Director, Basic Education Schools
Moving forward in 2022, while we continue to be vigilant against COVID-19 and observe safe management
measures, the focus of the Basic Education Schools (BES) is to continue its best efforts to provide quality education
and school experience for all the students.
We further built our systems around our already-cloud-based academic program to deliver high-quality remote
learning. Supports and adaptations were made to the schedule, grading system, student engagement, and parent
engagement, as well as aspects of school culture and social-emotional support. We created a schedule of
Zoom/Google meetings that encompass instruction as well as check-ins. Attendance for our FlexOn learning has
been strong, with approximately 80% attendance in classes. We continue to reach out to students to increase
attendance. Teachers created a chart in Google Forms to track assignments and task completion. Parents are
allowed to have access so they can monitor the progress of their children. Our online assessment systems have
continued, and preschool to Grade 2 has been administering one-on-one assessments as best as possible. If
guidelines allow, we are considering one-on-one in-person assessments in April to best assess our younger students.
Our FlexOn and Hyflex modalities will accelerate learning through appropriate digital tools. We will forge ahead to
realize our school’s vision of developing our students to be globally competitive in a constantly changing world
through a forward-looking, balanced and holistic Lorma education, a vibrant learning community with a caring culture,
close collaboration with our parents, and continuous Faculty and Staff professional development.
Our instructional program anchors on the FlexOn-L.O.R.M.A. (Learner-Centered, Organized, Relevant, Mission
Driven, Adaptable) framework for STREAM (Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics),
integrated and assessed learning.
Our BES Students learn through structured and guided inquiry, student-centered-FlexOn technology, and
interdisciplinary instruction. Reading and research practice, arts, math, and social and emotional learning are woven
into STREAM-Centric Curriculum, which is designed to help our students learn academically, socially, and
emotionally through a framework that provides opportunities to develop resilience, practice leadership and
communication, explore careers and ultimately grow into globally competent citizens.
Lorma Basic Education Schools is a leader in future-ready learning, fundamentally rooted in our competency-based
and collaborative high school immersion programs with increased technology to enhance learning. Career
connections, as well as exposure to working professionals, further relate our students to their own learning and their
future.
Our students have done well in many STREAM competitions such as the Shell STEM challenge, Math Olympiad,
APEC International Collaborative Learning Program, Fully Residential Schools International Symposium (FRSIS), Po
Leung Kuk International Arts and Design Competition, Saint Mark’s International Online Arts Competition, National
and International Robotics Competition, National and International Research Acceptance and Presentations, National
and International Archery and Swimming Competitions, Academic Quizbees, Literary Festivals, Children’s Museum
and Library Incorporated (CMLI) academic, leadership, talents and search Festivals, Regional and National Schools
Press Conference (Journalism), Outstanding Student Journalists and Athletes, ASEAN Youth cultural, and language
and leadership camps, debate competitions, among others.
The school also puts a strong emphasis on values education through its Christian Values Education Curriculum and
Christian Life program. Daily structured bible verse readings and monthly convocations are held to promote school
values.
The school is committed to ensuring that all students receive the best support to learn and grow.
The cyber wellness program is placed under the Student Welfare Services and Activities Office (SWSA-O) to focus
more on appropriate behavior in cyberspace. The school has also embarked on the Lorma Inclusive Learning
Institute (LILI) to mainstream students with exceptional needs in a flexible learning environment that optimizes their
potential for holistic development.
The community service program of the school aims to inspire students to make a difference in the community through
its service-in-action framework which is led by the Supreme Pupil/Student Government. A group of students embarks
on various school-wide projects every year to serve the community.
The school is perpetually committed to providing the best possible educational program to our students. We believe
that there are numerous opportunities, both within our curricula and through extra-curricular activities for our students
to gain the skills that will allow them to be successful in their lives after their basic education schools experience.
