GT Northeast Academy (GTNA) believes that holistic education can also be achieved in experiences outside a classroom. This is why the school, which is located in the northern town of Liloan, has invested in many facilities and amenities within its property for students to enjoy and learn from.
The newest addition to this list is a semi-Olympic size swimming pool which will be constructed soon. The 25-meter long and 12-meter wide pool will break ground on Tuesday, Jan. 29.
GT Northeast Academy president, engineer Leonora Salvane, said the academy wants to encourage its students to pursue sports and also develop safety habits through this new amenity.
“We’ve seen schools from other countries making swimming as part of their curriculum and we wanted to have it as part of ours also. We are aiming our school to be an international school,” said Salvane.
Other existing state-of-the-art facilities in the 5,500-square meter school compound include: fully air-conditioned classrooms with LCD projectors and students’ cubby holes/lockers, library, clinic, laboratories (TLE, Science, and Computer), dance studio, music room, chapel, gymnasium, canteen and parents’ lounge. CCTVs give 24-hour security and the transport service, with three air-conditioned carpooling system, provide convenience and comfort to students’ travel from home to school and vice versa.
Bridging the school closer to home, parents can access easy communication through Classemo—a school management system. GTNA was conceived out of the ardent passion and advocacy for education by engineer Salvane and her husband Rogelio Salvane, Sr. who are charismatic Couples for Christ members. GT stands for “God’s Talent.” GT Northeast Academy is also a sister company of GT Cosmetics.
GT Northeast Academy (GTNA) is situated at Gemilina St., Tayud, Liloan, Cebu.(PR)
