What is Senior High School ?
• Senior High School (SHS) refers to the
last two years of the K to 12 Program,
and includes Grades 11 and 12.
•In SHS, students will go through a
core curriculum and subjects under a
track of their choice.
What if I do not want to go to SHS?
•Technically, it’s your choice. But you
won’t get a High School diploma.
•You will be called a Grade 10
completer, but you will miss out on
the benefits of a full High School
graduate.
• What are the benefits of SHS?
• SHS has been developed to lead you to
one of four career pathways or exits –
almost like doors for which SHS is the
key:
1.Employment
2.Entrepreneurship
3.Middle Skills Development
4.Higher Education

Opening Reflection
• “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 (You Learn by Living: Eleven Keys

for a More Fulfilling Life)
Life is a choice. Our choices are
influenced by different factors -
personal, family, and social.
These influences are unique to
you and to your situation.

Senior High School Curriculum Exits:

• Middle Level Skills

Development
• Entrepreneurship

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.
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.
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.

General Education curriculum have
now been integrated into the SHS
curriculum, leaving only the subjects
that are more focused and relevant
