The aim for Pre-nursery and Nursery is to prepare toddlers for schooling, and to develop them in different domains of competencies such as linguistic, mathematical, scientific, artistic, socio-emotional, and psycho-motor domains, through a developmentally appropriate and theme-based, instead of subject-based, approach. In a subject-based approach, students from Kinder to Grade 8 shall take up the following subjects:

Subject	Kinder	Grade 1	Grade 2	Grade 3	Grade 4	Grade 5	Grade 6	Grade 7	Grade 8
English	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓
Filipino	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓
Chinese	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓
Math	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓
Science	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓
MAPEH	w/o Health	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓
Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓
Social Studies	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓
Computer	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓
TLE					✓	✓	✓	✓	✓

The books are by local (e.g. Rex Bookstore, Vibal, Phoenix, etc.) and foreign publishers (e.g. Bob Jones University Press, Beijing Press, and Marshall Cavendish).

We employ an eclectic approach, taking advantage of both traditional and progressive education. We believe that traditional approach is more suited for young learners as they need more guidance and structure in developing strong academic foundations, self-discipline and good study habits; so that as they mature, they would be equipped and ready for self- regulated, collaborative, project-based tasks.

Students will learn Mandarin, Simplified Chinese (writing), and pinyin (Chinese phonology). The focus is on the effective use of language for communication , developing speaking, listening, reading and writing skills. English is used as the medium of instruction, and lessons are delivered with the aid of technology. The Chinese book comes with a CD that even parents with no background in Chinese may use to study and learn the language with their kids. New students with background in Chinese (Grades 6 to 10), will be given a Chinese placement test as part of their Admissions Test, to group them according to their Chinese skill level: Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced. New students (Grade 6 to 10) with no background in Chinese are required to take the Summer Chinese Course.

Singapore Math does not refer to a specific kind of Mathematics subject; it refers to an approach or method of teaching Math in Singapore, and is now gaining popularity in many countries. Life Academy adopted the Singapore Math approach for Kinder to Grade 6, which emphasizes problem-solving, and uses concrete subjects and pictures in teaching and learning. For Grade 7 to 10, students take specialized Math and Science subjects.

We are a conventional school where students are required to come to school from Monday to Friday. If you are interested in home schooling, please contact TMA Home School (tel. no. 234-0432)
