The AFS Program<\/h3>\n

After your host parents greet you with traditional hospitality, it shouldn’t be long before you feel at home in their open, friendly community. By going to a local high school, you\u2019ll be totally immersed in a new language and customs, and what you learn during the day will be reinforced at night when you spend time with your host family. This is your chance to break out of your comfort zone and join in this diverse and ever-evolving culture.<\/p>\n

Your high school<\/h3>\n

There are two government agencies that supervise the educational system in the Philippines (1) Department of Education for primary and secondary education (2) Commission of Higher Education (CHED) for tertiary level.<\/p>\n

The educational ladder consists of: pre-school, six years elementary education, four years in secondary and four years in collegiate level.<\/p>\n

Subjects that are required in all schools are: English, Mathematics (geometry, algebra, and trigonometry), Science, Filipino and Makabayan \u201cPatriotic\u201d (economics, history, geography, civilizations) and Technology and Livelihood education, Physical Education, Arts and Health.<\/p>\n

Academic Year<\/strong><\/p>\n

The academic year in the Philippines starts on the first Monday of June and ends in the rest last Friday of March. For secondary students, classes starts at 7am until 5pm.<\/p>\n

Instruction<\/strong><\/p>\n

The language of instruction is predominantly English except for Filipino classes. Students must come to school with complete uniform.<\/p>\n

Returning Home<\/strong><\/h2>\n

“Life-changing” is hard to describe, yet it\u2019s nearly always the first thing that AFSers say when asked about their experience abroad.
\n“Transformed” is another one. When you return home, if you\u2019re like most AFSers, you\u2019ll bring with you a sense of accomplishment unlike any other. You\u2019ll have gained maturity and independence, discovered new passions, and feel like you can do anything you set your mind to. That transformation isn\u2019t visible only to you, though – others see it as well. AFSers gain critical skills for college and careers, ranging from language fluency to intercultural competence and critical reasoning.\u00a0“Life-changing” means it\u2019s only the beginning.<\/p>\n
