About Us

Christ Jeross Foundation aims to contribute to empower and uplift the marginalized segments of community in terms of education, livelihood and feeding.

Education is one program that the foundation has successfully started of in operation with a sole and exclusive purpose which is to provide a quality education and aid in socio-academic development from pre-elementary, elementary and secondary schools.

Target beneficiaries of the program are the children who shows evidence of capability and excellence usually coming from disrupted conditions with parents involvement in adversities , or separation due to crimes, hardships and other social tribulations . The foundation aligns its thrust in these cases in order to strengthen and offer solution to this growing trend to protect the children from being victimized of further corruption and damage and shifting them to become productive and functional product of society.

OUR BEGINNING

In October 2008, Pastor Ross the founder thought of buying a property as a gift to his wife for her college graduation. The lot was more than a thousand square meters. Since his wife took up education, they decided to put up a school with two-storey temporary building. The first day of operation was June 9, 2008 with 89 students, five teachers, two utility workers and one registrar with minimal facilities and equipment and five classrooms

Furthermore, in September of the same year, the owners built one permanent two-storey building with five classrooms, offices, canteen and faculty room. By March 2009, another construction of two-storey building accommodated three classrooms and another two-storey were built for libraries and laboratories for computer, science, speech and TLE. Since the school was already known to the public, many parents started to inquire.

Inquiries poured in after learning the school were offering a low and affordable matriculation with competitive facilities compared to other schools resulting to an increased of enrollees from 89 to 273 in the following school year. After the two years of operation, the school maintained its good performance of quality education and again experienced a gradual increase of enrollees up to 282 and 13 teachers in the year 2011-2012.

This year, the demands of expansion of school in terms of lot and facilities are escalating due to following reasons:

K-12 education program. Dep-Ed, Division of Caloocan approved the CJCAFI to its application and allotted 1,000 junior and senior students for next academic year. To accommodate them, CJCAI needs separate properties for them. All buildings must be permanent and standard size classrooms are required with complete facilities.
To maintain the present number of enrollees and accommodate the elementary and Grade 7-10, expansion is a must. CJCAFI is already 9 years of operation and expected to have its own permanent buildings with standard size rooms, and complete ancillary services.

This means a huge amount of budget for this project is quite needed since the school only owns 1,000 square meter lot with a temporary building. The owners cannot afford to dismantle the temporary building to give way for a new one as there are no places or facilities to transfer the students temporarily. The only option for solution is to purchase another lot, and build a permanent building. The Dep-Ed assured CJCAFI to give its allotment for 1000 junior and senior students if there is a new building to hold them in.

Doing the right thing,at the right time.
