Christian Living and Values
Education
The school offers an on-going Christian Living and Values Education subject
that would teach students some facts and knowledge on the Catholic teaching
and values that should be internalized to become a true Child of Light.
Aside from this, Values education is also integrated in the different
subject areas to develop the students’ good moral and Filipino values
necessary for serving God, the family, community and the country.
Activities such as growth sessions,
encounters and the like are scheduled throughout the school year to help the
students in their personal formation.
Academic
Program
In line with the Department
of Education’s restructuring of the curriculum to continuously improve the
quality of learning, our school is at present using the Basic Education
curriculum to fully implement the goals and objectives of DepEd. Aside from
the subjects specified by DepEd such as: English, Math, Science, Filipino
and Makabayan, the school maintained its Elective subjects in the High
School levels to give emphasis the areas of Math and English Language Arts.
Research is also integrated in almost all subjects with Thesis Writing in
the 4th year level as the culminating activity to fully apply the
contents learned in all the subjects.
Computer
Program
Computer Literacy and
Information Technology classes are offered to all students from Grade I to
High School. They act as extension to their academic classes and also help
them in their research works.
Homeroom &
Character Formation Program
Each class
is under the guidance of an adviser and a guidance counselor to help the
students develop their moral and character formation. The formation program
aims to: (1) make students aware of their obligations as a Christian, as a
Filipino and as a student. (2) help them know what is right, value what is
right and do what is right. (3) develop the students into an ideal
Christian. (4) form any phase of the students’ personality.
With these
objectives in mind, counseling and specific modules are designed to correct
and develop the students’ behavior and attitude.
Social and Leadership Program
Several clubs and
organizations are made available to support the school’s academic programs.
These clubs seek to enrich classroom learning through actual experiences and
serve as a channel to develop the student’s innate potentials and interest
that relate with others in a healthy and productive interaction.
The various
clubs of the school are: Science Club, Math Society, DLA Choir, Drum and
Bugle & Lyre Corps, Rondalla, Varsity Teams, Art Club, School Publication,
Religion Club, Dance Troupe and Drama Club. The clubs also aim to
develop the talents, leadership and social skills of the students.
Guidance Program
The Guidance Office supports
the instructional and administrative functions of the school. It is a
service unit where students can find a best friend in school. Even parents
are welcome to visit the Guidance Office if they have some problems about
their child’s academic performance or behavior.
Aside from individual or
group counseling, the counselors also conduct and interpret tests to help
the students get a clear view of themselves in terms of their capabilities
and personalities. They arrange individual inventory, make researches and
evaluations, design homeroom programs and other activities such as symposia
and talks that are important for the students’ psychological growth.
