The Philippine schools in Abu Dhabi follow the Philippine National Curriculum developed by the Department of Education. The schools offer four educational levels: kindergarten, elementary, junior high school, and senior high school.
In both elementary and secondary schools, students study compulsory core subjects, including languages (mother tongue for Key Stage 1, Filipino and English), Mathematics, Sciences, Araling Panlipunan (Social Studies), Music, Arts, Physical Education and Health (MAPEH), Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao (Values Education), and Edukasyon Pantahanan at Pangkabuhayan/Technology Livelihood Education (EPP-TLE). Exploratory TLE courses are offered in Grades 7 and 8, followed by specialized TLE subjects in Grades 9 and 10.
In senior high school, students choose a specialization 'track' and 'strand' based on their skills, interests, and school provision. The subjects are divided into three groups: core, applied, and specialized. Specialized subjects are tailored to the chosen career tracks, which can include Academic, Technical-Vocational-Livelihood, Arts and Design, and Sports. The academic track further divides into strands such as General Academic Strand, Humanities and Social Sciences, Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, and Accountancy, Business and Management.
