Sometime in July 1993, under his able leadership, a group of thirteen (13) dedicated Educators and Merchant Marine Officers activated and forged ahead their commitment in establishing an institute of higher learning, the Asian Institute of Maritime Studies (AIMS) .
Thus, on 16th of August 1993, AIMS was legally registered as a non-stock educational institution, and was issued government accreditation by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) to offer Customs Administration
and Merchant Marine Courses.
AIMS is strategically located on Roxas Boulevard fronting Manila Bay. The campus with its training facilities housed at AIMS Tower was opened with a firm commitment to provide quality education and make a difference in the maritime education sector. In 1999, a new site at A. Arnaiz Ave. corner F. B. Harrison Street was inaugurated to greet the new millennium towards more intensive and comprehensive education and training.
To date, AIMS is one of the leading institute that provides relevant and adequate instruction and training services as manifested by its ISO 9001:2000 Certificate No. 34435, Quality Management System Certification from American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) Quality Evaluations, Inc. conforming to STCW 95 Standards and National Requirements.
Asian Institute of Maritime Studies (AIMS) is one of the few Maritime School authorized / accredited by the Bureau of Immigration and Deportation (BID) to accept foreign students.
Mind Builders Preschool
Are you looking for a preschool for your child? Mindbuilders Preschool is offering big discounts for reservations made before March 14, 2008.
Mindbuilders Preschool practices for its core curriculum Howard Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences (MI), a new educational system that aims to bring out the potentials in each child. Traditionally, education is conducted and measured in terms of linguistic and mathematical intelligences and anyone who scores well in both has been thought to be very smart. In contrary, according to MI, each child is intelligent in eight different ways in varying degrees: Linguistic, Mathematical, Naturalist, Interpersonal, Intra-personal, Musical, Kinesthetic and Visual- Spatial. In this progressive method of teaching, all other intelligences of a child are also recognized.
Children are empowered to take a more active role in their learning through unconventional, artistic, creative, and inventive ways. They are intrinsically motivated and find schoolwork fun because they can follow their interests and express their knowledge in ways that are meaningful for them. The goal is for children to have a deep understanding of the concepts taught, providing a solid foundation and equipping them with a readiness sufficient for formal schooling.
As the children’s “mind- builders,” the teachers are serious life-long learners and keep themselves abreast with the latest trends and studies in the ever-growing field of Early Childhood Education. Mindbuilders also offers Kindermusik programs, daycare, academic tutorials and Chinese tutorials.
