Siena College Taytay Rizal

We moved to Pasig in 2001 so I also had to transfer to a nearer school. We went to a lot of schools in the vicinity but we were not satisfied and some were very expensive until a friend suggested Siena College in Taytay. Siena has a huge ground and a beautiful environment. Clean, green and peaceful if I am to describe it. It is run by Dominican nuns and it has a good reputation based on what I've heard. The school has amazing facilities: buildings, canteen, library, gymnasium, auditorium, court, canteen, swimming pool, garden, laboratories and many more. Formerly, Siena is an all-girls school but now, they are already accepting boys. Still, the number of girls dominates. With all these information, we decided to enroll.

My years in Siena are fun, exciting and challenging. The level of education is high and it keeps on updating every year. Most of the teachers are good and the administrators are considerate. It also has a good program and curriculum for students developing not just their mental ability but also their creativity and skills. Holistic development is what I achieved in this school. Aside from being competitive in academics I was also able to join different clubs such as Dulaang Siena, Writers Guild, Glee Club, Dance Troupe and Speakers Society. There is also annual group competitions in declamation, speech choir and interpretative dance where I was able to learn the essence of teamwork. I was also able to engage myself in sports like volleyball, swimming, soccer and many more. My leadership skills was honed when I was given a chance to be the CAT Corps Commander in our batch. Good thing about Siena is that they acknowledge even the simplest achievements of students through medals, certificates, at times banners and PA announcements. Siena as stated in its vision and mission, is technology-enabled, service-oriented, research motivated and Marian inspired. As a Dominican school, it also never fails to engage students in prayers, devotions, missions and moral acts. It encourages students to help those who are less fortunate through its missionary activities where we get involved. 

My grade-school and high school and Siena has formed me to be a diligent student, a servant-leader, a faithful Catholic, a good sport and an adventurous person who is not afraid to try new things. In the future, I would surely consider letting my children study in Siena.
