Basic Education Programs
Junior High School
The K to 12 Basic Education Program
of Tagum City National High School covers 4 years of education (from Grade 7 to
Grade 10) to provide sufficient time for mastery of concepts and skills,
develop lifelong learners, and prepare graduates for senior high school, and, ultimately, tertiary education, middle-level skills development, employment, & entrepreneurship.
In line with its thrust to strengthen Science and Mathematics education in the country, the Department of Education (DepEd), through the Bureau of Secondary Education (BSE), has officially implemented the Science, Technology and Engineering (STE) Program since 2004 in 112 schools nationwide.
This program aims to enhance the ability of learners to engage in meaningful interaction in a linguistically and culturally diverse global workplace. More importantly, the SPFL looks to further develop learners’ understanding and appreciation of other people’s culture.
The Special Program in the Arts provides a comprehensive Basic Education based on the arts, spanning a variety of art forms and disciplines. Arts education is an important part of a well-rounded educational curriculum that attempts to educate students for work, higher education, and entrepreneurship. This is a program that also assists students with potential or talents in the arts, such as music, dance, theatre arts, visual arts, media arts, and creative writing, in order to contribute to the country's socio-cultural and economic prosperity.
In response to the need of raising the level of competence of secondary school students on the various aspects of journalism, the Bureau of Secondary Education (BSE) of the Department of Education (DepED) designed a Special Program in Journalism that primarily aims to enrich the experiences, hone the journalistic skills and competencies of student-writers, and to strengthen free and responsible journalism in secondary schools.
