Abstract	This study aimed to determine the grammar proficiency of Grade 10 students based on Krashen’s Natural Order Hypothesis. It made use of descriptive-correlational method to determine the correlation of the grammar proficiency and the students’ access to the natural order. The respondents of the study were the 30 Grade 10 students from Don Carlos National High School. Based on the findings of the study, majority of the students are proficient in terms of the morphemes and structures that are considered easy and early-acquired. However, students still find it difficult to master the structures considered late-acquired. The grammar proficiency of the students has a significant relationship with the natural order of acquisition. It implies that grammar proficiency can be influenced by the unconscious process of grammar learning.
