Sometime last year, noted playwright, author and columnist Butch Dalisay wrote* of his experience in giving a talk to the students of the school. The following excerpt gives some insights on the joyful experience of the school’s community:

I had a great time last week speaking before my youngest audience ever – a group of exceptionally bright children attending a special school, the Little Farm House Holistic Education and Development Center in Beverly Hills, Taytay. Part classroom, part garden, part zoo, and part laboratory, the HEDCen, as it’s called, caters to a small community (or a large family, if you will) of 300 students and teachers for whom personalized instruction is the norm. The school has grown along with the students, so there’s a junior high school class, but no seniors yet – but there are kids galore, happy hordes of them eager to show off the school’s pet python, ferret, and iguanas.
