Schedule for Grade 9 in USHS
The University Science High School, established by virtue of the CLSU Board of Regents under the Board Resolution No. 1622 dated June 14, 1976, as a prime school for students who are inclined to pursue science and technology courses which the country needs for its massive and sustaining development programs. In 1978, Board Resolution No. 1780 was passed revising the curriculum and changing the name to Agricultural Science High School as an answer to the clamor for change of the traditional curricular offerings.
Further revision/enrichment of the curriculum was made in 1979 to strengthen the agricultural components and meet the needs of the students who seek admission to Agricultural Institutions of higher learning without prejudice to the original goal of preparing the youth for intensive training in science and technology. The school has opened its doors to interested applicants who qualify through screening by an entrance examination to fill up the limited slot of 80 in the first year level since 1978.
In 1983, the school was back to its original name, the Science High School, to respond to the schools’ intensive emphasis on science and technology. Now in its more than 2 decades of existence, though a small unit in the University under the College of Education, the USHS has been an asset and will always be an asset continuously giving its share in making CLSU a bold name in the academic world where science and technology front the line in its educational thrusts by producing quality graduates.

Personal Information  
In University Science High School (USHS), there are 439 students in all grades; from grade seven until grade twelve. There are two units in this school i.e. Junior High and Senior High school. USHS is lead by their Principal, Dr. Mercedita M. Reyes. The total number of USHS school days for the S.Y. 2019-2020 is 206 and the allowed percentage of absence given for students is only 20% of it. The lessons are held for five days, from Monday to Friday, and starts at 7.30 AM to 5 PM. There are 24 professional educators in total. Some of them are also lecturers in the College of Education, Central Luzon State University.

USHS adopts the said order of DepEd, regarding to the grading system, with some modifications. The basic percentage of students’ completeness across the country is 75%. However, USHS has its own policy called Retention Policy. In Retention Policy, if USHS learners pass and get 75% in their report card but do not meet 85 %, they will still pass for the next level, but those students will be advised to transfer to another school – the regular one. So, all of USHS students are advised to meet a minimum of all of the subjects at the end of the school year. That’s so challenging, right? No 


Admissions
As a prerequisite for admission, prospective students must pass a comprehensive entrance exam. The top 80 qualifiers among an annual average of 400 applicants are selected. An additional ten slots are reserved for admission of the faculty/staff’s children.

Curriculum
All of the schools in Philippines use the curriculum from the government. It’s called K to 12 means education obligatory start from Kindergarten to 12th Grade. The Curriculum was implemented 4 years ago, after the former President Benigno Aquino mandated this so that the Philippine schools will have the same number of years as the other South East Asian Countries. With that, the University Science High School used the same curriculum, two years now after its opening. This is to make sure that, students get to choose the right track for their future profession. The curriculum also would like to help those students, to make them work-ready after graduating from Senior High School.
