Peniel Integrated Christian Academy of Rizal: a Homeschool Provider Review

on
Peniel homeschool

Hello, homeschoolers! After 8 years with Peniel Integrated Christian Academy of Rizal as our homeschool provider, we are moving to another chapter of our homeschool journey as independent homeschoolers. I have an old review of our provider when we just finished our first year with them. You can read it here. Also, I have an article on our child's field trip at Peniel grounds here.

Peniel School Grounds in
Cainta, Rizal


Our Homeschool Provider for More than 8 Years

We have a lot of reasons why we chose Peniel homeschool and stayed with them from our firstborn to our Bunso. We started with Peniel in 2016 when Kuya was in Kinder Homeschool and he remained with them until he left the homeschool world when he graduated in Grade 6.


Ate Z on the other hand was enrolled with Peniel Homeschool from 2020-2024. Our Bunso was enrolled this last school year 2023-2024.


Most of our years with Peniel were under the HEP (Home Education Program), and 1 school year with Kuya V enrolled under the OPTPL (Online Program Teacher-Parent Led). 


Homeschool Programs and Tuition Fees:

  • Home Education Program (HEP)
    •  the parents are the teachers
    • The tuition fee is less than Php20K (preschool-grade school)
    • Includes:
      • Curriculum Guide/Syllabi
      • Suggested Video Links
      • Worksheets and Activities (softcopies)
      • Exams for Minor Subjects
      • PowerPoint Presentations
      • Grading Sheets and Report Card
      • School calendar
      • Homeschool coordinators per grade level

  • Online Program Teacher-Parent Led (OPTPL)
    • the parents are the main teachers and are in charge of the grade
    • students can join online sessions with teachers of Peniel teaching all the subjects; attendance is optional
    • The tuition fee is less than Php30K
    • Includes:
      • Webinar 3 hours a day
      • Weekly schedule
      • consultation with adviser and teachers
      • Curriculum Guide/Syllabi
      • Suggested Video Links
      • Worksheets and Activities (softcopies)
      • Scheduled online exams administered by Peniel teachers
      • PowerPoint Presentations
      • Grading Sheets and Report Card
      • School calendar
    • Books are required to be purchased at the school

Each school year, we took advantage of their Early Bird Registration and sibling discounts. We get to save at least 5,000 pesos per school year because of these.


They also have a Regular Online Program, an online distance learning program administered by their teachers. This is a great program for families who are always traveling or want their children to learn from home but the parents have no bandwidth to be the main teachers.


Reasons for Choosing Peniel as a Homeschool Provider

For a detailed review of the homeschool provider, here are the reasons why we chose and stayed with Peniel from 2016-2024:


We love Peniel, Teacher Au, and all the staff. If we were to go back under the Philippine DepEd system in the future, we would still choose Peniel as our homeschool provider. 



Happy homeschooling!
