These are not included in the tuition. The purchase of gadgets and devices will be left to the discretion of parents. Each department, however, will recommend technical specifications for such gadgets and devices. These will be released soon.

Since the mode of instruction will be mostly “synchronous” students are advised to have a dedicated device.

Teachers must be informed of any absences during synchronous sessions.

For younger children (i.e. Kinder to Grade 3), adult supervision is necessary in terms of helping students establish a routine, advance lesson objectives, and perform simple troubleshooting.

For older children, adult supervision must be minimal, since students are expected to assume greater responsibility and independence towards their learning.

The schools of Basic Education have already scheduled student orientation sessions on the online learning platforms and learning management systems that will be used this school year. Parent orientations have been scheduled as well. Details will be disseminated by the respective schools in due time.

During the year, class advisers/moderators will monitor student well-being and progress, and coordinate with parents, as needed.

Physical education classes will continue to be offered, with a focus on health, physical fitness, and well-being. Exercise routines will also be part of the students’ daily check-ins.
