SHS | ON ACADEMIC TRACK

    Track appeals to those who have set their minds towards college education. Divided into degree-specific courses, the Academic track in senior high school aims to prepare students to more advanced university courses.

📜 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The academic track is the most familiar one because students usually apply to colleges upon graduation from high school. The only difference is that the subjects are now highly specific and specialized. 

Under this umbrella are four strands.

• General Academic Strand (GAS)
• Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMMS)
• Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)
• Accountancy, Business and Management (ABM)

Accountancy, Business and Management Strand (ABM)

    The ABM Strand is for those who plan to take up business-related courses in higher education or engage in business, entrepreneur ship, and other business-related careers.

Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Strand

    SHS students who are inclined toward, or have the aptitude for, Math, Science and Engineering studies can enroll in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Strand.

Humanities and Social Science (HUMSS) Strand

    Another strand in the academic track is the Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS) Strand for learners who want to pursue these fields of study at the university level.

General Academic Strand (GAS)

    The fourth strand in the Academic Track is the General Academic Strand, which has subjects selected from the different strands. This strand is ideal for SHS students who have not yet decided on a particular specialization. This strand, which is also a viable offering in secondary schools with a low student population, allows for electives that may be a combination of related subjects from the other tracks or strands in the SHS curriculum.
