It is known for its mentoring program, which is a unique characteristic shared with all other PAREF schools in the Philippines.

Seal[]

The Springdale seal consists of an anchor and a boat. The anchor stands for the principles that the school wishes to inculcate in the students so that they may use these unwavering values and ideals in their growth to maturity and in their contribution to society. The boat, a sturdy Filipino vinta, is the PAREF symbol. It stands for the educational philosophy shared by all the schools that belong to the PAREF system. Together, they also make up Springdale's two 'friendly' houses where members of each house (i.e. from students to their own parents) compete for house points throughout the school year's many activities culminating in the awarding of the House Cup by Father's Day. Blue and white are the colors of the Boat and Anchor houses respectively.
