One of the advantages of living in a McKinley Hill Condominium is that you won’t have to look far for a school for your child. Any of the many educational institutions around Bonifacio Global City can give your child the best education. Here are some of the major schools found in BGC.

It sits on a seven-hectare land in BGC and some of its facilities are a performance hall, areas for sports and activities, and two theaters. It celebrated its 90th anniversary in 2010.

If your kids’ school is located near your home, they won’t be too stressed about the drive or commute to class. This means that they can focus more and they’ll still have plenty of energy after school so they can do their homework!
