AND LIFE OPTIONS

“I am convinced that every effort must be made in childhood to

teach the young to use their own minds. For one thing is sure: If
they don't make up their minds, someone will do it for them.”

Eleanor Roosevelt

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
CURRICULUM EXITS
 EMPLOYMENT
The Senior High School (SHS) program opens employment
opportunities for graduates. Graduates of the Technical–
Vocational– Livelihood (TVL) track may apply for TESDA
Certificates of Competency (COCs) and National Certificates
(NCs). Partnerships with different companies for technical and
vocational courses expose students to the real world of work.
Students also gain work experience while studying, and companies
can even hire them after they graduate.
 ENTREPRENEURSHIP

With the inclusion of an entrepreneurship subject in the curriculum,

SHS graduates are better equipped for small-scale business
activities, such as running a family business or starting one’s own
business.
MIDDLE LEVEL SKILLS DEVELOPMENT
Middle level skills require learning and training higher than high school
education but lower than a four-year college course. These standard
requirements built into the TVL track ensure that graduates have good job
knowledge in their chosen specializations. In the same way that SHS
graduates are better prepared for college, they are also equipped for
developing more specialized skills in technical-vocational schools.
 HIGHER EDUCATION
Some subjects in the College General Education curriculum have now been
integrated into the SHS curriculum, leaving only the subjects that are more
focused and relevant to your chosen course or major.
