Home of the Champions
MILC in its 14th year as a Catalyst of Excellence continues to be a home of the champions.
What makes a champion? It is not the trophy. It is not the talent. Not the most points,
the fastest time, or the most records. It is not even being the best of the best. All of these
things are just the benets of what makes a true champion. Real winners in life are those
who have the courage to see the impossible. They are the people who overcome and
persevere through all adversity. They learn from their mistakes, and no matter what,
they never give up on their dreams. A true champion has a vision, a vision where
change is not a burden. MILC with its vision to develop intellectual growth not only in
academics but also in non-academics provides young learners to attain their utmost
potential to develop their multiple intelligence in and out of the school. With this, the
school makes every MILCian a soul of a champion who embraces change.
Through the groundbreaking and critical thinking of Ms. Doris S. Cada, the
president of this institution, all ideas have been scrutinized in order to come up with the
best concept that could be of great help in developing one's ability. And that's one of the
secret recipes on how to achieve success; and that is not merely a philosophy, that is a
culture!
The competitiveness and the productiveness of MILC have been tested through the age. It
has participated a lot of contests and bagged numerous awards. Those are the fruits of hard study
and perseverance.
When it comes to the academics, MILC make names, while on the non-academic such as athletics and other
competitions, it has left its trademarks in giving a respectable ght.
It has been recognized not only in the province of Batangas but as well as in the CALABARZON.
One of the nest proofs that the institution has grown and renowned is that every year its enrollment rate
increases and surpasses the expected number of enrollees. Therefore, this means that it continuously and
spontaneously gives its best to provide quality education to the pupils who entrusted the stepping stone of
their future in the institution.
After a fruitful 14 years, MILC, has never failed in improving its service and achieving its goals.
Through all its humble beginnings, a tough foundation has been established; foundation that will be
the guiding light in honoring up more talents and potentials.
Success is a combination of strategy and hard work, that is why from cultivating the multiple
intelligences, much has truly been and will always be the essence of excellence.
Change is a permanent phenomenon and for our prestigious school, change has helped
us to aim more for excellence. More dreams and achievements are waiting for the
school to reap. With wide full arms, MILC is ready! Kudos MILCians!
