The Science High Scholar

Molding leaders

Built on more than four decades of forward-looking traditions and a unique paternal culture, the U.B. Science High School is like a tower molded with the lives and thoughts of its students and graduates.

The scholar is encouraged to pursue scientific and technological careers by developing in them the true basic knowledge, skills, and attitudes required for advance studies in the sciences and mathematics and training them to undertake research in particular fields of science and technology without neglecting their balanced development as total human persons. The school will provide motivation to develop the total personality of each scholar through democratic, nationalistic, and scientific mode of education for the effective membership in society by promoting sciences, arts and letters in a value oriented curriculum as provided for in the New Constitution of the Republic of the Philippines.

The model of the University of Baguio Science High output is based on the three following premises: mores, ethos and traditions which affect the output: the output is the product of the University education and the community/environment; the output operates on a leadership level. The process returns to society scientifically improved ways of doing things in a continuing fashion.

The graduate will, in the end, be equipped with the repertoire of primary seven skills (Cognitive, Affective, Psychomotor, Technical, Evaluation, Communication, Leadership) shown by their connected to each other; with the mores, ethos and traditions enriching the curriculum.

A word is enough for the wise

Verbum Sat Sapienti, not just a motto but a life statement that embodies the thoughts of the Science High student and graduate; encouraging a critical yet decisive mind in all aspects of their lives.

Unity, a profound word that goes beyond the dictionary term for the Science High, it means both heightened social awareness and teamwork built on accepted morals and norms. Respect, easily taken for granted by most people, it is an integral part of the Science High culture with a paternal system that promotes a strong sense of seniority through respect, not fear.
