Message from the Principal

LSCA gladly kickstarts our 2024 accreditation journey with the submission of the Senior High School (SHS) Preliminary Visit Self-Survey Report. 

Completed exactly a year after the school submitted the digital report for the Level III Accreditation Status of the Basic Education Program (Kindergarten to Grade 10), this report takes utilization of technology and digitization of documents a step further for the convenience of the accreditors and readers. For instance, to make reading the report while inspecting the evidence more efficient, the self-survey team decided to create a Google Site where all the necessary institutional documents (e.g. School Profile, Administrative Manual, Student Handbook, Enrollment Data, etc.), area reports, and supporting documents are accessible in just one click. 

Likewise, in-text citation of evidence is observed so that the evidence immediately follows the information presented. This enables the reader to access the evidence right away without having to open a different tab or to scroll down until the end of the document. 

Moreover, within the area reports, voluminous supporting documents (e.g. Institutional Administrative Manual, Student Handbook, etc.) are truncated so that readers will be directed immediately to the page/part of the document that directly supports the information presented. Links are available at the end of the evidence should the readers want to view the full version of the document. Similarly, for exhibits that have many specimens across the three school years covered (e.g. Learning Plans, Topic Outlines, etc.), the self-survey team linked at most three examples in the area reports. A link to the virtual storage facility is provided at the end of the evidence should the accreditors wish to inspect other specimens.  

Finally, this digital self-survey report contains pieces of evidence that would have been more challenging to present in print such as recordings of virtual meetings and classes, and videos and pictures of school events. 

This self-survey report describes how LSCA, through the SHS Cluster, adheres to quality standards for school operations and academic programs for the past three school years to better serve the learners entrusted to our care. It is our narrative on how our SHS cluster navigated the unfamiliar and dynamic pandemic and post-pandemic educational landscapes to realize our mission and vision, as well as to continue the legacy of our founder, St. John Baptist De La Salle, of teaching minds, touching hearts, and transforming lives.  

Animo La Salle!
