THE BASIC EDUCATION DEPARTMENT

Founded in 1948, Holy Cross College of Calinan has evolved and prospered over time into the schood of Excellence, Leadership and Service that is so well known in our community today. Throughout our history, HCCC has been blessed with the leadership and inspiration of the Presentation of Mary Sisters, generous financial support from parents and alumni, and the selfless dedication of the men and women who served on as faculty and staff. In turn, HCCC has blessed our community through its formation of young men and women steeped in Gospel Values and educational competence, who have used their many talents and faith in Christ to enrich the lives of others. And so, with confident conviction, HCCC vows to do even more and be even a greater blessing to its students and local community.

 

We are a K to 12 school. We provide an academically-vigorous, nurturing, and joyful learning environment using traditional and 21st Century best practices. Moreover, we integrate the teachings, traditions, virtues, and values of our Catholic faith into the spiritual, intellectual, social, and physical development of all our students. With this faith foundation and passion for excellence, leadership and service, our students in the Basic Education Department will be able to make a difference in the world around them. We offer special programs in Technology and Livelihood Education for Grades 7-10 to better equip our students with technical-vocational skills aligned with the Tech-Voc Track in the Senior High School.

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

Grades 11 and 12 form Senior High School (SHS), the culmination stage of the K to 12 Program. In here, the students take on Core Curriculum as well as contextualized and specialized subjects in their preferred track.

The core subjects are designed to prepare students for the College Curriculum. Through them, each students will meet the College Readiness Standards that the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) has laid down as the minimum requirements for being admitted to any college or university. Every student has to take the Core Subjects, which have the same content and the same competencies for everyone. There are 15 Core Subjects,each of which (except Physical Education and Health) takes 80 hours to complete.

The applied/contextualized subjects will ensure that all students have the same competencies as every other student. These, however, do not have the same content. The content depends on which track a particular student chooses. There are 7 contextualized subjects which also takes 80 hours to complete.

The four strands of the Academic Track of Senior High School (SHS) has each nine (9) specialization subjects to complete, depending on the track they have chosen. These specialized subjects do not have the same content and competencies which also takes 80 hours to complete. SHS aims to empower graduates for any of the different exit points: skills development (further technical-vocational training from their Grade 9-10 TLE Specialization), entrepreneurship, employment, and higher education from the four tracks in the SHS curriculum. HCCC is now currently offering only the Academic track with four (4) strands, to wit.
