Our 14-year curriculum adopts the best approaches of three curricula—Singaporean, American, and
Filipino.
Singaporean
Our Mathematics and Science courses are based on the Singaporean curriculum which uses
mastery and inquiry as its framework.
American
Our English Language Arts course uses the Common Core Standards. Our Social Studies
course follows the AERO Common Core Plus standards.
Filipino
Our curriculum follows DepEd’s K to 12 Program—Kindergarten, 6 years of Primary Education, 4
years of Junior High School, and 2 years of Senior High School.
Kindergarten Pre-K and Kinder
Lower School Grades 1 to 3
Middle School Grades 4 to 6

•Reedley Kindergarten School (RKS)
WHERE LOVE FOR LEARNING BEGINS. The RKS uses a theme-based curriculum that is grounded on international
standards, well-established early childhood educational philosophies, and a holistic multi-disciplinary
approach.
The MATHEMATICS course is based on Singaporean Mathematics Curriculum that improves the
mastery of mathematical concepts by starting with the concrete, then moving through
pictorial and finishing with the abstract.
The GRADE SCHOOL ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS uses the standard that focuses on the following
strands—Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening, and Conventions of Standard English
through formative exposure to a wide variety of literary and informational resources in a
rich and active learning environment. The Lower School 1 has begun transitioning to the
Common Core standards. The GRADE SCHOOL ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS
course uses the Common Core standards and focuses on an integrated approach to learning and
using language effectively in all content areas and holistically builds proficiency in
speaking, listening, reading, and writing. The JUNIOR HIGH
SCHOOL ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS course uses standards for English Language Arts and is
rooted in the four macro-skills of language—reading, writing, speaking and listening. The SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL ENGLISH course uses a communicative
approach to help students prepare for college level English Courses. At the end of the
course, students are expected to have enhanced their facility of the English language and
proficiency in reading, writing and speaking.
The SCIENCE course is based on the Singaporean Science Curriculum. It uses inquiry as its
framework, where the child is encouraged to be responsible for his own learning, the same
way scientists pursue their work. The students are exposed to everyday situations that will
mold them to be Reesians, in mind, who are critical thinkers and problem solvers. The course
challenges the students to solve current scientific issues and contribute to society. The grade school Science course follows the standards set by the
Ministry of Education (MOE) of Singapore while the Junior High School Science Program
follows the Cambridge “O” Level Standards.
The SOCIAL STUDIES course follows the AERO Common Core Plus standards for Social Studies. It
is designed to address the standards of Time, Continuity & Change, Connections & Conflict,
Geography, Culture, Society & Identity, Government, Production, Distribution & Consumption,
and Science, Technology & Society.
The LIFE SKILLS course adopts the World Health Organization (WHO, 1997) definition of Life
Skills: “Life Skills are living skills or abilities for adaptive and positive behavior that
enable individuals to deal effectively with the demands and challenges of everyday life.”
The course aims to equip students with skills needed to overcome issues they encounter in
their everyday life. The program centers on 3 areas: (1) spiral character education program,
(2) age-appropriate campaigns including Anti-Bullying, Career Exploration and Substance
abuse, and (3) Self-Management.
The PHYSICAL EDUCATION course uses the framework that ensures our students gain the proper
motor skills and sport specific skills needed to live a healthy and active lifestyle. It
uses the sport specific, skill building mastery framework to develop the whole child.
The MUSIC AND ARTS course of Reedley aims to develop Reesians who are artistically and
musically creative and expressive of themselves through the education of Aesthetic Literacy
and Art/Music Production, to be global reflections of cultural identity and appreciation.
This will be achieved through Art and Music exposure to the canons and the understanding of
social, historical and cultural contexts of the arts in a nurturing environment that invokes
passion, promotes cultural tolerance and critical thinking.
The INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY course focuses on the procedures of using various software
applications as tools that help students do word processing procedures, make visual
presentation, data manipulation, photo, audio and video editing, and web developing to
attain high proficiency in Information Technology.
The FILIPINO AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE curriculum is based on the Communication strand of Ohio
Strands for Educational Achievement and the Mother Tongue standards for bringing to a second
language. Focusing on communication, Filipino as a Foreign Language targets oral and written
communication skills (interpersonal), comprehension of live, written or recorded texts
(interpretive), and presentation of information and ideas on familiar topics to general
audiences or readers (presentational). The course aims to develop the Reesian at heart who
appreciates the different origins and cultures of people.

Policy to ensure zero tolerance for any act of child or peer abuse, exploitation, violence,

Late Students Program
Academic catch-up sessions for our students who come in 6 weeks after official classes have started.
Students under this program are given the opportunity to attend after-school classes to discuss missed
topics. The number of catch-up sessions is based on the number of weeks missed.
English as a Second Language (ESL)
An academic supplementary program that meets the communicative needs for cognitive learning of second
language learners whose English proficiency level falls below grade level.
Our teachers evaluate English skills among foreign students and may recommend this program if need be.
Our 3-period ESL sessions are spread over each week after regular classes and accommodates a maximum of
12 students.
