 PURPOSE OF THE LEARNER’S HANDBOOK
The school's policies and procedures are designed to assist
learners in achieving their objective of receiving a
comprehensive education. They have a very clear objective: to
ensure that learning is possible and effective in the classroom
and throughout the school, and to develop the learner's character
through discipline. Learners should see adherence to school rules
in this manner.
The purpose of this learner's handbook is to familiarize ADLC
preschool and grade school learners and their parents with the
policies and programs of the institution. The information
presented here aims to create disciplined individuals who can
uphold order not only within the school but also outside of it.
When a learner signs up for A.D. Learning Center he or she
declares a willingness and commitment to follow all of the
school's rules and regulations. He or she must consequently
completely understand the regulations and adhere to them.
Parents must read and comprehend this manual in order to
understand what the ADLC is aiming to accomplish for their
children and what they can do to support their children in
upholding their commitment and obligations as ADLC learners.

BRIEF HISTORY OF A.D. LEARNING CENTER
The great aim of education is not knowledge but action. It’s the
reason why the A.D. LEARNING CENTER open its classes in
preschool and grade school courses. The idea of the start of the
opening such courses was been advised of the former Schools
Division Superintendent of SDO 1 Pangasinan where Nursery
was not included in the k-12 Program of the Department of
Education.
In a point of view of a teacher, it is momentous to learn the basic
before entering much complicated lessons. Such reason behind, a
preschool classes of fifty (50) pupils was organized for the
School Year 2016-2017.
As a starter program, the management availed its first DepEd
Permit by the year 2015 and it has been approved last October
21, 2015 with DepEd Permit No. R-1 PE-027, S. 2015.
Preschool classes scopes the mastery of the letters of the
alphabets in English and its sound, Filipino, basic lessons in
Mathematics such as counting and writing numbers 1 to 10 and
lastly in Writing like basic strokes of the alphabet.
We can say it is successful program due to the regards and
responses of parents as well as guardians. Because of such
comments, parents urged the management to continue the
program so that the learning of their children will continue in the
same institution.

recognizes the fact that most learners in their present stage of
development do not yet have self-control of a mature adult. These rules,
guidelines and procedures in accordance with Manual of Regulations for
Private Schools and are to be used in conjunction with its provisions and
other pertinent DepEd isuances and existing laws of the Philippines
