EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION

The ECE is dedicated to providing a child-centered environment where children learn with joy. The department focuses on each child as an individual who is accepted and valued, while encouraging the child’s development in small and large groups. The ECE curriculum is a developmental program based on a sequence of skills. It is concerned with the development of the whole child, emphasizing spiritual, social, intellectual, emotional, and physical growth. Learning takes place through a hands-on, multi-sensory approach at each level.

The nursery program highlights the development of the child’s holistic skills using varied child-centered experiences like playing games, singing, dancing, and art activities that will help them explore, communicate, and create - all in a nurturing, small class setting. The curriculum includes Reading and Phonics, Language Arts, Number Readiness, Writing, and Christian Living as the Core. It also features well-planned daily activities that will engage the pupils in reading stories, discussion, manipulating materials and physical fitness that promotes a lifelong love for learning.

The Pre-Kindergarten learners are being prepared to widen their knowledge of basic skills, practical life, and problem-solving. This is accomplished by Developmentally Appropriate Practices that recommend the use of varied strategies that address the needs and interests of the learners.  It also features well-balanced activities that create an environment suitable to meet the children’s physical, socio-emotional, social, and spiritual needs. 

Language Arts, Reading and Phonics, Number Readiness, and Filipino are being introduced to prepare them to face the challenges of the real world. Christian Living is the core of the curriculum, as the children are trained to be responsible Christians.

The Night High School of Malate Catholic School is an Outreach Program of its Pastoral Ministry, formally established and recognized by the Department of Education in 2005. It provides an opportunity for out-of-school youth and disenfranchised adults to be able to complete their secondary education under the close supervision of highly dedicated teacher-volunteers. Considering that the school's client communities are urban poor in Manila, where several out-of-school youth are involved in petty crimes and vices, the program hopes to save the youth from becoming juvenile delinquents. Aware of the needs and problems of the community, MCS opens its doors even  to the lowly and deprived members of the community, in realization of its mission to be in solidarity with the poor. The program envisions to produce graduates who possess skills and knowledge that will enable themselves to improve the quality of their lives, their families, and their communities as well. 

OBJECTIVES OF THE NIGHT HIGH SCHOOL CURRICULUM

The Night High School Program provides opportunities and experiences for lifelong learning. It hopes to respond to the immediate and pressing needs of those who have stopped schooling but are motivated to continue studies on their own. The program provides the means of meeting the learning needs of those unable to avail themselves of the regular secondary education due to financial constraints and/or time conflict. This educational intervention is designed to inculcate self-reliance, self-help and self-sufficiency among the poor to enable them to participate effectively in productive undertakings, manage their limited resources and reduce their dependence on social welfare. It aims to contribute to the improvement of the quality of life by raising the educational attainment of the poor.

To meet the ends, the MCS NHS offers both academic and technical-vocational orientations. Teachers from the regular classes volunteer to teach the different subject areas stretching the secondary curriculum into four years. There is also a strong Catholic orientation which helps build character and value formation. The MCS NHS students have also experience participation in convocations, community cultural programs and intramural/sports competitions.
