 I. BRIEF HISTORY OF HOLY
CHILD JESUS MONTESSORI
What started out as an innocent joke turns out to be the formidable educational
institution of Holy Child Jesus Montessori School of Dasmariñas, Incorporated. The
idea of putting up a school is the least priorities of Mrs. Adoracion Samson-Ulan,
then a simple housewife who was busy tending to the needs of her children.
Together with some common friends and parents from the school of her child, they
joked on how it is going to be like herself puts up a school.

It was July of 1998. Incidentally, Mrs. Ulan's brother-in-law offered her an

opportunity to put up a restaurant with help on the capital. However, saying that she
has no background in cooking, she declined and offered the idea of why not a
school instead. Thus, the initial stages of planning for this school began. After a few
months of looking for a suitable location to put up the school, it was decided to be
in a lot owned by Mrs. Teresita Camaganacan located in Brgy. San Agustin III.

Construction began in October of 1998 and the school's operation started in June
of 1999, The people whom she planned the school with, one of which is Ms.
Teodencia "Daisy" Dejelo, were all supportive of her to the extent that they
volunteered to take charge of marketing campaign for the starting year June of 1999
saw the start of Holy Child Jesus Montessori.

It opened with 157 students varying from kinder to grade six levels. They were
guided by 10 school personnel who already included Mrs. Ulan as the school
administrator. After only three years, HCJM opened its doors for secondary
education.

School Year 2002-2003 marked the beginning of HCJM's year that the
construction of the Annex building started. With the welfare of students in mind
and in heart, Mrs. Ulan solicited the help of highly experienced educators to help in
molding the principles and guiding philosophies of the school. Mrs. Josephine
Santander joined the school as academic coordinator when the High School
Department opened in 2002. Dr. Fernanded Elesterio much innovation in Student
Affairs as the school principal. Mrs. Rowena R. Palay further strengthened the
academics and extracurricular facets of the school as its vice principal. HCJM is
now home for the enrichment of knowledge, skill, and talent. From its humble
beginnings, HCJM has indeed come a long way as still looking ahead for the years
to come.

4.1. Academic Intervention Program

Academic Intervention Program(AIP) is a student academic support

service, which supplements instruction provided in the general education
setting, and is designed to assist the student in meeting proficiency with the
established learning standards. AIP is intended to help a student who has not
met or who is at risk of not meeting the designated performance levels in
Reading /English and Mathematics .

There are two components of AIP:

4.1.1. Additional instruction that supplements the general curriculum (regular
classroom instruction) and/or
4.1.2. Student support services needed to address barriers to improve
academic performance.

The school defines additional instruction as the provision of extra time for
focused instruction and/or increased student-teacher instructional contact
time. The regulations also indicate that this program may vary depending on the
student’s academic level of performance but must be designed to respond to
his/her academic needs.

4.2. Tutorial Programs

It is an instructional intervention program that serves as an additional
academic support in Reading/English-, Math, including, subject-specific
tutoring, or general study. This is highly recommended for a student who falls
further behind academically, tutoring offers a promising solution to help them
catch up in class. It is also suggested as an enrichment tutorial for a learner
who needs to learn at a higher level than in a typical class. It allows a learner
who needs an extra challenge in the class to remain engaged and interested in
learning. The student is matched with a teacher who can support the child
based on their subject area(s), grade level(s).
