For Senior High School, instruction is designed to be inquiry-based, interdisciplinary, and outcomes-driven. Students are expected to strengthen critical thinking, communication, collaboration, creativity, digital literacy, research competence, and global awareness.

Character Formation (PUSO) focuses on values formation, discipline, and spiritual growth through programs such as the Christian Life Program and Guidance and Counseling Program.

Academic Competence (TALINO) develops intellectual ability, knowledge, and critical thinking through knowledge areas such as CLE, Values Education, GMRC, Science, and Social Studies; skills areas such as English, Filipino, and Mathematics; and enabling areas such as TLE, Computer, and MAPEH.

Personal Enhancement (TALENTO) nurtures talents and interests through the Student Activity Program and other special programs.

Based on the student handbook, Grades 1 to 3 follow formative intervention and discipline, while Grades 4 to 12 follow a combination of progressive and restorative discipline.

Teachers and school personnel work closely with students to help them understand their behavior and make better choices. The Guidance and Counseling Office provides additional support when needed.
