A partnership between PAREF Southcrest School and Rosedale International Education reinforces a commitment to transformative education, diversity and global citizenship, with the Ontario Secondary School Diploma at the core.

Rosedale International Education and PAREF Southcrest School have signed a partnership to offer the Rosedale Global High School Program to PAREF Southcrest students in the Philippines. PAREF Southcrest School is our first Rosedale Global High School partner school in the Philippines, and we are proud to work with them alongside PAREF (Parents for Education Foundation) Education Group. PAREF Southcrest School is one of sixteen schools within the PAREF Education Group, a non-profit aimed at providing holistic education by combining high academic standards and character formation and has graduated more than 8,000 students in its four-decade-long history. 

“This partnership reflects our ongoing commitment to connecting learners with real-world application and innovation in a forward-thinking, rigorous, and collaborative education environment. We’re proud to support PAREF Southcrest School with our differentiated learning solution that offers choice in how students learn, develop competencies, and demonstrate their achievements, and look forward to seeing these students realize their full potential,” says Michelle Cui, Founder and CEO of Rosedale International Education. 

A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed in Cebu, Philippines, in late 2022 with the program beginning in September 2023 and the first cohort eligible for graduation in June 2024. Upon successful completion at this Rosedale Global High School partner school, students will be granted a dual diploma, including a Philippines High School Diploma and Canadian Ontario Secondary School Diploma, allowing graduates the flexibility to apply to higher education institutions around the world. Together, we will expand access to world-renowned Canadian education that empowers students through asset-based learning to design their future and reach their full potential. 

Rosedale International Education operates Rosedale Global High School, and all Rosedale Global High School students across our 17-country partner school network attend the annual Global Student Success Forum, which connects them to more than 35 Global Top 100 Universities at our Elite University Student Recruitment Fair, providing opportunities to meet one-to-one with university admissions and recruitment staff, attend student workshops and Q&A sessions, and become well-prepared for the transition from high school to higher education. 

“Given the drive of PAREF Southcrest to offer our students a world-class education, and become global citizens, we are honored to be the first school in the Philippines to partner with Rosedale Global High School and offer the Ontario Secondary School Diploma. Giving our students the option to have an international diploma like the OSSD, which is recognized by the top universities in the world gives them the chance to have better future career opportunities in any part of the globe, to broaden their perspectives and world views, to create linkages and interact with different cultures, and have a massive international alumni network. This partnership shows a lot of promise in making young people all over the world work together as a catalyst for change and for making the world better,” says Emylou C. Visaya, Executive Director, PAREF Southcrest School. 

Daniel Moran, Chairman of PAREF Education Group says “Academic excellence is a key pillar in the PAREF mission. I would like to congratulate PAREF Southcrest leadership for this wonderful initiative of offering a Canadian international curriculum in the Philippines which can benefit our students and facilitate their academic success. This partnership of PAREF with Rosedale Global High School in offering a dual PAREF-OSSD diploma will help improve our academic standards by making them truly world-class, and provide opportunities for our PAREF students and faculty.
