La Consolacion College Bacolod reaffirmed its commitment to inclusive, learner-centered education on June 3, 2026, when it welcomed representatives from the University of San Agustin in Iloilo for a benchmarking visit on its Students with Additional Needs (SWAN) Program.
The visit brought together members of the University of San Agustin’s Guidance Services and Testing Center and LCC Bacolod personnel for an orientation and knowledge-sharing session on how the school supports learners who need additional academic, emotional, behavioral or adjustment-related assistance while remaining part of the regular classroom environment.
Beyond a routine institutional visit, the activity gave LCC Bacolod the opportunity to share a program that speaks to a growing need across basic and higher education: helping students succeed not by separating them from their peers, but by building the right support systems around them.
SWAN is LCC Bacolod’s inclusive learning support initiative for students with mild emotional, behavioral, learning and adjustment-related challenges who can access the general education curriculum with appropriate accommodations, guidance and coordinated intervention. Through the program, students may receive individualized educational planning, classroom accommodations, counseling support, academic monitoring and collaborative case management, all carried out in coordination with teachers, guidance personnel, parents and other school stakeholders to help learners thrive academically, socially and emotionally.
For LCC Bacolod, the program reflects a belief that inclusion is about more than admission or access. It is about cultivating an environment where students with diverse needs are seen, supported and given meaningful opportunities to grow alongside their peers.
During the session, LCC Bacolod presented the SWAN Program’s framework, objectives, services and implementation processes, giving the visiting University of San Agustin representatives insight into how students are identified and assisted, and how support is sustained through collaboration among school offices and families.
The visit also underscored the value of institutional partnerships in strengthening student support services. Because schools encounter increasingly diverse learner profiles, programs such as SWAN offer a practical model for responding to student needs with compassion, structure and professional care.
LCC Bacolod said the exchange reflected both institutions’ shared commitment to advancing inclusive education and building stronger systems for learners who may require additional support.
The school is encouraging parents and guardians of learners facing learning, emotional, behavioral or adjustment-related challenges to inquire about the SWAN Program and the support available for students who can continue learning in the general classroom setting with appropriate assistance.
For inquiries about admissions and the SWAN Program, interested families may contact La Consolacion College Bacolod at 034-434-9661 or visit the campus.
Through SWAN, LCC Bacolod continues to advance an education that is not only academically responsive but also compassionate, holistic and inclusive — helping every student find the support needed to thrive.
