1.  INTRODUCTION                                                                         

The objective of this paper is to give an insight to our proposed school project to be established in a rural setting where there is no private school existing that offers the same program.

The school shall be called Precious Heritage Christian School as already registered with Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under registration number CN2010234 dated September 23, 2010. The registration to the Department of Education (DepEd) will follow as soon as the proposed building has been completed as one of the requirements by the accrediting agency. The proposed school will offer Preparatory, Elementary and Secondary education. The primary clients are those recipients and beneficiaries of Precious Heritage Children's Home, Inc. including children in the community-based programs under our ministry. But since the proposed school is getting towards self-generating and expected to gain some income to support Precious Heritage Children's Home as a whole, the proposed school will also accept paying students around the community. This school project aims to provide free education for the less fortunate children and offer affordable tuition fees to the paying children for the offred quality Christian education programs.

The proposed school will be constructed in a lot owned by Precious Heritage measuring 600 square meters purchased last December 2010 for this specific purpose. 

2.  LOCATION

The school project will be established at Sta. Francisca St, Peñafrancia Subdivision, Purok 2, Mayamot, Antipolo City. This place is just a 100 meters away from Precious Heritage Children's Home, 600 meters away from the Public School and less than 2.5 kilometers away from SM Mall. The area is vacant and no building has been constructed yet. It is surrounded by the residential houses and near the Barangay security outpost. There are fruit trees, gated and covered with old fence. 

3.  PROBLEM STATEMENT

The community has no private school who offers Accelerated Christian Education (ACE) Curriculum. The only available is a public school that offers elementary education. But since the community is very populated and the public school building and teachers are not enough, many parents are complaining because of large students population in a classrooms. The community, therefore, desires a private school that offers quality and affordable education for their children. In such a situation, Precious Heritage acknowledges its calling to reach-out children by establishing a Christian School. 

4. PROJECT OBJECTIVES

a. General objective
The overall objective of this project is to establish a Christian school that offers high standard education and instill Christian morals among the students.

b. Specific objectives
1. To build a school from Preparatory up to Secondary levels for the recipients of Precious Heritage Children's Home and the recipients of its community-based programs in the place.
2. To provide high standard education that offers free education to the children from poorest families and affordable tuition fees to the paying students.
3. To provide employment to the community though manpower of the school.
4. To become a government partner agency in educating the children by inculcating Christian morals and values.

5. SCHOOL BUILDING

The proposed School Project will construct one standard-sized fully furnished school building with two classrooms that can accommodate 40 children each room with morning and afternoon session. lt will be a single storey building with foundation prepared for two storey. The building includes toilets for boys and girls. The construction will be managed by one engineer free of service and the community skilled workers available for the daily wage pay. This building can be finished in 2 months time but it will greatly depend on the fund raised for this purpose.

6. BUILDING CONTRUCTION PLAN

Since Precious Heritage always depends on God's provision for its project, we plan to construct the building in a staggered basis as fund is provided. 

The construction will start from one classroom until its completion. Once it is completed, the construction workers will then proceed to the next room.  While the second classroom is under process, the children can then used the first immediately.

It is hoped that the first classroom will be finished by November 2011 so that the Children at Precious Heritage Children's Home who are undergoing home schooling can be transferred right away.

The school activities and plan for the year 2011 will be determined by the success of the on-going fundraising by the President of Precious Heritage Ministries Foundation.

9.  SOURCING OF FUNDS

The President of Precious Heritage Ministries Foundation will make an appeal to his friends and ministry contact to ask for an individual contribution in any amount they can afford to share in this project. With the initial seed money of $2,000 donated by Hewlett Packard employees, Precious Heritage family is very confident that God will be faithful to complete it in His appointed time (Phil. 1:6). Everything in Precious Heritage project is undergirded by prayer. The wonderful Heavenly Father put this work in their hearts and they are certain that He will be faithful to complete it! 

They believe that even the small contributions from any individual who love to share for the sake of these children, the proposed school project is attainable with the help of God. They are encouraging everyone to join in accomplishing this project. They welcome individuals and group to contribute any amount they can afford to realize this wonderful project for the children.

11. MANAGEMENT

The Trustees of Precious Heritage will ensure the daily, monthly and annual Welfare of the school and its staff and students. It will provide report and and submits recommendations and requests to the Department of Education, the donors and other government and local organizations for the good of the project. They will also maintain close relationship with the local community.

The proposed school has already paid its registration to School of Tomorrow in order to use their curriculum after the initial preparation and has already hired Christian teachers (licensed) who have undergone training from School of Tomorrow already including the staff and administrators. 

The project will start its operation from the children and at the campus of Precious Heritage Children's Home while the building construction is under process. After its completion, the children will immediately transfer to the school site for more privacy and spacious place.

The project will only accept enrollees from the community after the completion of the whole school building for the initial 60-80 students.

Below is the proposed school structure for its initial operation. It will hire more school manpower in the future while the student population is growing:

12. CONCLUSION

This school project will initially start inside Precious Heritage Children's Home with its ward. While it is in operation, the school building will be built gradually phase by phase depending on the regularity of the funds inflow from the fund raising activities. It is expected and estimated that the school building with provision of 2 classrooms will take 6 months up to 2 years to be completed. After the first classroom is completed, the students at Precious Heritage Children's Home will transfer immediately and utilize it while the next classroom is being constructed. The project will only accept students from the community after the completion of the whole building with 2 classrooms to gain additional income for the overall needs of Precious Heritage Children's Home. This school is also expected to offer Vocational Trainings in the future for the skills training needs of the children at Precious Heritage Children's Home. 

The implementation plan may change as deemed necessary and the budget may be revised accordingly.

We thank God for touching everyone to share any amount to realize this project. If you feel moved, we pray that you will consider joining us in our mission.  By becoming our donor, you are with us in bringing love and hope to the children in need.
