Brave Little Heroes

In 2013, the Elementary School Division was recognized by the Philippine Association of Colleges and Universities Commission on Accreditation (PACUCOA) as the First Elementary School Program in the National Capital Region that achieved Level III Reaccredited status.

All basic education courses of study offered by the University are recognized by the Department of Education (DepEd).

Elementary School Curriculum

The JRU Curriculum meets the national requirements but is further strengthened to enhance instruction reflective of the knowledge, skills, and attitudes suited to the ever-changing needs of pupils and society. To address the challenges of the current pandemic and to focus instruction to most essential and indispensable competencies that the learners must acquire, the JRU-ESD program has implemented the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC) prescribed by DepEd considering the suggested time allotment and utilizes flexible modes of learning.

The Elementary School places great emphasis on the importance of the English language and has taken steps to emphasize this particular subject skill. The number of contact hours of the English subject in all grade levels is given more minutes. English is used as the medium of instruction in all subject areas for all grade levels (with the exception of Filipino and Mother Tongue subjects). It is the University’s belief that early and complete familiarity with the English language is critical to a more effective social and economic role of the child upon maturity. Additional emphasis is also given to Mathematics and Science subjects, as these represent, together with English, the core of the Elementary School curriculum.

Furthermore, the university adopted the use of the Canvas Learning Management system to further enhance the Technology Enabled Education (TEE) programs of the Elementary School Division. Through the use of Canvas, teachers, and students are able to access course and module contents, communicate internally, and collaborate through various online activities.

Online lessons in Canvas also paved the way for the implementation of online assessments.
