Back-to-School 2025: Are You Ready for School?
It may still feel like summer, but Filipino families know better—Back-to-School 2025 starts earlier than most people think. While others still enjoy fiestas and vacations, many parents are already planning uniforms, tuition, and school supplies.
Quietly, the prep begins in late May.
🎒 Why May Is the Real Back-to-School Month
Traditionally, June marks the start of academic life in the Philippines. But preparation begins much earlier. Private schools often release payment schedules, book lists, and enrollment deadlines by mid-May, and many public schools begin class postings or dry runs not long after.
By waiting until June, families face higher prices, fewer supplies, and longer lines. This school year, 2025, late May is the smart window to prepare—quietly but effectively.
✅ Your Back-to-School 2025 Checklist
Here’s a simple timeline to help you stay ahead:
WEEK 4 OF MAY: ACTION PHASE
- 🛍 Start sourcing supplies—beat the crowd and rising prices.
- 👖 Explore secondhand options for uniforms, books, or gadgets.
- 📅 Map out tuition and allowance plans (monthly, weekly, daily).
- 🚍 Plan transport arrangements and prep new school routines.
💰 Budget Hacks Most Parents Forget
Back-to-school doesn’t have to break the bank this 2025. Here are underrated ways to save:
- Join local buy-and-sell groups for used books or old uniforms.
- Shop in bulk with other parents for notebooks or pens.
- Reuse bags and lunchboxes—clean them up instead of replacing.
- Set a “soft allowance” practice week in May to test spending habits.
Even small strategies can lead to big savings.
