CHOOSE  GAS FOR A BETTER US

        The academic track is simply the track that prepares students for the most common college courses such as business management, engineering, and the sciences. The academic track is the most familiar one because students usually apply to colleges upon graduation from high school. Going into senior high school, students must choose a strand and track they would like to take for the next two years in their senior high school life. There are different strands and tracks students can choose from which can also help them choose a course they might want to take in college. Given that this is a big decision, a lot of thinking must be done when deciding. Here is a basic guide that can help you choose the right academic track and strand.

Four types of Academic Strands

General Academic Strand (GAS)

Humanities and Social Sciences Strand (HUMSS)

Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Strand (STEM)

Accountancy, Business and Management Strand (ABM)

        As a student of SHS you must choose the GAS (General Academics Strand) because, GAS is the most flexible strand among the four strands offered in the Academic Track because students get to learn and experience something from all the other strands. GAS is essentially for students who are undecided on which strand to take.

    GAS students are like boy and girl scouts. This is because GAS makes it more convenient for students to pick the subjects and strands they need to take in order to pursue higher education. That's actually one of the best advantages a student can get when choosing GAS over the other Senior High School strands.

WHAT IS THE MOST INTERESTING ABOUT GAS?

The GAS strand is similar to HUMSS because GAS has subjects like Humanities and Social Sciences too! So students from the GAS strand can take subjects like Creative Writing/Malikhaing Pagsulat, Creative Nonfiction, and Introduction to World Religions and Belief Systems..

WHAT COLLEGE COURSES CAN YOU TAKE?

Since the GAS Strand does not cater to specific career, you might be wondering what your options might be when you get into college. The benefit to taking the GAS Strands is that more opportunities open up for you! From Education to Business to Environmental Management-these college courses (and more!) are suitable for graduates of the GAS Strand.

REMEMBER!

"A Dream without Ambitions is like a car without gas... you are not going anywhere!"
