargas. And like to cook with Miss Guevara. Sometimes we cook what we like to cook.” – Ara, 6 years old and incoming 2nd grade
“I decided to join the summer program because I thought it was fun. I like especially the iTech, iBuild, and iCount under Mr. Pangan.” – Tim, 9 years, incoming 4th grade
“I came here because I wanted to improve my confidence in dancing and leadership skills.” – Justin, 11 years old and an incoming 7th grade
“I’ve enrolled my son for him to learn how to socialize with other kids. So far, I’ve noticed he is learning how to be patient and be more creative. At home, I’ve seen how Andre’s imagination has been enhanced with the activities done at school. He especially likes playing with his Lego toys building different things.” – Mrs. Mandel
“I enrolled Adriana to enhance how to interact with other kids.She enjoys learning a lot from the summer class. She’s more conscious of what she eats and applies what she learns from her iEat Class. She shares how important it is to check the calorie content from the labels of the food package. From her iMovie class, she learned how to identify the characters and understand the story. I am happy to know that they’re learning and playing games that kids do not play anymore. She enjoys playing with us at home like pick up sticks and some board games like chinese checkers. – Mrs. Sabinay
We are very proud to say that this unique workshop was pioneered by Spartan teachers and the first ever launched on the island. We are looking forward to mentoring your child this summer.
