Junior High School
Four years of the Department of Education's MATATAG curriculum, carried on a special science load. Learners take the eight national learning areas, then add enriched science and mathematics and a Research subject that runs from Grade 7 to Grade 10.
The MATATAG phase-in
The Department of Education rewrote the K to 10 curriculum and released it one set of year levels at a time. Junior high reached the end of that schedule in School Year 2026–2027.
- SY 2024–2025
Grade 7 moves first
The MATATAG curriculum reached junior high with Grade 7, alongside Kindergarten and Grades 1 and 4. Fewer learning competencies per subject, more time on each.
- SY 2025–2026
Grade 8 follows
The Grade 7 cohort carries the new curriculum upward while Grade 8 shifts onto it, together with Grades 2, 3, and 5.
- SY 2026–2027
Grades 9 and 10 complete the phase
The last two junior high year levels move over with Grade 6. From this year, all of Grades 7 to 10 run one curriculum end to end.
Eight learning areas
Junior high under MATATAG runs on eight learning areas. Three national programs sit across them — the National Reading Program, the National Music Program, and Homeroom Guidance.
Language
English reading, writing, and oral communication, taught as a foundational literacy area under MATATAG.
Filipino
Pagbasa, pagsulat, at panitikan — carried across all four year levels.
Mathematics
Algebra, geometry, statistics, and probability, enriched for the school's science load.
Science
The spiral progression of earth, life, physical, and chemical science, taught with laboratory hours attached.
Araling Panlipunan
Asian and Philippine history, geography, economics, and contemporary issues.
Technology and Livelihood Education
Replaced by Research in the special science program, with computer education folded into the Research class.
MAPEH
Music, Arts, Physical Education, and Health, taken as one learning area.
Values Education
Character formation, carried alongside the Homeroom Guidance Program.
One specialisation each year
In the special science program the Technology and Livelihood Education slot is given to Research, and Science and Mathematics are enriched beyond the national competencies. Each year level carries its own specialised science subject.
