About the School
These days, a growing number of young people are heading out into the world to take on new possibilities, rather than staying in an increasingly competitive domestic market. For young people who take on new challenges under the slogan "To the world, to the world," there are two more essentials besides a spirit of challenge. The first is language, represented by English, for communicating with people around the world; the second is an international outlook that goes beyond a narrow perspective. Cebu Blue Ocean Academy was established to provide a place of learning where all its members, including students, can learn these two elements and achieve their dreams. First, with the proven education system and excellent teachers supported by PINES International Academy, a leading Philippine language school with a history of more than 10 years, we upgrade them to suit the beautiful Cebu environment and aim to provide a differentiated learning environment that meets each student's individual needs. Through resort life along a wonderful beach, with the dazzling Cebu sea stretching out beyond the dormitory windows, students will enjoy comfortable rest and build many memories day by day. In addition, by studying and living together with students of many nationalities, including Korea, Japan, China, Taiwan and Vietnam, you will naturally experience new cultures and values you have never encountered before. Living together 24 hours a day with foreigners who have different environments, ways of thinking and histories may at first be uncomfortable and even lead to hurt feelings. However, if you resolve each other's worries through conversation and come to understand one another by putting others first, you will discover a more mature version of yourself and gain great confidence. It will be a great reward and joy for everyone if each student can create their own blue ocean through Cebu Blue Ocean Academy.
