Senior High School

Lay the Foundation for Success Early
INTERNATIONALLY-ALIGNED CURRICULUM

Enderun Colleges Senior High School offers an internationally aligned curriculum which better prepares students for a seamless transition to their preferred college in the Philippines and abroad. This is mostly achieved through carefully crafted senior high strands that leverage the interests and talents of its students.

Enderun Senior High School currently offers four strands:

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

Enderun students outperformed the national average of high school students in the MAP Growth Fall 2021 Test

Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) Assessments are used to track a student’s learning development in school and are designed to identify their academic performance in mathematics, reading, and language usage. These exams are customized to a student’s current level of achievement and are computer-adaptive, which means that the computer adjusts the difficulty of the questions so that each student takes a different test. Each question’s difficulty is calculated by how well the student answered previous questions. As the student correctly answers, the questions become more difficult.

Enderun Senior High School students have fared better as compared to the average high school students in the U.S. for the subjects reading, mathematics, and language used based on the MAP Growth Fall 2021 results.

Program Highlights
Enderun Colleges Senior High School is one of the only two educational institutions in the country to provide students with the option of taking this globally recognized and internationally aligned program.

Developed by the American organization The College Board, the Advanced Placement Capstone Program (AP) features two essential year-long courses: AP Seminar and AP Research.

The courses allow students to focus on a topic of interest and develop the relevant critical and analytical skills in order to address a wide array of issues and considerations in the academe and in the industry, both locally and globally.

Taken in the first year, AP Seminar is a project-based course that challenges students to examine topics from a multidisciplinary perspective, appraise sources of knowledge, and craft arguments for proposed solutions.

In the subsequent AP Research course, students utilize their newly acquired skills from AP Seminar and go through the rigors of academic research, from design and execution to presentation and communication for impact.

The AP Research course enables students to develop their understanding of research methodology and ethics, as well as the collection, evaluation, analysis, and synthesis of information and findings to produce meaningful contributions to the existing body of knowledge.

Upon completion of the courses together with the Advance Placement Program Examinations, students enter higher education fully prepared for academic achievement and grounded in the realities outside the school environment.
