ACADEMIC PROGRAMS

High School Department

The High School Department consists of the Junior High and Senior High levels. The Junior High level is from Grade 7 to Grade 10, while the Senior High level includes the Grade 11 and 12. These levels follow the prescribed K-12 curriculum of the Department of Education (DepEd).

Junior High School

The Junior High School level follows a spiral curriculum progression approach where students are exposed to the same fundamental ideas or various topics, concepts, structures, and principles of respective disciplines with the end goal of mastery. This is achieved by revisiting the same topics repeatedly across levels as their complexity increase with each revisit. New learnings are related to previous ones. Activities, projects, and programs that may cut across disciplines are incorporated in the process of learning.  
 

​The various areas currently covered in the academic subjects of the Junior High School are the following:
in Mathematics:  Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, and Statistics; in Science: General Science, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics; in History: World History in chronological order; in English: Writing (narrative, Journalism, Position Paper and Analytical Research Paper), Literature (Philippine, Asian and English-American) and Speech (Public Speaking, Debate, Extemporaneous Speech); and in Filipino: Panitikan (Asyano, Filipino at Pandaigdig), Klasikong Nobela (Noli me Tangere at El Filibusterismo), Awit at Korido (Ibong Adarna at Florante at Laura) at Gramatika.
