American Curriculum

The American devised


curriculum was dominated
with the motive of conquering
the Filipinos not only
physically but also
intellectually.
The public school system
established and headed by the
American until 1935, was to
train the Filipinos after the
American culture and way of life.
Silliman University, inDumaguete
Cityis the first American
institution of higher learning to be
founded in Asia.
Every child from age 7
was required to register in
schools located in their
own town or province.
The students were given
free school materials.
There were three levels of
education during the American
period. The "elementary" level
consisted of four primary
years and 3 intermediate
years. The "secondary" or high
school level consisted of four
years; and the third was the
"college" or tertiary level.
Religion was not part of
the curriculum of the
schools, as it had been
during the Spanish period.
The curriculum was
based on the ideals and
traditions of America and
hierarchy of values.

ship they traveled on,
theUSSThomas.
The original batch of
Thomasites was composed
by 365 males and 165
females, who sailed from
United States on July 23,
1901.
TheU.S. governmentspent
about $105,000 for the
expedition.
The American soldiers stopped
teaching only when a group of
teachers from the U.S. came to the
Philippines in June 1901.
More American teachers followed
the Thomasites in 1902, making a
total of about 1,074 stationed in
the Philippines.

adopted.
