After more than two decades of existence, the Makati Science High School then changed learning from science-oriented to science and engineering-oriented curriculum.

With the new system, the curriculum was changed by the emission and addition of some subjects, especially the electives; and since a new curriculum was adopted, some of the units for getting the students’ average were also changed for some subjects spend more hours compared to the past years.

Every year level was also given an additional hour which would be spent for Science and Technology; and according to Mr Andrian Mesa, the physics teacher of IV – Enrico Fermi and IV – Sir Isaac Newton.

In the first year, only the elementary statistics remained as a compulsory subject from all the electives; however, the students were given the choice if they would want to take up either Developmental Reading through Interest-Based Literature or Advanced Statistics.

For the second year, they were given the choice of taking either Business Mathematics or Advanced Literature and some teachers, including Mr Abraham Barrientos and Mrs Jeanie Peteza-Martizano, were both given the chance to teach Biology by the decision of the administration to divide the sections that should be under them.

Chemistry was also divided in the Third Year under Mrs Celia Flores and Ms Maria Michelle Villanueva Junio; also, Analytic Geometry under Mrs Guadaliza Villamor and Creative Writing under Mr Joselito Bisenio were also decided as electives.

Similar changes were also made in the Fourth Year for physics was handled by Mr Andrian Mesa (for IV – Enrico Fermi and IV – Sir Isaac Newton) and Mrs Maria Theresa Muñoz (for IV – Madame Marie Curie, IV – Albert Einstein, and IV – Michael Faraday); also, Journalism and Print Media under Mr Alixander Haban Escote and Linear Algebra under Mrs Guadaliza Villamor were taken by the students as electives.
