Marist School (Tagalog: Paaralang Marist) is a Catholic school located in Marikina, Metro Manila, Philippines established by the Marist Brothers in 1964. The school currently holds a level III accreditation from PAASCU and was considered to be the largest educational institution for boys in Marikina until it shifted to be a co-educational school in 2021.[1] This was the second school founded by the Marist Brothers in the Philippines; the first one was the Notre Dame of Dadiangas University in General Santos City.[2]
History[edit]
In 1964, the Marist Brothers of the Schools, or Institutum Fratrum Maristarum a Scholis (FMS), established the Marist School.[3]
The school adopted the Integrated Basic Education (IBED) system in 1998–1999, headed by a school principal and five (5) cluster assistant principals.
Academics[edit]
PAASCU accreditation[edit]
Marist School is accredited by the Federation of Accrediting Association of the Philippines (FAAP) through the Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges and Universities (PAASCU). Currently, Marist School has a level III accreditation from PAASCU. It is the highest possible accreditation for basic education.[4]
Physical education[edit]
Marist School Athletic League[edit]
The Marist School Athletic League has been running from its inception in the early 1990s up to the present. The Marist School Athletic League or MSAL is an annual and year-round sports competition. All classes of the same level compete in events such as volleyball, basketball, ultimate frisbee, water polo, chess, table tennis, and badminton. Classes or sections wear their class-designed uniforms bearing their class name. Awards are given out at the August opening ceremony for different categories such as best uniform, best muse, and best banner for each year level.
