Junior High School

The UIC Junior High School Unit, recognized as a Secondary School of Excellence, continues to meet the challenge to maintain and strengthen its academic and non-academic performance and sustain its achievements over the years.

To ensure this, LEADS and SHAPES, an innovative and transformative system of instructional delivery has been introduced, cascading the school’s vision and mission and integrating Ignacian core and related values in all instructional classes and integration activities.

LEADS is Learn, Excel, Achieve, Develop Character and Serve. SHAPES refers to key value points: Start where you are, Harness what you have, Acquire new knowledge and skills, Preserve your Filipino values and resources, Enrich your culture, Share your learning to others.

Students and faculty are constantly reminded of these imperatives through a LEADS prayer before the start of a class or activity and the SHAPES Prayer at the end. These prayers also help them imbibe more meaningfully the Vision, Mission and Goal of the University.

The UIC’s JHS program is being continuously reviewed and evaluated in terms of the specialization as stipulated in the Basic Education curriculum designed by the Department of Education, with enhancement from the RVM Education Ministry Commission. In Junior High School, students are prepared for the TESDA National Certification of related qualifications   (NC I and NC II) for specialization courses.
