Academic Programs
Academic Framework
VCS Academic Program is anchored on the adoption , implementation and the incorporation of three important keys for the development and formation of VCS learners.
Religion as the Core of the Curriculum
The Integral Core Curriculum
Veritas Catholic School’s children and young men and women possess hearts shaped by Christ, minds sharpened by the truths of the Gospels and the wisdom of mentors, mouths tempered by correct, respectful, and effective language, and hands and feet dedicated to unconditional service.
The VCS curriculum, therefore, is a reflection of who our Veritans are, and what they will become, for at the CORE of all our learning experiences is CHRISTIAN LIVING, VALUES, AND CHARACTER FORMATION, as articulated in our CORE VALUES.
Christian Living and the Integral Core Curriculum
As a Catholic school, Veritas has always subscribed to Religion as Core of the Curriculum, aptly focusing on faith formation and unconditional service. While these remain firmly in place as embedded in our core values, the added dimension of a “shared humanity” and a “common home or planet” are now articulated in the VCS curriculum, across all learning areas, co -curricular programs, and entire school environment.
It is thus the strategic direction of the school to let the Gospel-rooted principles of Pope Francis I’s landmark encyclical, Laudato Si and the urgent action plans of the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals, and UNESCO’s Global Citizenship permeate the K-12 curriculum, making education truly integral, reflective and transformative, given the needs and opportunities available for our 21st century Valiant learners, while being fully compliant with the minimum requirements set forth by the Philippine Department of Education.
The Philippine Department of Education’s K-12 Curriculum
Veritas Catholic School subscribes to the minimum requirements of the DepEd K-12 curriculum, then augments it with appropriately challenging material culled from the frameworks of Laudato Si, Sustainable Development Goals, Global Citizenship, and the most updated research on each of the subject area domains.
