Senior High School
VISION
We envision Lorma Colleges as an educational Institution with a global perspective emphasizing quality, Christian values, and leadership skills relevant to national development.
MISSION
To empower students for service anywhere in the world through Christian-inspired-quality driven, and service-oriented education and training.
RATIONALE
Making the curriculum relevant to learners and nurturing the holistically developed learner, LORMA Colleges Senior High aims to give the best possible tools and career choices through an enhanced curriculum. Likewise, graduating from the Senior High School may lead to employment, entrepreneurship, middle-level skills development and higher education. However, there are still knowledge and skills that are expected to be learned from subjects that needed to be studied including competencies to be achieved prior to graduation. Thus, the need to offer globally responsive curriculum.
GOALS
Anchored in the DepEd’s Enhanced K-12 Basic Education Program, LORMA Colleges Senior High School graduates are expected to be provided with sufficient time for mastery of concepts and skills, to be developed as lifelong lifewide learners, and to be prepared graduates for the world. Specifically, LCSHS graduates should be able to:
-
acquire mastery of basic competencies, knowledge, skills, attitudes and values to meet the demands of the 21st century;
-
be more emotionally and psychologically mature for responsibilities in higher education, in the workplace, or in the competitive world
-
be socially aware, pro-ctive, and involved in public and civic affairs
-
be adequately and academically prepared for the world of work or entrepreneurship or higher education
-
be legally employable or recognized as entrepreneurs with the potential for better earnings
-
be globally competitive; and,
-
be recognized as a duly qualified university graduate or post-graduate student as required in the Bologna Accord (see DepEd, 2010).
Every graduate of the Enhanced K to 12 Basic Education Program is an empowered individual who has learned, through a program that is rooted in sound educational principles and geared towards excellence, the foundations for learning throughout life, the competence to engage in work and be productive, the ability to co-exist in fruitful harmony with local and global communities, the capability to engage in autonomous critical thinking, and the capacity to transform others and one’s self.
Curriculum Description
LORMA Colleges Senior High School offers enhanced curricular programs that are flexible with its customized alignment to international standards, beyond the minimum requirements, aligned to college degrees, and with competitive teaching force. These dynamic curricular offerings were carefully reviewed and sequenced to address curriculum lapses,and pre-requisite and co-requisite requirements.
These programs include:
Accountancy and Business Management Strand (ABM)
ABM provides adequate training for those who are inclined to pursue careers in entrepreneurship, banking, accountancy, finance and management in the corporate setting and in the tourism and hotel and restaurant industries while equipping the students with z, numeracy, and literacy skills necessary to meet the competencies and demands of the globally competitive market.
Humanities and Social Sciences Strand (HUMSS)
HUMSS is designed to equip the learners with critical thinking, research and literacy skills pertinent to social and cultural work and other pursuits in the field of the liberal arts.
Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Strand (STEM)
STEM offers the needed academic grounding for those who intend to pursue tertiary programs that are geared towards the physical sciences, mathematics, engineering and technology and be able to contribute to the fields of scientific and technological investigation.
Health Allied Strand (HAS) under STEM
Learners who dream of embarking on a profession that addresses concerns on health and wellness should take the Health Allied Strand. This strand, which is still under the STEM Strand, equips learners with core competencies as well as specialized skills in the life sciences, thereby providing adequate preparation for their eventual admission in paramedical tertiary programs.
Technical-Vocational Livelihood (TVL)
TVL Strands include Computer Systems Servicing (NC II), Computer Programming (NC IV), Consumer Electronics Product Assembly and Servicing (NC II), Animation (NC II), Medical Transcription (NC II) under ICT Strand and Consumer Electronics Servicing (NC II) under Industrial Arts Strand. Like the other strands, it aimed to equip all learner’s technical literacy of students to carry out ICT-related tasks and for middle skills development.

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.
