Senior High School

Don Bosco Technical Institute – Victorias offers basic education for elementary and secondary levels in accordance to the DepEd's K-12 Program. The secondary level offers an academic-technical program aligning itself to the thrust for productive, relevant and quality technical-vocational education by the Department of Education (DepEd Order No. 37, series of 2005). The presence of both technical and academic curricula makes the student workload heavy and the schedule tight. Hence, students who cannot satisfactorily meet the demands of such a curriculum will be advised to transfer to another suitable school. DBTI offers elementary and secondary curricular programs as approved by the Department of Education (DepEd). In 2012, DBTI has started implementing the K-12 Program of the DepEd. https://donboscovictorias.org/acad-tech-program/
