Introduction

Jubilee Christian Academy (JCA) is a Chinese-Filipino, co-educational school offering Preschool through Senior High School at three Quezon City campuses: Dona Hemady (New Manila), E. Rodriguez (Cubao), and Jubilee Center (New Manila). The school follows a blended program that combines Department of Education and Chinese curricula and supports a Singapore iPSLE benchmark for Elementary and Advanced Placement (AP) courses for Senior High School. English is the primary language of instruction, with Filipino and Chinese taught as subjects. Since its founding in 1967, JCA has expanded its facilities, including the Jubilee Center Building completed in 2022, and emphasizes Christian formation, intellectual development, student activities, and service orientation as core objectives. The school works in partnership with Jubilee Evangelical Church for chapel time and student activities like JEC clubs and Psalteries, and maintains active sports programs such as basketball. This structure supports a K-12 education with distinct Elementary, Junior High, and Senior High departments and campus-based administration.

Tuition fees by year group and per term
- The school does not publish a public, itemized tuition schedule by year group or per term on its publicly available parent/finance pages. Instead, the school issues an individualized Statement of Account for each student that details tuition, book charges, certification fees and other applicable charges. Tuition assessment therefore varies by department and grade level and is shown on the student's Statement of Account.

- Billing is managed by the Treasury, Accounting and Finance (TAF) office through formal Statements of Account. Payment instructions and deadlines are provided on those statements and in admissions/payment circulars; required deposits (for example, specialization enlistment deposits for Senior High) are handled via the school's bank payment procedures. The application and testing fee is due at the admissions stage and is non-refundable.

Uniforms, supply lists and other one‑time or annual items are additional costs but specific prices for uniforms and supplies are not published in a public fee table.

Refund information
- The Treasury, Accounting and Finance office processes refunds for overpayments. Separately, the application and testing fee is explicitly stated as non-refundable and non-transferable. Other refund rules for deposits or term fees are reflected in the student's billing documents and handled by TAF.

Curriculum
The Jubilee Christian Academy curriculum runs from Preschool through Senior High, anchored in Christian formation and integrated faith with learning. The program uses English, Filipino, and Chinese for written and oral communication, with a strong emphasis on multilingual proficiency across grade levels. Preschool focuses on developmentally appropriate activities that foster holistic growth—cognitive, spiritual, moral, emotional, social, and physical development within a Christian environment. In Elementary and Junior High, the curriculum combines core academic subjects with a Chinese Area, Bible/Christian Formation, and a structured Guidance and Character Development program, while promoting leadership and service through student activities. Senior High School is part of the program, but public pages do not disclose specific strands or course maps; current offerings can be confirmed by contacting admissions.
Wellbeing

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)
SEL is addressed through the Guidance Area within the Christian Formation Department. The Guidance Area aims to lead students to process personal attributes and to help them lead enjoyable, balanced lives while dealing competently with varied life situations. The Junior High School department explicitly lists Guidance Area objectives focused on personal development and coping with life challenges. Family resilience and Guidance Specials involve parents and guardians in wellbeing initiatives, including talks on family resilience. The Educational Objectives emphasize physical and psychological well-being as part of a holistic education, supporting a school-wide approach to SEL.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)
Detailed information about a dedicated SEN program or services is not publicly disclosed on the site. The Educational Resource Center (ERC) exists as the school's learning-resource hub to support students, including library resources for learning. Admissions criteria include aptitude, psychological, and health assessment, indicating consideration of student needs at intake. The Guidance Area focuses on personal development and coping with life situations rather than describing a formal SEN pathway. Consequently, explicit SEN staff, facilities, or special needs provisions are not described in publicly available material.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)
The Educational Objectives specify use of English, Filipino, and Chinese in communication, indicating a tri-lingual framework in the curriculum. English is explicitly included alongside Filipino and Chinese as part of student development. The Admissions page notes aptitude, psychological, and health assessments as part of the process, but does not describe a separate EAL program or language-support pathway. Public content does not outline a dedicated EAL service; the school emphasizes multilingual competencies within its objectives.

Mental Wellbeing
Mental wellbeing is embedded in the school's objectives through Physical and Psychological Well-being, aiming to develop attitudes, self-emotional development, and the ability to deal with varied life situations. The Guidance Area in the Junior High School outlines targets for personal growth, positive thinking, and leading a balanced life. The Elementary-level Family Resilience pages document guidance-focused events and discussions aimed at wellbeing and resilience. The Jubilee Evangelical Church partnership provides Spiritual Counseling for students and personnel, extending wellbeing support beyond academics.

Safeguarding
Safeguarding-related measures include Spiritual Counseling for students and personnel through a Jubilee Evangelical Church partnership. The Admissions process requires a Medical Information Form and a Medical/Mental Health Form, reflecting attention to student health and safety in eligibility assessments. These publicly described measures indicate health- and wellbeing-focused safeguards within the school's broader framework. No dedicated safeguarding policy page is shown in the publicly available main-site sections; the cited materials describe health-related intake and spiritual-counseling supports instead.

Admissions

Admissions
Admissions Process (new and returning students):

Jubilee Christian Academy presents a structured admissions flow designed to assess fit with the school's philosophy and expectations. The process begins with an online application that must be completed using the provided link and browser guidance; applicants receive an ID and password to access the next steps, including document submission. After uploading all required documents, the admissions team reviews the files and sends instructions for payment and the assessment schedule; a non-refundable Php 1,700 application/testing fee applies and must be paid via the bank details provided, with the proof of payment emailed to the admissions and cashier emails. The assessment itself is conducted onsite, and the school communicates the schedule and procedures by email. If a candidate cannot attend or complete the assessment, a reassessment can be requested for another schedule. The assessment results are published to parents within seven working days after the assessment date via the Applicant Access Module.

ADMISSIONS FOR RETURNING STUDENTS (Transferred and on LOA):

Returning students follow a separate set of steps. First, the School requires completing a Re-admission Application Form within the window stated (January 5 to July 3, 2026). If the child studied elsewhere in SY 2025-2026, the family must submit an official report card signed by a school official, ensure no subject has a failing grade with a general average of 83 and deportment at B- or above, and, if possible, attend DepEd-accredited summer classes and submit the grades by end of enrollment in July 2026. Tthere are specific conditions related to subjects and language study (e.g., absence of Chinese or Filipino study for Grade 1 and upper levels may require discussion of other arrangements). If the child did not study in SY 2025-2026, readmission is aligned with the grade level succeeding their last completed grade.
