Abstract : This paper presents the development of the Quality Assurance Framework (QAF) of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart School (OLSHS), designed through the integration of the Augustinian Recollect (AR) Whole Learner Model and the Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges, and Universities (PAASCU) standards. Anchored in national quality benchmarks and values-based education, the QAF promotes holistic learner formation through a structured whole school– whole learner approach, aligned with the principles of continuous improvement.
