This study was conducted to determine the reaction of the parents, teachers, and the Grade VI students in San Antonio Central School about the implementation of the K+12 program. Specifically, the study sought answers to the following questions: What are the student’s sources of information about the K+12 program? What are the student’s perceptions about the implementation of the K+12 program? What are the parent’s perceptions about the implementation of the K+12 program? What are the teacher’s perceptions about the implementation of the K+12 program in terms of academic performance and students’ welfare? To answer the above questions, the researchers used a survey method as well as personal interviews. The responses were consolidated, tallied, and were analysed. Results obtained revealed that the majority of the respondents are positive towards the implementation of the program for they believed that the added years will provide them ample knowledge and skills and enable them to become globally-competitive graduates. Further, it was recommended that: (1) The students should continue to pursue their studies despite the change in the curriculum, (2) orientations about the K+12 program should be given to the students for them to be motivated to continue their education, (3) Teachers should find ways for professional growth, especially with the current trends in education for them to be effective in their fields and (4) Future researchers should consider looking into the other aspects of the K+12 curriculum shift such as cognitive preparedness, environmental conditions, and others.
