In line with the University’s endeavor to meet international benchmarks of educational excellence, University of Bohol and Chadwick International School Korea have completed a full-circle exchange of institutional visits—an initiative made possible through the support of Quipper Philippines Inc. – the educational content provider of UB VDTALC Senior High School Department.
The most recent engagement took place on Friday, August 8, when Dr. Soleiman Dias, Director for Alumni and International Relations of Chadwick International School in Korea, together with the Quipper Philippines Inc. team—Mr. Eleazar Moradas, Ms. First Jane Piezas, and Mr. Omar Socias—visited the University of Bohol. The visit featured a tour of both the UB Main and UB VDTALC campuses.
Welcomed by UB President Dr. Victoriano B. Tirol III and UB VDTALC Senior High School Principal, Ms. Sofila Lafuente-Gantalao, both parties exchanged insights on fostering academic excellence while promoting holistic student growth in response to the evolving educational landscape.
This visit followed Team UB’s earlier trip to Chadwick International in South Korea, from April 28 to May 2, 2025 which was made possible by Quipper Philippines Inc.
The delegation is composed of UB President Dr. Victoriano B. Tirol III, Vice President for Finance Dr. Maricel A. Tirol, and UB VDTALC Senior High School Principal Sofila Lafuente-Gantalao together with Quipper Philippines Vis-Min team led by Mr. Eleazar Moradas.
During their visit, they explored the globally oriented curriculum, innovative teaching strategies, and immersive learning spaces, participated in classroom observations, and engaged in cultural sharing. Discussions also highlighted Chadwick Korea’s evolution in academic practices and addressed pressing academic issues in South Korea.
Both visits underscored the shared belief that learning transcends international borders—focusing on the value of understanding diverse educational cultures and finding meaningful ways to enrich local practices.
With Quipper Philippines serving as the bridge between UB and Chadwick Korea, both institutions look forward to sustaining this cultural exchange and building lasting camaraderie in the spirit of global collaboration.
