MRS. LEA P. AMORES
Principal, Grade School and Early Education
Welcome to the Grade School Department of Sacred Heart School – Ateneo de Cebu.
Keeping in mind the school’s objectives to offer the pupils quality education, the Grade School Department strives to carefully organize its curriculum and instructional programs not only to meet the requirements of the K to 12 Enhanced Basic Education but also to realize the Vision-Mission of the school.
In its quest for excellence and quality education, the Grade School Department of Sacred Heart School – Ateneo de Cebu has a certified Level III Accreditation status as accredited by the Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges and Universities (PAASCU).
The curricular program of the Grade School Department involves the following: CLF (the meaning giver of life), Filipino (pangunahing tagapagtaguyod ng kulturang Fiipino), English (partners towards global connectivity), Mother Tongue (pag-alima sa Sugbuanong kabilin ug kultura), Chinese (nurturing own culture), Mathematics (forming creative problem solvers), Science (forming Ignatian innovators for others), Social Studies (forming nation builders), and MAPECH (bearers of culture and the arts).
As we all know children come in different contexts in terms of their Learning Ability, Learning Preferences, Academic Motivation and even their Attitudes towards school work.
Varied and purposive enrichment programs are designed to provide more opportunities for pupils to further develop their talents, interests and giftedness in academics, arts and sports.
Early Education Unit (Nursery 1 to Kinder)
The Early Education Unit provides a multi-dimensional program with a focus on the holistic development of children in this early stage of their childhood. We are committed to prepare them to become Men and Women for others through our well-balanced programs and activities. We aim to engage them to acquire and develop skills that would lead them to be happy, responsible, confident and independent learners.
The Early Education Unit was established in response to the need for a program which will introduce and help prepare the children for their formal grade school education. The Nursery 1, Nursery 2 and Kinder make up the Early Education Unit. One important feature in the department is the Christian Education Program which helps the children enter into a personal relationship with God. The other highlight of the Early Education Program which seeks to promote in the children an awareness of their social responsibilities is the Service Program.
Another important feature is our well-balanced curricular programs such as: Reading (aims to produce children who are readers), Math (aims to produce children who are problem solvers) , Language (aims to produce children who can express themselves well), CLF (aims to produce children who are thankful to God as their Creator), Writing (aims to produce children who can write properly), MAPEC (aims to produce children who are creative), Chinese and Filipino (aims to produce children who are appreciative of a different culture), Guidance and Library Time.
Enrichment Program is designed to provide more opportunities for the pupils to enhance their giftedness in certain discipline.

Strengthen, explore, pursue. These are our calls of the Junior High School department – to strengthen the foundation of knowledge and values, of character and wisdom; to explore better versions of one’s self and the things students love to do; and to pursue growth holistically and excellently. We aim for students to grow deep roots and bear good and many fruits.
Senior High School (Grade 11 and Grade 12)
The Senior High School Program exemplifies the seven core values in its curriculum. As graduate-Ateneo-Hearters, when students finish Grade 12, we envision them to be inspired and ignited with the gift of St. Ignatius to humanity, the gift of Ignatian Spirituality.
