I apologize if you feel inconvenienced by the program schedule.
We always ask the students to come to the venue 1 hour before we open the doors to the viewers. We use that time for blocking and last minute changes. Parents are aware of this, and we advise them to wait in the picnic grounds if we're in Faith Academy. It is such a beautiful place, over-looking the Metro. Lot's of trees and a good wind - it's like you're not even in Manila anymore.
I won't apologize though for our venue because we really strive to look for the best venue available. Faith Academy is an international school with top-notch facilities. Their Cadd theater boast of the best accoustics in Manila - better than Meralco theater. It's a $5 Million theater that not every school can rent out & I feel very lucky that Parkwood Playschool is one of the few that they allow to hold programs there.
A couple of years back, we had all our programs in Shangri-La Mall but the hall we rented out is not available anymore. Before that, we had our programs at the British School at The Fort naman.
My students have worked really hard on their performances & we just want to give them the best venue possible. I'm sorry but we will never consider a clubhouse just because its near, pero super hot (no aircon, terribly uncomfortable) naman.

Another thing great about Faith Academy is that they have picnic/bbq grounds and a world-class pool complex. After our programs, we have BBQ with the families while the kids play in their huge, 2-storey playground.
It's also not in Antipolo, just in Valley Golf Cainta. We usually take 15 minutes going there - max 30mins na. Same amount of time it takes if you go to any mall in Ortigas. There was a big pile-up last December because of an accident, but it was an unfortunate-isolated thing. My son goes to school there so I should know the regular travel time.
It is true that we started late for our Christmas program because a lot of kids got stuck in traffic because of an accident. If it was just a couple, we wouldn't have waited but it was at least 12 kids.
Anyway out of the 200 school days we have, we only spend 3 Saturdays in Faith Academy (Christmas, Family Day & Moving-up).
If any of you parents want to go up and have a bbq lunch with our family, I'll be glad to host. Just let me know when

Daddies can grill, kiddos can play and us moms can just chill and bond. Fun no?
