Hua Siong College of Iloilo (HSCI) Senior High School (SHS) Department expanded its horizons this year as it launched the Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS) strand starting S.Y. 2023-2024.

The decision to incorporate the HUMSS strand under the academic track aside from the two existing ones comprised of the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) and Accountancy, Business, and Management (ABM) strands HSCI’s curriculum is driven by a commitment to delivering a well-rounded education.

The strand is designed to focus on developing learners’ critical thinking and analysis skills, communication, and understanding of social, cultural, and political issues and aims to prepare learners for careers in fields such as education, law, journalism, social work, and politics.

The HUMSS strand offers a comprehensive curriculum encompassing various subjects including specialized subjects aligned with the school’s standard education.

The institution believes that the HUMSS strand’s implementation will equip learners with the necessary skills and knowledge to positively contribute to society.

In addition, fortifying the SHS department’s offering will allow learners to choose a path that is aligned with their interests and talents.

It underscores the institution’s commitment to providing a comprehensive education that equips learners with the knowledge and skills required to excel not only in their tertiary education, but to the world of employment.
