Launching Of An Online High School For Out Of School Youth In CDO
Little Me Academy will launch the Academe Philippine Online High School (APOHS) on October 23, the first online open high school designed for Filipino students in grades 7 through 10. This is an effort to provide high school education to the thousands of out-of-school, high-school age Filipinos who lack access because of location, disability, age, finances, and other factors.
As of last year, it was confirmed by the Philippine Statistics Authority that one in every ten Filipinos aged 6 to 24 is an out-of-school youth, which translates to around 3.9 million kids.
The APOHS aims to address a large portion of this number that lacks a high school education through its 100% online, accessible, affordable, and highly flexible online learning platform.

This is made possible through a partnership with QUIPPER and a supportive faculty consisting of Little Me Academy's instructors. QUIPPER, a Japan-based e-learning platform, ensures the highest quality digital curriculum that is rigorous, engaging and aligned to Philippine's K-12 Basic Education Curriculum. Meanwhile, Little Me's community of specially trained instructors and counsellors help keep students on track with daily reminders, check-ins, tutoring, live instruction and corrective feedback.
Aside from out-of-school youth, the APOHS aims to serve as the ideal flexible learning option for Filipinos from various other backgrounds, too.
"These include local talents engaged in outside pursuits, children who frequently travel with their families, housebound or working students, and so much more," said Little Me Academy's Chief Education Officer, Teacher Ram Olandesca.
"It is difficult or nearly impossible for the traditional, brick-and-mortar classroom to accommodate these learners. But in an online learning environment, these limitations - from location to physical ability, from availability to age - are overcome."

Artist/advocate TJ Monterde will help launch the Academe Philippine Online High School (APOHS), the first online open high school in the Philippines designed for learners in grades 7 through 10.
TJ, aside from being a chart-topping singer-songwriter, is also an education advocate.
"My parents brought me up to prioritize my studies. This strong foundation empowered me to make my own mark in the world inside and outside the music studio. No matter what we do and where we come from, we should all have the opportunity to a good education, to preparation for the real world.

"Yet sometimes, our passion, location, age, or background becomes an obstacle to getting that opportunity. But with the Academe Philippine Online High School, these obstacles are overcome," TJ enthused.
"You see, education should be beyond borders. The APOHS makes it possible."

The school's online structure allows for flexibility, accessibility, and affordability, which are ideal for the present-day, independent, Filipino learner.
To express his support for the cause, TJ will headline the APOHS's Grand Launch on Tuesday, October 23, 2018 to speak about the advocacy and perform his own music. He hopes to serve as a source of inspiration to Filipino audiences, using the influence of his music to further a significant cause for the nation's betterment.
