The Holy Child Academy aims to develop the literacy and comprehension rate of its students to help them in their latter activities.

English Proficiency is deemed to have been one of the most important skills in terms of Globalization as it marks the innate capability of a person to connect with others, local and international.

On the year 2018, the institution teamed up with Scholastic Co. (Scholastic Asia) to implement the program and has been in use since then.

According to the Scholastic Asia, “Scholastic PR1ME English Program is a comprehensive, full-service English literacy program that builds English literacy skills to mastery, beginning with the foundations of reading. Mapped to the Department of Education ( DepEd) Curriculum, the PR1ME English Program helps Scholastic partner schools and their communities in bringing English learning at every level to mastery through the Circle of Reading Success - Measure, Engage, Instruct and Monitor. Easy to implement, and supporting teachers and schools in every way with rich teacher resources and customized services, PR1ME English Program is based on a strong body of research and already proven in its efficacy in Philippine schools to deliver improvement in reading ability, student engagement and all round language skills. Since it first started in the Philippines as the Scholastic Assessment & Enrichment Program for Reading (AEP) 10 years ago, in 2007, PR1ME English Program has provided schools with a powerful blended learning solution that gets students reading (and loving reading!), writing, having meaningful conversations and thinking critically with confidence.
It is based on more than 10 years of research in the Philippines as well as global best practices. It provides resources and instructional models that are proven effective in the Philippines, meeting needs as well as goals and desired outcomes. Schools can successfully implement PR1ME English Program in 40 to 60 minute class periods once a week for class sizes that range up to 45 students. Our research in schools in Philippines that implemented this program shows that the more instructional time a school allows for PR1ME English, the greater the gains in reading ability.
A systematic, easy-to-implement program designed to develop confident readers, this comprehensive program is based on a teacher-directed, whole-class learning approach.”
