4-Year TLE Specialization Program
Calumpang National High School offers a 4-Year TLE Specialization. During their first year high school, the Students of CNHS were asked to choose their field of study from the four branches of TLE: Information and Communications Technology (ICT), Industrial Arts (IA), Agricultural Arts (AA), and Home Economics (HE).

Information and Communications Technology
In ICT, freshmen take Basic Computer Education and Microsoft Office. Sophomores take Photo Editing. Juniors take Audio Editing and Video Production. Seniors take advance AutoCAD lectures which is used in architectural designs. To avoid counterfeiting, the school used Open-Source or Freeware software like GIMP and Audacity in photo and audio editing.

Industrial Arts
Drafting Technology is the main focus in Industrial Arts. The students start with the basics, including lettering, charcoal rendering and canvass painting. When they reach their second year in high school, the Mechanical Drafting will be introduced to them, followed by the Technical Drafting and Architectural Drafting.

Another specialization is the Agricultural and Fishery Arts. The TLE garden built last 2012 is dedicated for the AA students to have a separated place in performing various activities and outputs. At the end of each month, they harvest the garden wherein the harvested goods are transferred into school canteen. Having the 4-Year TLE Specialization makes CNHS as one of the top performing schools in TLE.
