Curriculum
In terms of new technologies, QCA students have been taught basic and advanced IT software programs. During their first year, students are taught with basic and advanced Microsoft Operating System. This includes MS Word, MS Powerpoint, MS Excel, MS Frontpage and other programs. In the second year, students are taught with HTML and webpage creating. Adobe Photoshop and GIMP are taught to students during their third year. The final year, students are taught with Macromedia Flash and GIF animations.
QCA students now talk of leadership and citizenship training as an integral part of their education in the academy. The fight for academic honors is very keen but healthy, so QCA graduates often top professional board and bar examinations. The academy also received reports that many of its students are either on the dean's list or president's list and many have been graduating with honors in colleges and universities. In the year 2000, the U.P. Diliman Student Council chairman was a graduate of Quezon City Academy, Raymond Palatino (batch 1996).

Famous quotes containing the word curriculum:
“If we focus exclusively on teaching our children to read, write, spell, and count in their first years of life, we turn our homes into extensions of school and turn bringing up a child into an exercise in curriculum development. We should be parents first and teachers of academic skills second.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
