CURRICULUM
We are able to individualize our curriculum through the use of modules, which we call PACEs (Packet of Accelerated Christian Education material). PACEs are bite-sized, achievable work-texts, each of which is equivalent to a chapter in a standard textbook.
PACEs integrate character-building lessons into the academic content and are carefully designed to develop critical thinking skills and create mastery learning. Students begin each PACE by learning the objectives of the PACE, a Bible verse, and a corresponding character trait. From the very beginning students know what is expected of them and assume responsibility for their own learning!
In order to comply with the requirements of the Department of Education, School of Tomorrow Philippines has developed PACEs (modules) in subjects required for students studying in the Philippines:
PRE-ELEMENTARY Alfabetong Filipino
This subject, consisting of twelve modules, is given to students who have already begun to read in English and/or have finished the ABC's with Ace and Christi program, or to students who do not know how to read in the Filipino language. The oral activities are conducted as a group while the written assignments are accomplished individually.
ELEMENTARY Araling Panlipunan levels 1 through 6.
There are 12 modules for each level in this subject. Written in Filipino, the subject introduces elementary students to the Philippine History, geography, and culture. A secondary purpose for this subject is that it serves as the Filipino "reading" PACE, assuring teachers that students are able to read and comprehend Filipino.
ELEMENTARY Filipino levels 1 through 6.
There are 12 modules for each level in this subject given to students who have demonstrated adequate reading and comprehension in Filipino. The modules begin with the very basics of the Filipino alphabet and end with an introduction to the different kinds of Filipino literature.
