ETHOS Discount Policy FOR LOCAL FILIPINO Customers
At ETHOS, we recognize the financial hardship being faced by most of the local population.
Therefore, we want to help our local students save as much money as we can. To do this,
we have several discounts built into our pricing system.
Discounts available for Japanese studies
Our Japanese study programs have a fixed number of lessons.
Our JLPT program has three levels (N5, N4, and N3) and each level has 150 hours for each.
Each level is divided into six (6) modules of 25 hours each. (6 X 25 = 150) Students pay for the JLPT
program one module at a time.
Our JFT, Beginner, and Kid's programs each have a series of courses. Each
course has four (4) lessons of 2-hours
each, for a total of 8 hours per course. Students pay for one course at a time.
Discounts available for English studies
Our English study programs have mixed types of lessons.
Our Public Speaking program has only 12 lessons, from 1 to 2 hours each class meeting.
There is only one course and it is only offered as a CLASSROOM study. Students pay for the course
before the classes begin. While this course is not included in the discount program described below, we do mark
down the price from time to time.
Our American English courses, both ONLINE and CLASSROOM, provide all students, local and foreign, with discounts based
upon the number of weeks of study, and are not included in the discount program described below.
Here is how the LOCAL STUDENT discount program works!
If a student who wants to enroll in at ETHOS convinces another (1) person
to enroll at ETHOS during the same time period that he/she is enrolling will receive a 25% discount
on the tuition price for the current course/module for which they are paying. (The friend does not necessarily
have to enroll in the same course/module as the student who referred them. Please note that the friend must pay the full price.)
If the student convinces two (2) persons to enroll at ETHOS (and pay) during the same time period,
that student will receive a 50% discount on the tuition price for the current course/module
for which they are paying. (Only the student who refers the friends will receive the discount. The two friends will pay the full price.)
If the student convinces three (3) persons to enroll at ETHOS (and pay) during the same time period,
that student will receive a 75% discount on the tuition price for the current course/module
for which they are paying.(Only the student who refers the friends will receive the discount. The three friends will pay the full price.)
If the student convinces four (4) persons to enroll at ETHOS (and pay) during the same time period,
that student will receive FREE TUITION for the current course/module for which they are paying.(Only the
student who refers the friends will receive the discount. The four friends will pay the full price.)
EVERYONE in a group can save money!
This creates an opportunity for everyone in a group of friends to enroll at ETHOS and save money! For example,
let us say a student wants to enroll a friend in a JLPT module.
The current local student cost for a module is ₱ 3,999.00, and so a 25%
discount on that would be ₱ 1,000.00!
Therefore, the student would only pay ₱ 2,999, while the friend would pay the
full ₱ 3,999.00 price. Right?
However, they COULD combine the two cost amounts (₱ 2,999.00 + ₱ 3,999.00 = ₱ 6,998.00), and
then divide that total cost by 2!
This would equally divide the savings between them, and they each would pay only ₱ 3,499.00!
We can only do this for all our JAPANESE LANGUAGE courses -- both CLASSROOM and
ONLINE! Our ENGLISH LANGUAGE courses have a different discount system. Contact us
in the space below for any questions you might have.
(Please note that the base prices listed here are for local individuals paying for their own
studies. Company employee training rates and foreign student rates are higher. Contact us using the response form below for more details.)

“It was so much fun and I’m glad I chose Ethos. My pronunciation has
greatly improved and I made a lot of Filipino friends. With the study abroad plan I can
work in a hotel in Australia and I think it is fascinating. I had fun when I went out to
eat BBQ with the teachers and students and it tastes good. I enjoyed talking about various
things. I got to eat chocolate cake when there is a celebration or everyone’s birthday. I
was very happy when I passed the interview for working holiday and we celebrated.” - M
Shimakawa (Japan - studying English)
“I used Google maps and analyzed all English schools in Cebu. ETHOS
had English native speakers, English culture and traditions, perfect studying conditions,
American pronunciation, safe area, two big malls nearby, common meetings. I am totally
satisfied. Pronunciation and reading lessons were more than I expected. I improved my
writing. The Bible elective classes were high level and I regret that I didn’t attend
them more often. I stayed in the dorm and it was the best one that I have ever stayed
at. Modern, clean, and fully packed, comfortable two floor house with any item you might
need just a minute from the school. What could be better? Perfect 100%.” - O Davidova
(Russia - studying English)
“I enjoyed talking with my teachers’ every day and went on a trip with
everyone. It’s cheaper than going to America since American teachers can teach you English.
It was so much fun and the day ended too soon!” - R Hashino (Japan - studying English)
“A friend introduced me to ETHOS. I chose this school because it’s all
American. The learning atmosphere at ETHOS is very good. The students are very well taken
care of by ETHOS. I felt good, they took good care of me. I liked the Home Stay feeling
very much.” - J Tsai (Taiwan - studying English)
“When I searched the internet for studying abroad in Cebu, I found a blog
and found out about Ethos. I was able to learn English from native speakers, I had Home Stay
housing in an American teacher’s home. I was able to talk to a native speaker every day, which
really helped me learn a lot. I had an experience I will never forget. I’m really glad I came.
Thank you very much.” - S Endo (Japan - studying English)
“It was really fun to be taught by Americans and being able to Home Stay
in an American home. The teachers and Filipino staff were friendly and the overseas students
who came were all serious and kind, so I felt like we had been together for a long time even
though I only had two weeks.” - Y Sato (Japan - studyng English)
“The teachers really taught me thoroughly so I tried hard and did my best.
I was able to go out to eat a lot with my fellow overseas students. I had a lot of fun with
the American teachers’ kids and I enjoyed spending time with my neighbors.” - S Tamura (Japan
- studying English)
“Actually, I really wanted to go to America but if I didn’t have the money
and could study with Americans in Cebu, I thought it would be okay to go to Cebu without going
to America. It was really fun! I’m really glad I made it to Ethos. I’m very happy that the
teachers treated me as their own family. The daily lessons were very fun that four months
passed by just like that.” - Y Okamura (Japan - studying English)
“I worried about the peace and order of the Philippines. Could I make it
through graduation with my English knowledge? I had Home Stay and I enjoyed every day. It
was a very fun 13 weeks! And I was able to make a lot of good memories with the intern. We
always had fun every day!” - M Fujimoto (Japan - studying English)
