ALS and Sunday school (MWSP) information

To those who would like to pursue their education but cannot afford to be in a regular school, this may be of help. The Alternative Learning System (ALS) is a parallel learning system in the Philippines that provides a practical option to the existing formal instruction. When one does not have or cannot access formal education in schools, ALS is an alternate or substitute. ALS includes both the non-formal and informal sources of knowledge and skills. ALS is widely offered to schools in Davao City wherein people can choose the school most convenient to them. 

Here are the basic requirements in order to register for ALS Program:

1. Two (2) pcs. 2x2 ID Photo

2. Original and Photocopies of any of the following government-issued IDs:

   - Driver's License

   - Valid Passport

   - Barangay Certification with photo (stating the complete name and Date of Birth of the prospective registrant)
