"Builders' isn't just a school, it's a family. I've had so many memories with this family, ones I will never forget. There are people I have met there that I will never lose touch with. Not only does Builders' teach math and science and all that, but they teach you to be a person! To love the environment, to always keep on finishing your food, to staying healthy and happy! That's something other schools will never fully engage in! Builders' has taught me that curiosity is important! You can tell by the fact that we'd go on several field trips a year, to so many different places. From museums to rice fields, you name it! Countless activities, projects, presentations, and guest speakers, there's no day without smiles and laughs at Builders'. This school has really shaped me as a person, educationally and mentally, in the best way possible. I hope future Builders' school students enjoy this school as much as I did :)"

To the Builders' School
I’ve been at the Builders’ School for over half my life. Learned many things, laughed many laughs, shed many tears, made many memories, met the best of friends. It really is the most memorable school ever. What I like best about this school is that it’s so different from other schools in the best way.
The school holds events like Imagination Day and play crazy games and do fun, amazing things you can’t do in other schools. Another thing about Builders’ that is unique and that I love is that it’s a very small and humble community, everyone knows everyone, and everyone can easily reach out to anyone.
A great memory in Builder’s I can remember from the top of my head is the prey, the whole school got together outside, held booths, bought good snacks, learned a few scientific things and played fun games, it was also my first day with straight hair.
My wish for the school is for it to live on as long as possible. Make generations of children happy, give them their basic right to education, and most of all to forever be the same.

Hello and welcome everyone!
Whether you are a Builders’ Alumni or current Builders’ Student, if you’re a parent or friend or family member, welcome and thank you for attending Builders’ School’s first ever Foundation Day: a celebration of the school’s tenth anniversary.
A decade, no matter how you measure it in terms of years, months, weeks, or days, is a very long time. But time, like always, makes you believe that all those years, months, weeks, and days seem like they’ve passed by in the blink of an eye. Ten years ago, the Builders’ School was merely a concept in Teacher Vic, Teacher Aleta, and Teacher Hysper’s heads. And now, there is an actual school standing on JP Rizal Street with actual teachers and actual students.
To me, the Builders’ School has grown to be more than just a school. It’s a community where lasting relationships are formed and lessons outside the classroom and curriculum are learned. This is what I’ve realized after I left and I hope all the other alumni realize this too. Spending three years in another school has made me realize more than ever that Builders’ School is a part of me. And it’s not just because my parents taught there. It’s because it helped me grow as a person and get to where I am now. And I hope it still continues to do so with its future students.
Here’s to those seven years of grade school that helped me push through with almost three years of high school.
Here’s to the friends we’ve all made during our time in Builders’.
Here’s to the past, present, and future students of the school.
Here’s to the teachers who’ve dedicated their time to help us learn more than what’s in the prescribed curriculum. And lastly, here’s to ten more years of Builders’ School.

Dear Builders’ Family,
Before anything else, I would like to say thank you for this amazing adventure. The journey I had here was a ride like no other. It wasn’t perfect, but no matter what happened the good always ended up outweighing the bad.
I’ve been here for about half of my life. And I know that I wouldn’t be the person I am today without the help and guidance of my Builders’ Family. Being at Builders’ has helped me gain the confidence and courage to face challenges that may come my way. You taught me that it’s okay, good even, to be proud of what I’ve accomplished. When I first arrived at Builders’ I was really shy. You really helped me to break out of my shell. You taught me that it’s okay to laugh, to have fun, and to be silly from time to time. More importantly, you taught me that it’s ok to be myself and to be proud of who I am.
Being at Builders’ has taught me that curiosity is good. You encouraged me to ask questions. You told me that it’s okay to make mistakes and to not be discouraged by them. You showed me that it’s okay not to know everything. Because of you, I learned to look at things from different angles. You encouraged me to explore and to think out of the box.
The different classes and activities have taught me a lot of things in the academic department. True to your name, you helped build up my knowledge. What makes Builders’ different from other schools is that here, I was taught the importance of what I was learning and to appreciate the process of learning. We were taught in such a way that made lessons fun for me. When I was younger, class was so fun that only now do I realize that those classes were actually educational. For this, I would like to thank the teachers. Thank you for teaching me the value and joy of learning.
Strangely here at Builders’, my worst fear was disappointing the Teachers. Not because I was scared of getting scolded, but because I love the teachers and want to make them proud. This is something I don’t think I would feel in other schools. This kind of bond the teachers have with their students and vice versa is uniquely Builders’.
With each passing year, I realized that Builders’ has been building me up and preparing me for the future. Now that my last year at Builders’ has come to an end, I realize that it is not possible for me to truly move on from Builders’. It is already too big of a part of who I am and who I am becoming. The Builders’ family has been such a huge part of my life. This place is where I met some of my closest friends. Here, I built friendships that will hopefully stand the test of time.
The Builders’ community is my second family. The students are happy, friendly, and curious children. The teachers and staff are some of the most caring, fun, cool, and kind mentors I could ever have. Years ago, you accepted me into your loving, tight-knit, little but diverse family. Even with all my shortcomings, you never judged me. In turn, this has taught me to accept other people as well. You helped me to build my courage, my confidence, my spirit, and the core of who I am. You taught me to be aware of and to take care of my community and my surroundings. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this Family. I am honored and proud to be able to call myself a Builder.
For all this and much more, I will forever be grateful.
Love from Ia Aleta
