Purpose and Objectives of the Proposed Program

Divine Word College of Calapan – Basic Education seeks to produce a more

enhanced quality education with a more equipped students, which are highly and

internationally competitive in response to the rising demand for the scientific

understanding, theories and abilities on today’s society. To support this noble

objective, the institution would want to implement the Special Science Curriculum, a

DepEd Special Curriculum program devised and arranged expressly to boost the

capacities of advanced and scientifically oriented learners.

The school’s specific objectives include the following:

a. To holistically nurture the students in developing the intelligence and

skills;

b. To cater learners who are interested to enroll in the Special Science

Curriculum, particularly learners residing within the school community;

and,

c. To actively participate in all academic activities especially in Science with

excellent preparation through the Special Science Curriculum.

It has been accentuated that there is a need to administer qualifying

examinations and conduct screening to filter the roster of competent learners who will

be part of the pioneering Special Science class in Divine Word College of Calapan. To

qualify as examined, students must achieve be a Kindergarten completer and must be

6 years old. For ease in computation of the average, the students must reach the

80%, D-90%, and C-95%. Finally, the applicants must know how to read. Once eligible

to participate in Special Science Class, the learner must maintain the qualifying

grades.

The Special Science Classes are held to scientific, mathematical, and research-

based curricular requirements. SSES is a research and development project designed

to develop students with higher aptitude for science and mathematics through the

implementation of an enhanced science and mathematics curriculum at the

elementary level. These are designed to introduce students to advanced science

education. In addition to regular K to 12 BEP Curriculum offerings, electives for

elementary students such as Enhanced Science and Enhanced Mathematics will be

included in the class program. Students will be rigorously and extensively taught and

sharpened by this proposed Special Science Curriculum. The learners’ limitless

exposure to Science-related instructional activities, the use of advanced, enriched, and

intensive audio-visual tools, technologies, and gadgets, and the maximum use of

laboratory equipment for scientific learning goals are the best qualities or components

of Science lessons.

Demand for Establishment of Special Science Classes for Elementary Schools

Every child is endowed with distinct abilities and is exceptional in his or her

own way (Ursula, 2017). Nevertheless, as shown to the Article XIV of the 1987

Philippine Constitution, each student has a right to an education, regardless of their

talent, peculiarity, or requirements. This article is engaged with the total

responsiveness of educational progress that Divine Word College of Calapan aims to

cater.

More so, DWCC employs the implementation of Special Science Classes for

Elementary Schools within the Schools Division of Calapan City in response to the

progressing relevance of raising an enhanced social awareness of learners, and a

reasonable number of enrollees from the various feeder schools namely Divine Word

College of Calapan Pre-school Department and Little Angels of Mary Immaculate

Children’s House with an approximate number of 5 male and 10 female learners.

On the other hand, it also aims to have adequate facilities, follow a standard-

level of performance, and achieve supportive provisions for effective instruction and

quality education. In the recovery from the onslaught of the COVID-19 pandemic,

there is a pressing need to provide excellent education to the students. Aside from the

expansion of knowledge in the field, DWCC has a high hope that learners would be

inspired to take up Science-related courses in the future.

Facilities

The DWCC Elementary department provides air-conditioned classrooms, library

and learning materials applicable for the SSC students and other support materials. It

contains computer rooms with internet connection and science laboratories that fit to

the needs of elementary pupils. The size must be suited on the requirements of the

competencies. The class size depending on the number of enrollees is reserved for the

lecture room and the practical demonstration area for carrying out special sciences.

Most of the learning activities such as on-vehicle servicing are performed in the

workshop.

Financial Capacity to Sustain and Maintain School

Divine Word College of Calapan provides the capacity to sustain and maintain

its needs since the institution has its monthly subsidy to the school. The

establishment is ready to support as the needs if the school continue to arise.

More so, the school canteen is another source of income of the school. It has a

bookstore with school supplies within the campus. Tuition fees are also necessary to

reach the standards of the institution’s quality education. Also, miscellaneous fees

include internet and dental fees, laboratory fee, electricity fee, security, and utility fee.
