GFA PRISM: THE NEW HOME OF LEADERS FOR GOD AND COUNTRY
GFA PRISM: THE NEW HOME OF LEADERS FOR GOD AND COUNTRY
Golden Faith Academy is set to begin construction this February 2026 on its New Basic Education Building — a visionary project designed by topnotchers Architect John Vergel (Top 8, 2017 Architecture Licensure Exam) of Nagvig8 Design and Construction, and IDr. Wesley Ronzon Soriano (Top 5, 2014 Interior Design Licensure Exam) of Reimagined Space Studios.
Beyond the design, a critical part of the project’s progress has been navigating a rigorous regulatory landscape. Working alongside a Registered Environmental Planner (EnP), Golden Faith Academy has successfully completed the Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA), Drainage Impact Assessment (DIA), and Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) to help ensure the project aligns with the highest LGU standards.
Located along L. Wood Road, Taytay, Rizal, the upcoming facility will bring together GFA’s preschool, elementary, junior high school, and SPED levels into one unified, future-ready campus.
The building is inspired by the Biblical image of light. Just as a prism transforms a single beam into a spectrum of colors, education rooted in God’s truth reveals the diverse gifts He has placed in each learner. Every part of the design reflects this vision of nurturing the whole child for God’s glory.
The GFA administration is prayerfully excited about how the Lord will use this new learning hub to raise up future leaders for God and country — equipped not only with knowledge and skills, but with Christlike character that shines in every sphere of life.
