Abstract: This study sought to assess the feasibility to establish a Special Science Elementary School (SSES) Program at Dadiangas West Central Elementary School (DWCES). Despite the school’s commendable performance and varied programs, a critical gap remains in the preparatory groundwork of students for the rigorous requirement of secondary STEM education. Thus, this project aims to institutionalize an enriched Science and Mathematics Curriculum for Fast Learner (FL) sections that align with the Department of Education’s priority of improving STEM competencies. This feasibility study began with administering survey questionnaires to the students, teachers, and parents to measure interest and support. This was followed by Key Informant Interviews (KII) with teachers, school administrator, and parents. Moreover, Focus Group Discussions (FGD) with selected students were conducted to supplement understanding of readiness, resource needs, and potential barriers.
