LEARNING AREAS AND DESCRIPTION
Core curriculum are as described in DepED Order No. 31, s. 2012
Eight (8) learning areas of the core curriculum namely Filipino, English, Science, Mathematics, Araling Panlipunan (AP), Technology and Livelihood Education, Music, Art, Physical Education and Health (MAPEH) and Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao (EsP)
SCIENCE – GRADE 7
The course deals with the basic concepts in Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Earth & Space Science. Every quarter presents a different science discipline across grade levels in increasing level of complexity and sophistication. The course is focused on the development of awareness and understanding of practical everyday problems that affect the learners’ lives and those around them.
SPECIAL SCIENCE CURRICULUM
Core curriculum based on the K to 12 Basic Program from Grade 7 to Grade 10 except for Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE) which shall be replaced by advanced Science subjects
May be further enriched by offering other Science subjects on top of the additional subjects, provided that the requirements of the core curriculum and the Special Program are met

S & T CURRICULUM
ADVANCED SCIENCE SUBJECTS
Environmental ScienceThe course is designed to introduce students to major
environmental concepts and problems that affect the world in which we live in. It provides students the opportunity to enhance their awareness of the interactions of people and their environment and to focus on the application of concepts to real-life issues in order to promote understanding of practical everyday problems that affect their lives and their families.
Further, this course deals with the evaluation of the relative risks associated with environmental problems and the examination of alternative solutions for resolving or preventing them based on the principle of conservation for sustainable development.
ADVANCED SCIENCE SUBJECTS
Information and Communication Technology (ICT)
The course is designed to equip students with adequate knowledge necessary to the understanding and appreciation of computers as data processing tools and of the fundamental concepts of electronic data processing. It covers concepts of computer-based information and data processing including introduction to computer concepts, operating systems, file storage and management, office application, internet and webpage design.
TIME ALLOTMENT
Core subjects as stipulated in DepED Order No. 31, s. 2012 shall be strictly implemented
Advanced subjects for Grade 7 namely: Environmental Science and ICT shall each be allocated 4 hours per week
