Standards of programs enumerated here, including the competencies and learning outcomes, go above and beyond the standards of DepEd. There are a few existing specialized, integrated, and additional subject areas (all nonetheless having standards beyond DepEd’s) that are not covered here due to their special nature. Most of which are from the Senior High School Unit, which includes, but is not limited to, Advanced Research, Work Immersion, Entrepreneurship, Marketing, Philosophy, Business Ethics, Personal Development, Career Advocacy, Accounting, Business, and Management. They all have their respective supervisors, though, to make sure that the schools’ standards are still maintained.

All programs have their own comprehensive curriculum maps, while all subjects have course outlines as curricular references. Each program has sub-programs such as learning support (e.g., remediation, merit class, special tutorial) and yearly supplemental/institutional activities (e.g., Intramurals, STEAM, Pasundayag, Research Conferences, Language Fest, Social Awareness Talks, and the like) that are aligned with their respective CLAS. All documents and activities are regularly improved through vertical and horizontal articulations by the teachers themselves with the assistance of their program supervisors, academic administrators, and external expert, if needed.
