PUEBLO DE ORO Development Corp. (PDO) welcomed the opening of The Abba’s Orchard, the country’s largest Montessori school, in Townscapes Malvar, the developer’s township in Malvar, Batangas, last August 15, 2023.
On its 25th year, The Abba’s Orchard is one of the most esteemed learning institutions in the country and has enrolled over 1,400 students across 13 campus locations nationwide. It stands as the first and only school system in the Asia-Pacific that is equipped to offer a high-fidelity Montessori curriculum for children from infancy to adolescence.
The Townscapes Malvar learning center is the school’s 14th location in the country. It currently offers classes for its Casa and Level One Program (Kinder 2 up to Grade 3) for children between 3 and 6 and 6 and 9 years old, respectively.
The Abba’s Orchard plans to eventually expand to offer Level Two (for 9 to 12 years old) and the Erdkinder farm environment for adolescents (12 to 18 years old).
Ideally situated within a one-hectare property in Townscapes Malvar, the school is envisioned to be an important educational partner for the township and neighboring communities.
