Other costs and recurring / miscellaneous fees

- The published fee tables and external summaries separate miscellaneous items from Basic Tuition and Capital Development. External fee summaries and the school's admissions materials list additional usual items that can appear on a family's assessment, such as: miscellaneous/other fees (examples used in external summaries include amounts for items such as learning resources, assessment/exam charges, and student services), exam/entrance charges, and any grade-specific miscellaneous charges.

Specific amounts for uniforms, books, activity fees and optional services are included in the detailed fee schedule and in each student's assessment.

Academics

Everest Academy Manila teaches Catholic Curriculum, Advanced Placement (AP) for students aged 5 to 17.

Curriculum

Everest Academy Manila uses the Integral Formation® model (a Catholic, Regnum Christi framework) that integrates intellectual formation with spiritual and human formation as the core of its curriculum. In Primary School, Lower Primary (K–2) teaches English Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, Science, Catholic Formation, Fine Arts, Music, and Physical Education; Upper Primary (Grades 3–5) adds Filipino, ICT, and begins a second language in Grade 3 (Mandarin or Spanish). Middle School (Grades 6–8) covers English Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, Science, Catholic Formation, Filipino, and adds a Foreign Language (Mandarin or Spanish), Fine Arts, Music, ICT, and Physical Education. High School (Grades 9–12) offers Career Tracks with Set A and Set B options and an Advanced Placement program, with AP courses including AP Language and Composition, AP World History Modern, AP Biology, AP Chemistry, AP Literature and Composition, AP Calculus AB, and AP Statistics. The curriculum blends RC Education's Integral Formation with the Philippines' DepEd K-12 standards and is supported by language partnerships with Instituto Cervantes (Spanish) and the Confucius Institute (Mandarin), along with a Mentoring Program from Grade 4 through Grade 12.

Wellbeing

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

Everest Academy Manila provides dedicated guidance services to support students' social and emotional development. The Guidance Office offers comprehensive and responsive services to support academic, personal, social, and emotional growth for all students from Kindergarten through Grade 12. The program is rooted in ethical standards from the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) and the Philippine Guidance and Counseling Act of 2004 (RA 9258). School counselors collaborate with teachers, parents, and administrators to promote student well-being and academic success. Core services include Counseling, Information Service, Preventive and Developmental Programs, and Career Counseling and College Preparation Services. A Mentoring Program is listed under Student Services as part of the school's SEL-oriented support structures.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)

Everest Manila operates as a mainstream school and does not present itself as a dedicated SEN specialist institution. The admissions FAQs state that while Everest believes every child has a right to learning, the school does not have resources to provide for children with special needs beyond a certain level. Prospective students are assessed to determine whether the school can support them to fulfill their potential. The school does not publicly describe a dedicated SEN department or specialized facilities. Based on these statements, Everest Manila is not a specialist SEN institution and its SEN support is not publicly advertised as a formal program.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

English is the medium of instruction at Everest Academy Manila. All applicants must take the entrance test administered in English to assess their level of English proficiency. The site does not describe a dedicated EAL program or EAL-specific support beyond the standard curriculum. The curriculum includes English Language Arts as a subject in lower primary, indicating English instruction is integrated into the core program. EAL-specific services are not publicly disclosed on the site.

Mental Wellbeing

Mental wellbeing is supported through the Guidance Office's work, which focuses on promoting well-being and resilience alongside academic progress. Counseling services address emotional, social, and behavioral concerns through individualized and group sessions. Information services include talks on educational and personal-social issues through orientation and information sessions. Preventive and Developmental Programs feature classroom guidance modules on virtues, life skills, and socio-emotional learning and wellness initiatives offered at all levels. Career Counseling and College Preparation also support students' confidence and future planning, contributing to overall wellbeing.

Safeguarding

Safeguarding is framed through the Guidance Office, which is rooted in ASCA ethical standards and the Philippine Guidance and Counseling Act (RA 9258). This framework underpins the school's approach to student welfare and ethical formation, with counselors collaborating with teachers, parents, and administrators to promote well-being and safety. The Center's Core Services—Counseling, Information Service, and Preventive/Developmental Programs—are designed to support students' safety, well-being, and positive development. The guidance offerings are further contextualized by Regnum Christi principles in career counseling, emphasizing values-driven decision making. Overall, Everest Manila frames safeguarding within its guidance and formation philosophy rather than as a standalone policy document.

5. Second and Third rounds and deadlines. The Second Round (Kinder to Grade 11) includes an Open House around January 15–16, 2026, with deadlines for various levels (e.g., January 16 for Primary School, January 23 for Round 2 application, January 26–27 testing, January 30 for Middle School/High School, February 3–4 for Primary School testing, and February 6 for release of Round 2 decisions).

Scholarships

Scholarships: Everest Academy Manila offers scholarships and grants as part of its program; the Welcome to Everest International Academy page states a 2.4 million average annual scholarship and grants since 2018. The site does not publish explicit eligibility criteria, application steps, or a public scholarship policy for Everest Manila; for detailed information, the Admissions Office should be contacted. The Tuition and Fees section also directs inquiry to the Admissions Office for further information.

Waitlist

Waitlist/Pool: There is no published, formal waitlist or pooling system described for Everest Academy Manila. Admissions operate in round-based cycles with explicit “reservation of slots” deadlines to secure a place, and admissions decisions are released at set dates. Slots are then reserved to confirm enrollment, rather than a separate waitlist process. The schedule explicitly includes “Reservation of slots” dates (e.g., December 5, 2025 for Round 1) and subsequent reservation windows for later rounds, which indicates seat allocation is handled through these reservations rather than a traditional waitlist.
