St. Robert’s International College offers a robust and inclusive Alternative Learning System (ALS) for both Junior High School (JHS) and Senior High School (SHS) learners. This program is strategically designed to provide second-chance education for out-of-school youth and adults (OSYA) who aim to complete their basic education through a non-traditional, flexible modality.
Anchored on the core principles of accessibility, adaptability, and inclusivity, the ALS program at St. Robert’s recognizes the diverse learning needs, life circumstances, and schedules of OSYA learners. The program accommodates various learning paces and contexts, empowering individuals to pursue formal education without the constraints of the conventional academic calendar and classroom setup.

The learning modalities used in the St. Robert’s International College – Alternative Learning System (SRIC-ALS) are designed to cater to the diverse needs, circumstances, and learning preferences of out-of-school youth and adult (OSYA) learners. These modalities are part of the Alternative Delivery Modes (ADM) framework recognized by the Department of Education. The primary modalities include:
Students enrolled in SRIC ALS Program are included in the official homeroom advisory/ class lists of SRIC- Iloilo City.
The SRIC ALS Program students are provided with access to library of learning resources—including PowerPoint presentations, worksheets, modules, and interactive activities—through a designated Learning Management System (LMS).
This platform serves as a centralized hub where students can conveniently access course materials, complete assignments, and engage in supplementary learning at their own pace, thereby supporting independent study and reinforcing concepts introduced in the recorded lessons.
Term evaluations are given twice each term—Midterm and Finals. These assessments are conducted online through the Learning Management System (LMS), allowing students to complete their exams in a structured digital environment that ensures accessibility, convenience, and timely submission of their responses.
Students will have a monthly in-person gathering, which may be academic in nature or designed for socialization, with the aim of fostering community building and strengthening the Robertine spirit among the learners.
Canvas is a modern, user-friendly Learning Management System (LMS) used by top educational institutions worldwide. It is a centralized platform that enables teachers to deliver lessons, manage grades, interact with students, and track learning progress all in one place.
At St. Robert’s International College (SRIC), our partnership with Canvas LMS is driven by one goal:
To provide a seamless, accessible, and engaging digital learning environment for every learner.
SRIC proudly collaborates with Instructure, the official developer of Canvas LMS, to bring the best educational tools and features to our students and faculty. This strategic partnership ensures we provide a secure, scalable, and innovative e-learning experience for all stakeholders.
