PRE-SCHOOL
PRE-SCHOOL
Nursery and Kinder
The first five years are undoubtedly some of the most critical years in a child’s development. At this age, the child must be taught some of the most fundamental lessons in life, some of which are being taught the varying degrees of what is right and wrong. The child must also be nurtured and equipped with the necessary skills and values in order to be ready for future studies. We see it as essential for the child to be able to read and write, develop physically, socially, and intellectually, and integrate values in their everyday actions so that they will be ready for school.
Because of the growing disruption in the field of technology that’s followed by the ever-widening gap in our societal values, Don Bosco believes that our new offering of a kindergarten program, equipped with an integral value-based education, and backed by the Salesian preventive system, is the best way to prepare the learner for the twenty-first century.
ELEMENTARY
Primary - Grade 1-3; and, Intermediate - Grade 4-6
The Grade School program develops the information literacy and lifelong learning skills of the students in order for them to initiate the competencies needed in the Information and Technology Age, and to eventually become servant-leaders, empowered and responsible for themselves and others in the same charism permeated by our founder, St. John Bosco.
Faithful to Don Bosco’s unique style of forming and educating the young, we see to it that our students study, work, play, meet friends and pray in a community that educates by evangelizing and evangelizes by educating.
The program also instills the value of academic performance by providing an extensive academic support program to its students enabling them to meet the content and performance standard necessary for their grade level.
JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL
Grade 7-10
The Junior High School Department provides secondary level education based on the requirements of the Department of Education in an environment that is distinctly Salesian. The department delivers a double curriculum – Academic, covering subject areas in a college preparatory high school, as well as a Technical curriculum, with specializations in Electrical Installation and Maintenance, Consumer Electronics, Computer Programming, and Industrial Drafting.
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
Grade 11-12
Don Bosco Tarlac has been approved by DepEd Tarlac City as a pilot implementer of the Strengthened Senior High School Program beginning SY 2025-2026.
Here are the key changes:
Streamlined Curriculum: Core subjects for Grade 11 have been reduced from 15 per semester to just 5 per year. This decongests the curriculum and allows students to focus more deeply on essential competencies.
Two-Track System: The previous four tracks (Academic, Technical-Vocational-Livelihood, Arts and Design, and Sports) have been consolidated into just two: Academic and Technical-Professional (TechPro).
Flexible Electives: Students can now choose electives across tracks, giving them more freedom to tailor their learning to their interests and career goals. Academic track students will take 7 electives (including a capstone project), while TechPro students will complete 3 electives and a work immersion.
Increased Work Immersion: The number of hours for work immersion has nearly doubled—from 340 to 640 hours—to strengthen real-world readiness.
Industry Partnerships: DepEd has partnered with the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry to integrate industry-based training, bridging classroom learning with practical skills.
Don Bosco Tarlac will be offering the Pure Academic Track designed for college preparation withe the following clusters:
Arts, Social Sciences, & Humanities
Business & Entrepreneurship
STEM - Engineering
STEM - Medical
Grade 12 will still be using the old SHS curriculum with 3 specialized tracks: STEM; ABM; and HUMSS.
The STEM Strand equips the student with the necessary knowledge, skills and attitude for science-oriented courses in College by providing a solid foundation in Math with Calculus and Science with Physics, Biology and Chemistry. Students who finish STEM can follow a career path in Engineering, Architecture, Medicine, Aviation and many more.
The ABM strand prepares the Senior High School students for business-related courses in college with subjects in Accountancy, Business Math and Finance, Economics, Marketing and Enterprise. The students are also introduced to use of Systems, Applications and Products (SAP), a computer software used in many business establishments today.
The HUMMS strand is designed for those who wonder what is on the other side of the wall. In other words, you are ready to take on the world and talk to a lot of people. This is for those who are considering taking up journalism, communication arts, liberal arts, education, and other social science-related courses in college.
