If world-class athletes spend years training for a shot at a professional career, shouldn’t aspiring engineers, architects, nurses, CEOs, academicians, and other professionals also have a chance to prepare for their dream careers beforehand?
Internationally recognized educational institutions like Mapúa University Senior High School (SHS) understand the importance of helping students build a strong foundation for their future professions by offering two high-level tracks: Academic and Arts and Design.
The Academic Track, available at both the Intramuros and Makati campuses, offers four strands. Students can also take the Academic Track through the homeschool program, while the Arts and Design Track is available exclusively at the Makati campus.
Mapúa SHS curricula align with Department of Education (DepEd) guidelines, being outcomes-based and learner-centered to ensure students master essential concepts and skills before advancing to more complex subjects and tasks. This approach ensures a solid grasp of fundamentals applicable to real-world scenarios. Another distinctive feature of the school is its unique pedagogy.
“Mapúa SHS stands out due to its commitment to excellence, innovative teaching methods, and integration of digital solutions. By combining traditional and modern teaching methods and leveraging digital tools, we prepare students for success in a dynamic world,” said Charlotte Monteiro, Mapúa SHS principal.
Monteiro further explained the institution’s hybrid learning model, which combines online, asynchronous, and face-to-face instruction. This strategy allows students to learn at their own pace while providing opportunities for in-person interactions with teachers and peers.
Mapúa SHS fully embraces digital tools and technology in its curriculum. Students have access to online platforms, virtual labs, and e-learning resources that enhance their learning experience and prepare them for the digital age.
Learners also receive regular leadership and creativity training, wellness sessions for stress management and mental health, industry-related seminars, student clubs and events, and coaching for external competitions.
This innovative, personalized teaching approach has led Mapúa SHS to consistently perform outstandingly in various competitions.
“Mapúa has a long-standing reputation for providing high-quality education. Our students consistently excel academically, with many achieving top board exam results, ensuring a strong foundation for their future success. Mapúa graduates have excelled in various fields globally,” said Monteiro.
In addition to academic excellence, the school equips students with the competencies to relate, interact, and contribute positively to society.
