Dustin Dimayuga has been part of the Heritage Academy family since the age of nine, and her journey demonstrates how a supportive school environment can shape a student in unimaginable ways. Beyond just academics, Heritage Academy has proven to be a cornerstone in her life, instilling invaluable skills that continue to guide her far beyond the classroom.
The Seamless Transition
When Dustin first moved to Singapore, the transition was a massive change. Facing the daunting task of starting anew in a foreign country, the disappointment of not securing a spot in a government school left Dustin and her mother disheartened. Just as hope was fading, they discovered Heritage Academy, a moment Dustin calls “a blessing ever since.”
Character Building: More Than Just Grades
Dustin quickly discovered that this school is about much more than textbooks and exams; it’s about character-building. Throughout her time since 2016, Heritage Academy instilled in her essential traits like discipline, goal-setting, and time management—qualities that have become the foundation of her personal and academic success.
The nurturing environment, supported by dedicated supervisors and an engaging curriculum, made her cultural and educational shift seamless. It was here that she truly understood how discipline and effective time management pave the way for success.
Holistic Growth Through Extracurriculars
Moreover, Heritage Academy strongly encouraged students to go beyond core studies and explore a diverse range of extracurricular activities. Whether through sports, clubs, or community service, Dustin learned the value of collaboration, leadership, and civic responsibility.
These holistic experiences have been instrumental in shaping not only her academic achievements but also her readiness to navigate a rapidly changing world. Dustin is deeply grateful for the education and foundational skills she received, which have prepared her well for whatever life throws her way.
