JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM
We believe every student is created in the image and likeness of God, with unique dignity, gifts, and potential. The Junior High School program nurtures each learner through the Personalized Education of Poveda (PEP) - an approach that values individual strengths, respects different learning paces, and helps every student grow academically, socially, and spiritually.
This comes to life through activities and programs where students choose meaningful tasks that develop creativity, critical thinking, and independence. Encounter periods encourage open discussion, collaboration, and respect for diverse perspectives.
Other offerings provide balance, supporting students’ overall well-being and development. Reflection and self-evaluation are built into the process, helping students understand their progress and set personal goals.
Guided by Catholic faith and Povedan tradition, our learning environment is rooted in the upholding of human dignity, inclusivity, women empowerment, and social transformation.
Through these, Poveda Junior High School forms engaged, adaptable, and compassionate young people who are ready to face the challenges of the 21st century as confident global citizens.
The school partners with Instituto Cervantes, a non-profit organization founded by the Spanish government responsible for promoting the study and teaching of Spanish language and culture. High School students attend Spanish classes under the supervision of teachers from Instituto Cervantes de Manila.
​
At the end of the course, all Grade 12 students must take the examination leading to the Diploma de Español como Lengua Extranjera (Diploma in Spanish as a Foreign Language or DELE) which is acknowledged by the Ministry of Education, Culture, and Sports of Spain.
