This paper determined the academic achievement of students in Christian Living Education (CLE) 8 in terms of gospels, acts of the apostles, epistles, and sacraments in a Philippine Catholic High school. Likewise, it identified the challenges in learning CLE 8 relative to teachers, students, learners' environment, facilities and resources, and subject. Also, it investigated the difference in their academic achievement when grouped according to sex and religion. Using a quantitative research design, this study was responded to by 127 stratified sampled students through a validated and reliability-tested researcher-made multiple-choice test-type questionnaire and checklist. In data analysis, frequency count, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and Mann-Whitney U test were employed. Generally, the student’s academic achievement is satisfactory. In terms of demographics, sex and religion were rated as satisfactory. Meanwhile, there was no significant difference in their academic achievement when grouped according to demographics. The top issues faced by the students in learning the subject are the use of traditional strategies by the teachers, difficulty in understanding the lesson, lack of encouragement for library use, and the perceived insufficient time in the subject. Hence, the study emphasizes the value of continuously improving teaching strategies, methods, pedagogy, and assessments to achieve optimal academic achievement in Christian Living Education 8. Also, the findings imply the need to address the challenges and continuously improve the learning of Christian living education.
