TL;DR: Montessori Integrated School in Antipolo runs everything through its MIS parent portal. You create one family account, submit the application, pay a published PHP 400 application fee, wait for an interview and assessment, then upload proof of tuition payment. The requirements differ by level: preschool needs three documents, Grade 4 and up needs five. Tuition is not published anywhere on the school's website — the school directs families to email [email protected] for rates.
Antipolo has plenty of private schools, but not many that describe themselves as a true Montessori school running from preschool all the way to Grade 12. Montessori Integrated School sits on Sen. L. Sumulong Memorial Circle and does exactly that, with a Special Education programme and a home-based remote option layered on top.
This guide covers the part the directory listing cannot: what the application actually asks for at each level, the order the steps happen in, and where the school leaves gaps you need to fill by phone or email.
The one fee the school actually publishes
Most private schools in Rizal keep tuition off their websites. MIS is no different, but it does publish one number, and it publishes it clearly.
| Item | Amount | Where it appears |
|---|---|---|
| Application fee | PHP 400 per applicant | Application Requirements and Online Enrollment pages |
| Tuition (any level) | Not published | Enrollment page says "Inquire about rates at [email protected]" |
| Miscellaneous / matriculation | Not published | Payments page directs queries to the same email |
That is the whole picture. Do not go in with a budget assumption — ask the school for a written schedule per level, and ask specifically whether the quoted figure is annual, per term, or a monthly plan. The payments page lists deposit accounts at BPI, Metrobank, UnionBank and Chinabank, plus a card payment link, so the school clearly supports staggered payment, but the terms themselves are not spelled out online.
Requirements, by level
The school splits its Application Requirements page by level. The differences matter, because parents applying for a Grade 7 transferee often arrive with only the preschool list.
Preschool (The Children's House) and Kinder
- Completed application form, filled in through the MIS parent portal
- One 2x2 ID photo
- Original PSA birth certificate
Kinder adds one condition: if the child attended another school, a copy of the DepEd Form 137 report card is submitted on enrollment.
Elementary, Junior High and Senior High
- Completed application form through the portal
- One 2x2 ID photo
- Original PSA birth certificate
- Certificate of Enrollment and Good Moral Character
- Original copy of the report card (DepEd Form 137)
The online enrollment page phrases the Good Moral Character requirement as applying from Grade 4 upward, so a Grade 2 or Grade 3 transferee should confirm which version applies.
Special Education applicants
The same three core documents, plus a diagnostic report. If the child had previous schooling, add the latest report card, a narrative report and a certificate of enrollment. The original DepEd Form 137 follows on enrollment.
Remote learners and foreign students
Home-based online learning has its own document: a medical certificate for health reasons, a residence certificate or proof of residence for distance, or proof of athletic training or a parent letter for mobility issues. Foreign applicants at any level submit an Alien Certificate of Registration and a photocopy of the passport.
The actual sequence
The school's enrollment page reads as a checklist, but the order is worth understanding before you start, because two of the steps involve waiting on the school rather than on you.
- Create one parent portal account per family. Not per child. The same login tracks every sibling's application status, carries the credential uploads, and later shows billing statements for the school year.
- Submit the application. After account creation you land on the Submit Application page. Fill in the fields, submit, then upload requirements and proof of the PHP 400 payment on the same page.
- Wait for the acknowledgement email. The school emails to confirm receipt and to say the assessment process has started.
- Interview and assessment. Then a second official email with the result. The portal also shows the status, so you are not dependent on email alone.
- Pay and upload proof. Log back in to upload proof of tuition payment, and submit the enrollment credentials to the Registrar's Office.
- Digital classroom registration. The digital classroom manager emails about registration, then login details follow.
- Parent orientation. A final email and a portal announcement invite you before classes open.
Returning families skip the account creation and go to the Student Enrollment page, pick the child from a dropdown and click Enroll Now.
What each level actually looks like
The school's own programme pages are unusually specific about hours, which is the detail parents of young children care about most.
- Preschool, ages 2.5 to 4.5, mixed-age Montessori Children's House. Classes run three hours a day, four days a week. The focus is socialisation, sensorial work, practical life skills, letter sounds, blending and early maths.
- Kinder, age 5. Whole day three times a week and three hours twice a week, with formal group tests introduced to prepare for Grade 1.
- Elementary and Junior High continue the Montessori approach through the DepEd curriculum.
- Senior High offers the Academic Track — HUMSS, ABM, STEM and General Academics — with an academic mentor assigned to guide each student toward a specialisation. The Technical-Vocational side runs through the Professional Academy for Culinary Education, ending in a senior high certification in Culinary Arts.
Note the mismatch worth raising with admissions: our directory record lists STEM, HUMSS, ABM and a TVL home-economics strand, while the school's own senior high page also describes General Academics. Confirm which strands are actually opening for the year you are applying, since small schools do not always run every listed strand every year.
MIS does not have a college division, so Grade 12 graduates transfer elsewhere. If you are weighing that against a school with its own college, our private versus public school comparison covers the trade-off, and Montessori school tuition in the Philippines gives a sense of where Montessori pricing generally sits.
The SPED programme is the differentiator
Plenty of Antipolo schools accept children with special educational needs. Few publish a tiered structure. MIS names six:
- MCH Special Class — a special class for diagnosed learners aged roughly 4 to 8, intended to prepare them for mainstreaming later
- MCH Mainstreaming and Full Mainstreaming — progressively longer periods in a regular preschool or kinder classroom
- LEAP (Learning Enhancement and Assistance Program) — a pull-out teacher assists with the regular academic curriculum, with modified requirements, longer deadlines and adjusted tests; LEAP students who qualify for honours receive special citations
- PALS (Positive Alternative Learning Strategies) — for learners who cannot cope with the regular academic curriculum, focused on functional skills like handling money and transacting, monitored on a PALS Progress Assessment Chart
- Staggered Integration and Inclusion — full mainstreaming with minor differences in deadlines and teacher support
If this is why you are looking at MIS, ask which tier your child would be placed in and what the review process is for moving between tiers. That decision drives the cost and the day-to-day experience far more than the strand choice does.
What to ask before you pay anything
- The full fee schedule for your child's level, in writing, with the payment plan options and any early-payment discount
- Whether the strand or programme you want is actually opening this school year, and the minimum class size the school needs to run it
- For SPED applicants: which tier, who the pull-out teacher is, and how often placement is reviewed
- For remote learners: how many hours are live versus asynchronous, and whether remote students can switch back to on-campus mid-year
- Current DepEd permit or recognition status per level, since the school does not publish this
- Whether the school participates in the ESC and senior high voucher programmes, which would materially change what you pay
Practical details
The campus is at 1 Sen. L. Sumulong Memorial Circle, Antipolo City, 1870 Rizal. The school lists landlines 02 8697-0688, 02 8697-5761 and 02 8697-4644, a mobile number 0917-133-8619, and [email protected] for enquiries. Application windows shift year to year — its site was advertising that K-12 applications would open in early 2026 — so check the current window rather than assuming, and cross-check against the DepEd school calendar.
If you are comparing Montessori options in Metro Manila as well as Rizal, The Seed Montessori School in Quezon City publishes its testing fee outright, which makes for a useful contrast. And other schools in Antipolo are worth putting on the same shortlist before you pay any application fee.
