University of Santo Tomas Education High School or usually called UST-EHS for short is a private junior high school in Manila, Philippines. EHS was among the Top 10 performing private secondary schools in Manila based on the results of the National Achievement Test and the National Career Assessment Examination in the School Year 2011 - 2012. I'm so thankful for this lifetime opportunity to do my teaching my practicum in this school.

    This school is located inside the UST complex, exactly on the fourth floor of college of education in the Albertus Magnus Building. The school vibe is very lively and positive. I remember that everytime I went to the school, there was always a student played the piano near the lift. Here are the UST EHS vision and mission.



    A great school must also have its rationale and objectives, actually not only just have but also strive to achieve its rationale and objectives. Here are UST EHS rationale and objectives.


    The UST EHS also has core values of the school. These values embodied in the naming of the classes, for example, 7 Responsibility, or 7 Piety. There are 8 values for 8 classes, ranging from grades 7 to 10.
