The School's Curriculum

PSSO used the 1945-2017 basic education curriculum from 1990 until 2015, which consisted of levels from kindergarten to fourth year high school. Starting in 2012–2013 onward, PSSO applied the "Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013" or the K–12 law, which took full effect and shape at the start of academic year 2017-2018. This helps the student have an easier transition when he/she needs to return home. The following are the subjects that the school offers.

  • English
  • Filipino
  • Science
  • Mathematics
  • ICT (Information and Communications Technology)
  • MAPEH (Music, Arts, Physical Education and Health)

In addition, the school introduced Arabic subjects in 2007 to comply with the standards in the host country.

For the Senior High School, PSSO first offered the General Academic Strand (GAS) track with electives related to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) track for school year 2016-2017. Since 2022, PSSO has been offering all Senior High School strands.
