[edit] Curriculum
- Pre-school: The Pre-school Department, running from pre-nursery to kindergarten 2, uses the curriculum of the Institute for Foundational Learning for its English language and Geography curriculum.
- Elementary School: The elementary school level adopted the Singapore Curriculum for its Science and Math subjects in 2008.
- High School: The high school level mainly uses the A Beka textbooks for their Science and Social Studies classes.
[edit] International accreditation
2007 saw MGC New Life being granted a seven-year international accreditation from the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) and the Commission on International Trans-Regional Accreditation (CITA), a joint venture that is the first for both organizations. The reorganization of CITA caused MGC New Life's accreditation to be absorbed into AdvancED, making it accredited by the North Central Association Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement (NCA CASI).
MGC New Life is the first school in the Philippines to be accredited by AdvancED and NCA CASI and the second school in the Philippines accredited by ACSI.[2]
