Administration

edit

The school is headed by the directress who can sometimes be the person of local superior of the congregation in the area and, thus, only nun can be the directress. The school principal follows the directress in precedence. The principal, however, can be a man or a woman. The school is, partly, run by the congregation of the Daughters of Our Lady on Mount Calvary.

Curriculum change

edit

In 2011, the Department of Education started to implement the new K-12 educational system, which also included a new curriculum for all schools nationwide. The K-12 program has a so-called "phased implementation", which started in S.Y 2011-2012.

Student media

edit

The school periodically runs its own publication called The Bracellian Eye.

Buildings

edit

The school is composed of 4 main buildings on a quadrangle and a guardhouse.
