In partnership with ICI Philippines an integrated curriculum program designed to develop the totality of a child as a person is used in training and teaching preschool and elementary pupils. The ages 0 - 6 old is the most sensitive period of the child's development while ages 7 and above correspond to the maturing stage of development. This integrated preschool and elementary Christian curriculum was formed as a revelation from the Lord who is the Master Teacher of all.

TOTAL DEVELOPMENT
For the development of the body, physical education is also integrated in preschool and elementary curriculum. It includes body movement and control, gross-motor coordination, fine-motor skills, as well as refinement of the child's five senses.
The soul of a person (a child) which is composed of the mind, the will and emotion includes two areas of development: affective and cognitive. Affective development speaks of emotional growth and well being of a person. It deals with the personal and social aspects of the child. Various exercises and activities are integrated in this curriculum to enhance the emotional stability and affective development of preschool and elementary pupils.
Cognitive development pertains to the child's mental capacity and intellectual ability in acquiring knowledge and information. The part of the soul that deals with cognitive development is the mind which is an instrument used for learning, knowing, recognizing, understanding, remembering, thinking, reasoning and analyzing the knowledge and information acquired by the child.
Therefore, a progressive learning program properly designed for preschool and elementary levels has been prepared to meet the developmental needs of the child as a total person: body, soul and spirit. Comprehensive learning activities in all subject areas with Biblical integration have been developed to enhance their affective and cognitive development.
To provide for the spiritual growth and development of the child, Christian education is integrated in this preschool and elementary curriculum. It is based on the Biblical values concerning faith in God, the truth and knowledge about the Word of God and the child's personal relationship with his Creator.
