Filinvest Land continues to elevate its flagship coastal destination in Cebu, welcoming Global Leaders International School (GLIS) to IL Corso Filinvest Malls. The strategic partnership reinforces IL Corso’s position as a premier, multi-dimensional lifestyle hub along South Road Properties (SRP) while driving FLI’s broader vision of building fully integrated, future-ready communities across key growth corridors nationwide.
The expansion was officially finalized following a ceremonial contract signing held last July 31 at Ayame Japanese Restaurant in Cebu City. Executive leadership from both organizations sealed the agreement, led by Thesbe C. Alonso, Vice-President & Head of Malls at Filinvest Malls Visayas, and Jeffrey Tan, Head of School at Global Leaders International School.
By integrating an institution accredited by Cambridge Assessment International Education directly into IL Corso, FLI transforms its retail and lifestyle complex into a vibrant center for holistic family living, learning, and wellness.
"Welcoming Global Leaders International School to IL Corso is a strategic step forward in expanding the value proposition of our SRP development," stated Thesbe C. Alonso, Vice-President & Head of Malls, Filinvest Malls Visayas. "As Filinvest Land continues to build fully integrated, sustainable communities, integrating world-class educational institutions into our commercial spaces ensures that we are not just providing lifestyle and leisure options, but directly addressing the complete lifestyle needs of families in Metro Cebu."
"IL Corso provides an ideal setting for our vision of progressive, 21st-century education," shared Jeffrey Tan, Head of School at GLIS. "By locating our Cambridge Campus within a premier coastal lifestyle destination built by Filinvest Land, we offer students an inspiring, safe, and accessible learning ecosystem that goes beyond traditional classroom walls. This environment directly enhances our delivery of world-class academic standards right in the heart of SRP."
IL Corso: A Standout Campus Setting by Filinvest Land
Situated along the scenic waterfront of South Road Properties, IL Corso offers GLIS a distinct environment that merges academic rigor with open spaces, security, and modern convenience.
Students and families benefit from an integrated waterfront ecosystem that promotes wellness and outdoor balance alongside academic instruction. The development brings premier international educational pathways—including the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) and A-Levels—directly into Cebu's rapidly growing southern hub. Built within FLI's master-planned SRP footprint, the location provides seamless access, ample parking, and family-centric retail, dining, and lifestyle amenities under one destination, perfectly complementing GLIS’s success-oriented, inquiry-based curriculum and hands-on learning approach.
This strategic expansion underscores Filinvest Land’s unwavering commitment to building more than just structures, but vibrant, sustainable ecosystems where communities can truly thrive. By continuously introducing institutions that enhance everyday life, FLI reaffirms its role as a trusted partner in nation-building and regional development, shaping modern spaces that fulfill the evolving aspirations of Filipino families for generations to come.
