SCHOOL HISTORY (Summary)

In 1967, Rev. Father Ryan Martin, SSC, the

Parish priest of Gingoog City, saw the need of helping
poor students to finish formal Catholic School. He
encouraged the Religious of the Virgin Mary Sisters
in the Christ the King College to put up an extension
School in Lunao, Gingoog City.

Concerned with uplifting the dignity and

improving the economic status of the poor, the
congregation approved the opening of an extension
school of Christ the King College in the area. It was named St. Mary’s Academy. It is the only high school and
Catholic school in Lunao, Gingoog City.

School year 2020-2021 until present - the COVID-19 phenomenon has drastically and significantly changed
the dynamic flow of Saint Mary’s Academy as this has greatly affected the system of management, its processes,
procedures especially in the mode of instructional and support services delivery.

DAY 3: MODALITY

The online learning emphasizes an interactive learning

environment, designed to stimulate dialogue between teacher
and students and among students themselves. It requires
both teachers and students to take active roles. The
teacher and students do not really meet physically face-to-
face. Instead, interactions happen using the school’s online
platform.

The school will be using Google Classroom, Google Meet, Zoom and Facebook as our online platform as our
Learning Management System.
What is synchronous online learning?

 It’s a way of online interaction where learners and teachers ask and answer questions in a real
time. This is supported by media and online platform that enable learners to interact with
professors or speakers or fellow students in REAL TIME. The class schedule given to you also
indicates the online screen time with the teacher and classmates. Therefore, if possible log-in
to your Microsoft Teams account 5 minutes before the screen time.

What is asynchronous online learning?

account. It can be viewed once connectivity and signal return.

How is class schedule done?

 SY 2021-2022 is an adjustment year to everyone. This is why subject offerings this time is
divided into two groups (by semester) so that you will not be bombarded with a lot of works.
