The curricular program at the Sisters of Mary Schools in the Philippines is closely aligned with the Junior and Senior High School curricula of the K to 12 Basic Education Program, with a particular emphasis on technical vocational courses. This program, administered by the Department of Education, aims to enhance learners' fundamental skills, develop competent citizens, and prepare graduates for lifelong learning and employment.
At the Sisters of Mary Schools, students engage in a comprehensive K to 12 curriculum that includes 4 years of Junior High School, and 2 years of Senior High School. Since its implementation in June 2012, this program has provided a robust 12-year educational framework, allowing students to master essential skills and competencies. The Sisters of Mary Schools place a significant emphasis on technical vocational courses, equipping students with practical and industry-relevant skills that prepare them for immediate entry into the workforce or further specialization.
The focus on technical vocational education ensures that graduates are not only academically prepared but also possess the hands-on experience and vocational expertise needed to excel in various career paths. By the age of 18, students are ready to embark on professional careers, pursue entrepreneurship, or continue their education, with qualifications that are recognized and respected both locally and internationally.
Additionally, the Sisters of Mary Schools integrate values formation and holistic development into their curriculum, fostering responsible and morally grounded individuals. This combination of technical skill development and character building positions their graduates to succeed in both their professional and personal lives, making significant contributions to society.
