What should I know about public versus private schools in Antipolo?

Public schools in Antipolo follow the national curriculum and are tuition‑free, though parents often contribute to supplies and extracurricular fees. They are generally well‑located and serve the community, but class sizes can be larger. Private schools offer smaller classes, additional facilities and sometimes English‑medium instruction, but charge tuition that varies widely. Many families choose a hybrid approach, enrolling younger children in public schools and later moving to private options for specialized programs. To assess quality, review the Department of Education’s school performance reports, attend open houses, and talk to other parents in the area.
