Mano Amiga Academy’s engaging curriculum focuses on helping students to become increasingly independent learners while preparing them to succeed in middle school and beyond.

The Academy refers to XSEED’s MELC guidelines and DepEd’s Most Essential Learning Competencies K-10 while focusing on major core subjects like Math, Science, English, Social Studies, Filipino and Catholic Formation.

Our focus:

• supporting online distance learning instruction

• delivering meaningful education and connecting with students

• families and the community.

We provide instruction through a variety of digital and non-digital  materials, activities and resources to continue learning at home. The  resources include a combination of:

• synchronous and asynchronous video lessons

• digital educational applications

• independent/group work collaborations

• consultations, and more. 

In addition to our academic focus, we work to meet our students’ social emotional needs through Social Emotional Learning (SEL). Our goal is to provide our students with quality  and meaningful instructional activities and interactions that will support their continued educational growth and preparation for the incoming academic school year.  

The strategies and pedagogies used by a Mano Amiga teacher are done in order to make his or her lessons more student-centered, interactive and meaningful:

• Active Learning

• Experiential Learning

• Inquiry-based Learning

• Play-based Learning

• Project- Based Learning 

• Social Emotional Learning 

• Growth Mindset 

• Integral Formation

• Core Values
