Tambo Elementary School Unit I

Schools Division of Paranaque City

Tambo Elementary School Unit I is one of the three public schools in Barangay Tambo, Parañaque City.  It started to open a new frontier in the exploration of good teaching and effective learning in 1966.

The learning institution began to accomplish its objective of giving the opportunity of education to only 150 pupils with only 8 classrooms, 15 teachers spearheaded by an efficient school head.  For fifteen years, Tambo Elementary School Unit I was situated in a rented two-story apartment in Gabriel Street.

In 1988, a generous benefactor named Rodolfo Calinisan allowed the school administrator to use his property as a good place for learning.  A three-story building was built in 1989 and was completely utilized in 1994.

Tambo Elementary School Unit I caters 5-12 years old children living within Barangay Tambo of Parañaque City. The school uses the K-12 Curriculum for Kinder to Grade II and the Reformed Basic Education Curriculum (RBEC) for Grade III-VI students and provides the entire mean for the basic education access.

As of today, there are 20 teaching personnel – all have the regular permanent position.  The plantilla items of these teachers were all original items of the said school in the Division of Parañaque City.  At present, Mrs. Emily L. Santos, PhD serves as the school principal.  The school has sixteen (16) non – teaching personnel whose salaries are funded by the Local School Board SEF.

There is only one main building which houses the 11 instructional rooms – 10 Grade School classrooms, 1 Kinder Classroom and 5 non-instructional classrooms – Library, Guidance, Canteen, Principal’s Office, and Multipurpose Hall.  At present, the same structure is still in use attending to the educational needs of 432 pupils.

For more than 58 years of providing access to education, Tambo Elementary School I continues to nurture its learners to be productive, independent and responsive in moving toward excellence.
