We, the University of Santo Tomas – Legazpi Junior High School, envision ourselves to be a premier Catholic Dominican Junior High School that provides excellent academic services through advanced, innovative and competitive curricular programs in a deregulated university by 2025.
Thus, we work in making the Junior High School department:
• Number one in science and arts by delivering updated, experiential, alternative and relevant instruction to obtain local and international awards or recognitions;
• Known for producing completers who are responsible and capable of meeting the challenges of Senior High School and beyond.
Inspired by the Dominican charism, we, in the Junior High School commit ourselves to produce completers imbued with dedication to the highest ethical standard and academic excellence as a leading secondary science and arts school in the region.
PAASCU Level II Re-Accredited Program
The Science High School (SciHS), formerly known as the Science Oriented High School, has been unwavering in improving its services to the Bicolanos through the provision of quality education. The curriculum aims to produce completers who are science, technology, work, and values-oriented citizens; capable of meeting the challenges of the Senior High School and beyond; and are imbued with values through Filipino cultural heritage.
Apart from the enriched Science and Mathematics subjects, the curriculum is even more strengthened by the integration of AutoCAD, Robotics and Coding Education, and the use of ARALinks.
The General Curriculum (GC) is envisioned to complement the existing programs – Science High School and Special Program in the Arts – to cater to the growing needs of learners who are immersed in activities that uphold the intense quest for knowledge and honing of life-long skills.
PAASCU Level I Accredited Program
The Special Program in the Arts (SPA) is designed to produce graduates who are imbued with Filipino values through cultivating their sense of pride in and love of the local and national heritage through the discipline of the arts. The curriculum takes pride in its annual recital entitled Bahandi, and the international exposure in Yilan International Children’s Folklore and Folkgame Festival in Yilan County, Taiwan.
