MANILA, Philippines — Makati-based school iAcademy recently won an international award from UK-based publications company Global Brands along with other top-tier schools including Harvard, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Nanyang Technological University.
Recognized as the Most Innovative Education Provider, iAcademy bagged the award against other international schools across the world and becomes the only Philippine school to get a distinction from the international award-giving body.
For seven years, the Global Brands, a leading brand publications company, has been conducting the prestigious Global Brand Awards which is being participated by international brands across the world.
Vanessa Tanco, iAcademy’s president and CEO, said this recent recognition for the school is a testament to the dedication, hard work and commitment of the whole iAcademy community.
“This award is a concerted effort of everyone who have been part of our efforts and initiatives that make our school truly game-changing. We thank each and every one who have pushed us to work harder and better to provide only the quality education for our students through the use of modern technology and innovation,” Tanco said.
Founded in 2002, iAcademy has pioneered specialized programs that are technology-focused, innovative, and industry-relevant. Its programs in computing, business and design were developed to address the mismatch between graduates of academic institutions and the actual needs of the industry.
At the onset of the pandemic, the school has strived to prepare and adapt to the challenges of flexible remote learning, and immediately implemented its Guided Online Autonomous Learning (GOAL).
Along with the implementation of its online classes, the school also executed out-of-the box teaching strategies and innovative learning materials to make learning more interactive for its students. These include the Green Screen Technology that simulates onsite learning and allows professors to be creative in delivering their classes via online platforms.
