Our Location

We are located in the foothills of Valencia, in the shadow of the majestic Mount Talinis on Negros Island in Central Philippines.

Manila is 45-minute by plane; Cebu is just a quick 20-minute plane ride.

Surrounded by Nature

The villages around the campus offer

waterfalls, lakes, hot springs, organic farms, nature resorts, coconut plantations, flower gardens and a

whole lot more!

City Life

Fifteen-minute down the village (by car or motorcycle) is the little cosmopolitan city called Dumaguete.

Here, arts and culture are alive. It is also here where you can enjoy modern-day amenities like shopping malls, state-of-the-art cinemas, charming small hotels, little cafés, good restaurants (Korean, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, German etc.), spas and live music bars.

Neighboring Islands

The islands close to Negros are known for its white sandy beaches and world-class dive spots. These are Apo Island, Cebu, Bohol and Siquijor.

If you get lucky, you might be able to find your own secret beach for a day.

It’s not just all fun. We do serious study, too

Life Coaching

Each student upon entering Kalikasan is assigned a mature and responsible buddy we call Life Coach.

The Life Coach’s main duty is to regularly check on the academic and personal well-being of every student. The Life Coaches (1 Life Coach:7 Students ratio) have undergone various trainings in effective Guidance and Counseling.

They are your child’s confidante during their stay at Kalikasan.

Learning Teams

Learning Teams are student-led initiatives.

These are projects wherein a student is assisted by a team composed of fellow students, a Korean adviser, a Life Coach, a Mentor and an expert in the field. The main goal: to search for answers to a research problem or produce/build/mount a special project.
