Saint Louis College-Cebu and the English Drive

Saint Louis College-Cebu is a school known for producing 

graduates who could speak good English and or that very 

reason, they got their jobs easily where speaking English is a 

main requirement. Why do you think so? This catholic 

institution has its special policy called the English drive. 

English drive is a policy where students are required to speak 

in English or else they would be given the chip or the will be 

reported or caught. English Drive is mandatory inside the 

school premises at a specific time. Lousians look at their 

students’ handbook as their guide towards the rules and 

regulations to follow. The rules must be strictly followed by 

the students so as not to get lots of demerits or if they are 

unlucky enough, they would be expelled if they reached level 

10 in the English Drive. There are times when English Drive 

is on moratorium meaning that the students could speak in 

vernacular. Sometimes it would be announced on the speaker 

but you mostly need to rely on your handbook for more 

clarifications. English Drive is not just about demerits this 

and demerits that. If a student submits three reports to the 

English monitor or the English teacher, they would get one 

merit. Don’t feel tortured if you are required to speak English 

for the rest of your stay in this institution it is because it will 

all be worth it by graduation because you will receive the 

Anglophone Award but, you must not have any demerits and 

you must swear that you didn’t speak any dialect during your 

stay in this institution. For those English monitors and 

special monitors, work hard and you will receive a certificate

 of appreciation (English Monitor) and a certificate of 

Recognition (Special Monitor). To every Louisian out there, 

try your best to follow the policies of the English drive 

because by the end of your senior High School year, you will

 see its benefits.
