The Abba’s Orchard expands education program in Pueblo de Oro Townscapes Malvar 

Pueblo de Oro Development Corporation (PDO), the residential development arm of the ICCP Group, is expanding its educational offerings by The Abba’s Orchard at its Montessori farm campus in Pueblo de Oro Townscapes Malvar in the province of Batangas.

The Abba’s Orchard, the Philippines' largest and authentic Montessori school, is scheduled to inaugurate its farm-based adolescent program in August 2024 at its farm campus in Pueblo de Oro Townscapes Malvar.

The school commenced operations in Malvar, Batangas in August 2023, initially offering pre-school and lower elementary programs. The campus in Pueblo de Oro Townscapes Malvar marks The Abba’s Orchard’s 14th location in the country.

Pueblo de Oro’s collaboration with The Abba’s Orchard underscores a commitment to realizing a genuine live-work-play-learn community within Pueblo de Oro Townscapes Malvar, a 42-hectare mixed-use development.

In partnership with its sister company, Science Park of the Philippines (SPPI), Pueblo de Oro has curated a master-planned community featuring exclusive subdivisions offering high-quality and sustainable homes, strategically situated near employment opportunities, commercial establishments, places of worship, and educational institutions such as The Abba’s Orchard.

A farm campus represents Dr. Maria Montessori’s concept of a prepared environment for adolescents, known as Erdkinder, which is German for "children of the earth." Serving as a laboratory for life, Erdkinder provides a setting for "production and exchange" within a "work and study" curriculum designed to address adolescents' evolving sense of self-worth, collaboration, and mission.
