United International Private School (UIPS) is continuously undergoing refinement to ensure that it is meeting the changing needs and demands of the K-12 Curriculum. The foundation of our curriculum is set by the Department of Education (DepEd) of the Philippines and in conformity with the regulations set by the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) and the Ministry of Education - United Arab Emirates (MOE- U A E), In addition to this, the school is monitored by the Inter-Agency Committee on Philippine Schools Overseas - Commission on Filipinos Overseas (IACPSO-CFO).
The school has adopted the K+12 Basic Education Curriculum (K+12 BEC). The implementation of this curriculum is mandated by the Philippine Government to facilitate the transition from the ten-year basic education to twelve- year curriculum. The school has started major revisions in the course syllabi of the subjects being taught in some grade levels as part of its transition to K+12 curriculum. The Senior High School Program (Grades 11 &12) With the Academic Track of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) is now fully implemented.
The subject areas included in the school’s curriculum are English, Filipino, Mathematics, Science, ICT, Social Studies, Music, Arts, Physical Education, Health, Technology & Livelihood Education and Moral Education.
Following the directive of the MOE-UAE, the school includes the Arabic and Social Studies UAE subjects in both Elementary and Secondary Departments. In addition to this, the Muslim students are required to take Islamic Studies to preserve and practice their beliefs and culture.
The school’s curriculum design is built on content topics and learning competencies for the subject areas in all grade levels prescribed by the Department of Education–Philippines. However, being a private school, UIPS has the right to revise and enhance its curriculum to any extent that will benefit its students. The school is constantly monitoring the progress of the learners in each grade level based on the desired competencies. It has also set and implemented school policies and effective teaching-learning strategies to achieve its mission and vision of producing literate, functional and holistically developed individuals.
