Early Childhood Development

We are looking forward to getting to know you and your child! At Makati Hope we strive to develop your child socially, emotionally, physically and intellectually. Your involvement, interest, and enthusiasm will help make their learning experience more memorable and fun.

Remember that Kindergarten is a “child’s garden.” Learning is accomplished by doing, touching, and experiencing. Most of the time, the process is more important than the product.

A child’s first and most important teacher is his or her parents. We therefore encourage communication between parents and teachers. Please call or send a note if you have a question or concern.

Our goal is to make a good, responsible citizen out of every child and we can start by having the discipline to abide by the rules and regulations set by the school.

Thank you, parents, for your cooperation. We need your support in our endeavor to make our school a better place for your child to get the education that they deserve.

Elementary

In its more than three decades of existence, Makati Hope Christian School has established a reputation for being an institution that provides quality education.

In the elementary department, the curriculum is enhanced by utilizing the Understanding by Design (UbD) framework, which has been shown by research to improve student achievement. Emphasizing the teacher’s critical role as a designer of student learning, UbD works within the standards-driven curriculum to help teachers clarify learning goals, devise revealing assessments of student understanding, and craft effective and engaging learning activities.

Our highly-qualified and seasoned teachers are committed to bring out the best in every learner. Cognizant of the importance of identifying and celebrating individual differences, they create a learning environment that is safe, stimulating and enjoyable. Also, they provide opportunities for students to solve problems, think creatively and critically, make decisions and become independent learners and thinkers. These are competencies that are of great importance in today’s information and knowledge-driven society.

To produce a conducive learning environment, Makati Hope adopts the Understanding by Design (UbD) framework in designing the curriculum. Our highly competent teachers are trained on the different instructional approaches, specifically, Differentiated Instruction. Moreover, Makati Hope has vastly improved its infrastructure such as the augmentation of the school library and laboratories.

These, alongside the implementation and continuous monitoring of instructional materials, have resulted in high student satisfaction, high acceptance rate in prestigious universities, and excellent performance in government examinations.

In line with the K to 12 education reform program of the Department of Education, the school took the challenge of being one of the few schools that implemented the K to 12 Senior High School (SHS) Program in SY 2015-2016. The school initially offered the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) and Accountancy, Business and Management (ABM) strands under the academic track. To ensure that our students meet college-level standards, the school partnered with De La Salle University under the DLSU CONNECT Ed program for standardization of instruction, faculty deployment, certification of subjects and mentoring of SHS teachers.

The school will start offering the Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS) strand in SY 2017-2018.

Home School

The MHCS Homeschool Program (MHCS-HSP) is a Flexible Learning Option in MHCS that provides a solution for families when it comes to educating their children.

True to its vision of providing holistic Christian education, the MHCS Homeschool Program integrates biblical values in all the lessons, while it covers all the learning domains just like in the regular Nursery, Pre-Kinder and Kinder classes. Although the basic medium of instruction is English, MHCS-HSP also offers basic Chinese lessons for young learners.

MHCS-HSP is suitable for young learners ages 2 years and 10 months up to 5 years and 10 months. However, it is important to note that the MHCS Homeschool Program requires the full support of the parent or the adult designated as the primary instructor, in order to achieve success in the delivery and implementation of instruction.

The MHCS-HSP caters to the three Early Childhood levels, namely: Nursery (3 yrs old by October of the new SY), Pre-Kinder (4 yrs old by October of the new SY), and Kinder (5 yrs old by October of the new SY). These ages match the levels required in our regular classes. The MHCS-HSP is suitable for young learners within these age brackets.

For the Nursery and Pre-Kinder Levels, the MHCSHSP will focus on developing the basic learning domains such as: English Language & Literacy, Basic Chinese Literacy, Numeracy & Mathematical Thinking, Creative Arts, Gross & Fine Motor Skills, Self-Help Skills, and Socio-Emotional Domain.

For the Kinder Level, the basic subjects are Science, Math, English, Filipino, Chinese, Christian Values Education (CVE), P.E. and Art.

After completing the specific homeschool program, the child is automatically placed in the next level (from Nursery to Pre-Kinder, from PreKinder to Kinder) in MHCS. MHCS homeschool Kinder students who complete the requirements for the level will automatically qualify for the MHCSODL Grade 1 Level.

FLEXIBILITY

The MHCS-HSP is designed for flexibility to complement the homelife. Families can schedule their child’s homeschool learning at any time throughout the day. It considers the time used for house chores which can be incorporated in the homeschool schedule.

SUPPORT

An MHCS Homeschool Advisor is assigned to guide families in homeschooling. MHCS provides the necessary modules and lists of learning activities needed in the homeschool program, including the preparation of assessments. To help families in their homeschooling journey, consultation is available once a week, while mentoring webinars will be provided per semester and group chats will be available daily.

COMPETENCY-BASED

MHCS-HSP is anchored on DepEd’s Most Essential Learning Competencies that will prepare the students for regular schooling when they move to the higher levels.
