SASHS - Alternative Learning System

Ang Alternative Learning System (ALS) ay isa sa mga programa ng na naglalayong matulungan ang mga out-of-school youth at adults na ipagpatuloy ang kanilang edukasyon — tulad ng salt vendor na si Lola Lo**ta.

Matapos mahinto sa pag-aaral dahil sa hirap ng buhay, nagpasya siyang bumalik sa eskwelahan noong 2019. Sa kabila ng mga pagsubok tulad ng kanyang katarata, isang aksidenteng iniwan siyang bedridden ng isang taon, pati na rin ang pandemya, nakapagtapos siya ng Junior High School sa pamamagitan ng ALS. Tinuloy niya ito hanggang Senior High School, at ngayon ay isa na siyang college student sa University of Rizal System - Angono.

EVENT RECAP | Nutrition Month Celebration 2026

Last July 31, San Agustin (Stand Alone) Senior High School celebrated Nutrition Month at the San Agustin Covered Court with the theme, "Nutrition at Kalikasan, Ating Pangalagaan."

Representing the ALS Department in the Best Headdress Competition were Sam Alfelor of Grade 12 ALS Diwani and Angel Mae Zoilo of Grade 11 ALS Magnindan. Although they did not bring home the title, they proudly represented the department with creativity, confidence, and courage. We are proud of both of you for stepping forward and giving your best.

Congratulations to all the participants who helped make this celebration meaningful. May we continue to promote healthy living while caring for our environment.

We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who made the Gift-Giving/Outreach Program and Literacy & Numeracy Tutorial at BJMP Iriga a meaningful and successful activity.

Thank you to the BJMP Iriga personnel, our ALS teachers, the SASHS Rover Circle #09: Gilas-Lakas '27 Scouts, and all the people behind this outreach. Your time, effort, and generosity brought smiles and encouragement to our ALS learners.

Maraming salamat po for supporting programs that give hope, care, and learning opportunities to everyone.

Together, we continue to serve.

ALS teaches us that education is not a race. While some finish ahead of others, others reach the finish line at their own pace and in their own time. What matters is that they never stopped moving forward.

The beauty of ALS is that behind every graduation is a story. A story of sacrifice, interrupted dreams, responsibilities placed above opportunities, and countless challenges that could have ended someone’s education, but didn’t.

This photo truly speaks a thousand words, it reminds us that some dreams are simply postponed, not abandoned. Sometimes we put our aspirations on hold because others need us more. Yet with perseverance, faith, and God’s perfect timing, life has a way of leading us back to the path we were meant to walk.

Keep putting in the effort, and never forget who you’re doing it for. Every sacrifice has a purpose, and every step forward is a victory, not only for yourself, but for the family and loved ones who believed in you.

Congratulations to all our ALS graduates. Your diploma is more than a certificate, it is proof that resilience, determination, and hope will always find a way. May this be the beginning of even greater dreams fulfilled.

Meet the ALS Department Officers for S.Y. 2026–2027. 💜

Leadership is not about being above others. It's about being willing to listen, serve, and grow alongside everyone.

As we begin another school year, may we continue to build an ALS community where every learner feels valued, supported, and inspired to reach their goals.

Here's to a year filled with purpose, unity, and opportunities for every ALS learner to grow and succeed.

A SECOND CHANCE🌻

Before earning one of the highest academic honors at UP Diliman, Colene Anne R. Santos first had to return to the education she was forced to leave behind.

Colene Anne, a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy graduate, was named among UP Diliman’s candidates for summa cm laude for 2026.

Her story did not begin with a straight path through school. After a difficult childhood forced her to pause her formal education for several years, she found her way back through the Department of Education’s Alternative Learning System, which gave her another chance to continue learning outside the traditional classroom.

She later passed the Philippine Educational Placement Test, allowing her to move forward in place of the traditional junior high school curriculum.

At UP Diliman, Colene Anne became active beyond the classroom. She served in UP Kabataang Pilosopo Tasyo and earned several recognitions in the Emmanuel Q. Fernando Philosophy Undergraduate Conference, including awards in Applied Ethics and the Ethics Bowl Team Competition.

Her story is a reminder that education does not always begin, continue, or end in the same way for everyone. For some learners, the road back is longer and more difficult, but it can still lead to places they once thought were beyond reach.

Pagbati, Colene Anne. Isang karangalan ang iyong tagumpay, hindi lamang para sa sarili mong pangarap, kundi para rin sa maraming kabataang patuloy na naghahanap ng daan pabalik sa edukasyon.

🌈 Happy Pride Month, Agustinians! 🏳️‍🌈

The ALS Department proudly stands with our LGBTQIA+ learners and all members of our school community.

Always remember: you are seen, you are valued, and you are accepted just as you are. Thank you for sharing your light, courage, and authenticity.

No matter who you are or who you love, you have a place here.

With love and respect,
ALS Department ❤️💚💙
