ABSTRACTION
What is Senior High School?
Senior High School (SHS) covers 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.

Will SHS mean two more years of High

School?

Yes. These two additional years will equip learners

with skills that will better prepare them for the
future, whether it be:
- Employment
- Entrepreneurship
- Skills Development (Further Tech-Voc training)
Higher Education (College)

Will the additional two years of High School

mean additional expenses?
Not necessarily.
- Senior High School completes basic education by
making sure that the high school graduate is
equipped for work, entrepreneurship, or higher
education. This is a step up from the 10-year cycle
where high school graduates still need further
education (and expenses) to be ready for the world.

- SHS will be offered free in public schools and

there will be a voucher program in place for
public junior high school completers as well as
ESC beneficiaries of private high schools should
they choose to take SHS in private institutions.
- This means that the burden of expenses for the
additional two years need not be completely
shouldered by parents.

What will I learn in SHS that the current high

school curriculum doesnt include?
Senior High School covers eight (8) learning areas as part of
its core curriculum, and adds specific tracks (similar to college
courses) based on four (4) disciplines:
1. Academic (which includes Business, Science &
Engineering,
Humanities & Social Science, and a General Academic
strand)
2.Technical-Vocational-Livelihood (with highly specialized
subjects with TESDA qualifications)
3. Sports
4. Arts & Design

What will I learn in SHS that the current high

school curriculum doesnt include?
SHS Students may pick a track based on how he or
she will want to proceed after high school
graduation. You can learn more about the tracks and
strands (as well as their curriculum) in the K to 12
Curriculum Guides.

How will students choose their Senior High

School specializations?
Students will undergo assessments to determine
their strengths and interests. These will include an
aptitude test, a career assessment exam, and an
occupational interest inventory for high schools.
Career advocacy activities will also be conducted to
help guide students in choosing their specialization
or track.

Is SHS really necessary? Must I go to SHS?

Yes, according to the law. Beginning SY 2016-2017,
you must go through Grades 11 and 12 to graduate
from High School.

If I choose not to go to SHS, what happens to

me?
You will be a Grade 10 completer, but not a high
school graduate. Elementary graduates are those
who finish Grade 6; high school graduates must
have finished Grade 12.
